Our Publications

Filter Coffee Finance publishes The Macro Brew and The Edge Alert. Nothing else.

🌎

The Macro Brew

The world around the business. India's economy and the sectors inside it: growth, inflation, rates, the RBI, government finances, credit, commodities, and the industry cycles that decide what a company can and cannot do. Read this one when you want to know why the ground is moving.

🔍

The Edge Alert

The business beneath the ticker. One Indian company at a time, usually a small, mid or micro cap that nobody covers, taken apart properly: how it makes money, where it sits in its value chain, what keeps competitors out, and whether the numbers hold up.

Same map, opposite directions.

The Macro Brew starts wide and works down, from the economy to sectors to industries to the businesses sitting inside them. The Edge Alert starts with one business and works outward, through its value chain to its industry and the market it sells into. Either one stands on its own. Read both and they meet in the middle.

The Edge Alert

What is going on inside a business that the market has not caught up with yet.

Research where nobody else is looking.

Large caps get written about everywhere. The companies that actually move portfolios, the mid, small and micro caps, barely get honest independent coverage at all. The Edge Alert is our answer to that: bottom-up reports on businesses the street ignores, with a clear thesis, the numbers, the risks and a verdict.

About Us

We are a newsletter company, and that is all we are.

India does not lack market commentary. What it lacks is writing you can read once and still be using six months later. Most of what gets published is either a headline number with an argument attached, or a tip dressed up as research.

We started Filter Coffee Finance to fix a smaller version of that problem. Large companies are covered by everyone. The mid, small and micro caps that do most of the work in a portfolio are covered by almost nobody. And the macro picture that governs all of them usually gets flattened into a single sentence on the news.

So we publish both titles rather than one. Macro on its own stays abstract. Company research on its own misses the ground the business is standing on. Put together, they cover the same territory from opposite ends.

We skip the daily noise, we prefer history to prediction, and we show our work: the data, the reasoning, and the things that did not pan out. We are a publisher, not an advisor. The job is to help you understand something, not to tell you what to buy.
