Some people live and breathe coffee. For them, the beverage's rich and aromatic essence is more than just a morning ritual; it becomes their daily dose of comfort to kickstart the day with fresh energy.

The video opens to Hugh Abroad greeting the vendor and asking for a cup of hot mud coffee. He was having the drink for the first time. The female owner then went on to prepare the drink in the usual method — instant coffee, milk and sugar. After whisking the ingredients, she placed the steel cup into a sink full of sand. Interestingly, it started brimming with froth, looking absolutely delicious. Next, she poured the coffee into a kulhad (clay cup) and sprinkled some coffee powder. The vendor revealed that her stall, Choco Melt, remains open from Friday to Sunday.
Hugh Abroad was super-impressed by the mud coffee. After taking the first sip, he said, “Lovely, very good” and displayed a thumbs-up gesture to the owner. “Delicious. Oh man, this is so good. Really sweet and it's so milky but what makes it really nice is the chocolate powder on top. It's like a half-and-half hot chocolate and coffee, like a mocha,” the vlogger added. His review? 10 out of 10.
