Description
In the early 1990s, Aromica’s love for coffee began in Mrs. Iyer’s classroom, where its warm aroma sparked a dream. That dream came to life in 2016 with the founding of Nick Of Time Coffee, inspired by her teacher and her own journey—from shared university espressos to a deep connection between nostalgia and ambition. By 2026, the brand reached 13 countries, bringing Indian coffee traditions to the world with AA-grade, 100% Arabica dark roasts in beans, ground coffee, K-cups, drip bags, and South Indian filter coffee-chicory blends.
South Indian Filter Chicory Coffee isn’t just a drink, it’s a ritual steeped in tradition. Nick of Time’s Kaapi, the classic Madras filter brew, blends coffee and chicory into a smooth, earthy cup loved across generations. Its signature taste comes from the slow filter method, balanced with hot milk and finished with a frothy pour. What is chicory powder? Chicory powder is made from roasted and ground chicory root. Known for its woody, caramel-like flavor, it is commonly used as a caffeine-free coffee substitute. To prepare filter coffee, add 1–2 tablespoons of the blend to the filter, pour hot water, and let the decoction drip. Mix with equal parts hot milk, froth by pouring back and forth, and sweeten to taste. The result is a mellow, slightly nutty brew with gentle bitterness and lower caffeine, crafted from premium AA Grade Arabica beans.
