Coffee making
Coffee is not an available option at majority of the places and most roadside tea stall vendors provide tea only. The electric coffee-making machines are very costly (more than Rs.5000 each) and out of reach for most roadside. The innovator has modified the normal pressure cooker and made it into a coffee-maker. A simple attachment of a metal pipe along with pressure-releasing valve has been provided in the cooker lid. Cooker with water is heated over a stove. Once steam is formed, it is released through the metal pipe and collected in a jar containing a mixture of coffee powder, milk and sugar. After allowing sufficient steam into the jar, in a few minutes, frothy and tasty coffee is ready.
