tea doesn't really equal chai. Only when you add certain spices is when it's called chai tea.
Given that I'd say that Coffee = Chai! becaue I think you can have Chai coffee as well as Chai tea.

In Hindi the commonly spoken Indian language that is now spoken & understood all over India,Tea is called chai,so you are right there,i know that in most countries outside India chai has come to mean tea with added spices,'chai masala',in hindi this is called masale ki chai,or tea with spices.Coming back to coffee,this is a popular drink of south India,where it is referred to variously as Kapi or kafi ,but by & large it still is coffee,all over the country.

Chai is tea in Arabic and in the Indian sub-continent. I can help you out with coffee in Arabic. In arabic coffee = Qahwa or ahwa (in slang).

in Tamil we call it as KAAPI. As for as we are concerned, the drink
is almost crowned when it is called as KAAPI. Though it has many names, as we all know, it gets more PUNCH, only when my grandma gives it frothing in a 'davara'..hmm...hmm.should be
experienced to enjoy it !!!![both coffee & tea are English and when
you call tea as chai which is mostly drunk in North, why should we
not call Coffee as Kaapi, which is mostly drunk in South]
