dabara-tumbler

A twin set of utensils for coffee service in southern India, usually made of stainless steel. This particular set of utensils aids the orthodox coffee fiend to chuck the frothy, hot liquid from a distance of no less than three inches directly into his open mouth. To achieve this without accidental spilling, he turns skyward, almost in a reverential posture of worship, and angles the tumbler just so. The dabara is the secondary utensil that creates the yardage in coffee in the process of frothing.
