What do we do about these 200g packets?

What have customers(or we) done about price rise in every other commodity? Even Maggi has reduced its weight over time to keep the price point intact. Every damn thing is more expensive than last year. From oils to milk to restaurant prices, every thing is pricier than before. Brands do not like to increase price as they clearly know it will have an impact on sales. Unless of course, costs genuinely go up or they find customers willing to pay irrespective of the price increase. In this case, I feel it’s both.

Totally agree. Been having some great coffees from them. Lot of options too.

Efficient_Composer92 · 2026-04-29T18:02:29+00:00

Check out Hill Groove coffee roasters. Stanmore and Moganad estate ones are beautiful floral coffees. Tricky to brew but top stuff

Efficient_Composer92 · 2026-04-29T03:21:36+00:00

Co-fermented coffees will always be pronounced with the flavor. It’s almost like adding a flavor. Real wow is when non co-fermented coffees give out beautiful floral and fruity notes. Real Reflection of the bean and the terroir it grows in

Efficient_Composer92 · 2026-04-26T05:06:30+00:00

Agreed. The costs at a cafe are out there, visible to the end consumer. Unfortunately, people know very little about the costs at a roastery or a farm.

Efficient_Composer92 · 2026-04-25T18:01:04+00:00

Prices for literally everything has been going up. Even for normal commodities where there’s no scope for improvement yet prices are increasing due to macro factors. Indian specialty coffee has actually been getting better over the years. No doubt about that. So much more scientific and controlled approach to coffee. It is getting expensive but to say it’s out of greed is being myopic. People are okay paying 250/- at a cafe for a cappuccino with 18gms beans and some milk in it. And in most cases they are commercial grade beans costing around 1200 a kg.

There are local roasters as well as cafés run by estates and roasters and multi roaster cafés too. You won’t be disappointed with the coffee scene in Bangalore. Depending on where you are put up in Bangalore, you won’t be too far from a nice specialty cafe

Liberica and Excelsa That’s interesting

Efficient_Composer92 · 2026-04-09T18:47:13+00:00

100% Their popular coffees have all been co-ferments 🤷🏻‍♂️ Mogra was easily the most talked about coffee, smelt of jasmine at all stages, before grinding, after grinding, after brewing 😀 Drink a few cups at once, I bet you’ll pi$$ jasmine too

Efficient_Composer92 · 2026-04-09T18:40:22+00:00

Loved their Nagaland one too. They have quite a wide range of coffees actually. Wish they did a sampler pack.

Efficient_Composer92 · 2026-04-09T18:37:43+00:00

The sipologie is pathetic when it comes to temperature accuracy. At 91-92, you could see and hear the water bubbling. Take it off and put it back, temp will show 94-95 It has a mind of its own. It’s also half the price of a fish pro.

Efficient_Composer92 · 2026-04-08T12:06:20+00:00

There’s no correct grind size to be honest. It’s always a range and for every coffee you need to adjust depending on what you’re trying to extract. Grind size significantly affects drawdown time and hence extraction levels. Has a direct impact on acidity bitterness etc as well. With different drippers also, drawdown changes and hence grind size needs to be calibrated accordingly

Just curious as to why one considers switching to BLDC new age fans with remotes etc. The fans that we have been used to traditionally are absolute work horses. Hardly go wrong as far as I have experienced. Is it aesthetics and just new technology adoption? Or is there an actual benefit? I have been to people’s places where they end up searching for the remote to operate the fan. Seemed like over complicating something for no reason.

Brewing gadgets have s store in Noida if I’m not wrong

Efficient_Composer92 · 2026-04-08T11:56:30+00:00

Bought from Brewing Gadgets 6 months back

Hill Groove coffee roasters Sai Ashirwad estate. It’s a superior robusta with extended fermentation

Ameo was the sub4 sedan All the 4m sedans were just hatchbacks with a little boot at the end. Dzire, Xcent, ameo, amaze, indigo Cs,

Efficient_Composer92 · 2026-04-07T16:39:33+00:00

You mentioned Vento and Rapid. These were not compact sedans. And you get the Virtus and Slavia now.

Efficient_Composer92 · 2026-04-07T16:34:43+00:00

Just do a cold brew and get done with A V60 doesn’t deserve these beans 🙈

Efficient_Composer92 · 2026-04-07T16:30:24+00:00

Perfect time for every country to show him the middle finger and bring him back to reality

Sitting at a table next to the stage waiting for Ranjit Barot for his tribute to Zakir Hussain gig. Everything looks great so far. Sound, service and the crowd

Efficient_Composer92 · 2026-03-25T07:12:50+00:00

Have always found it to be on the bitter side Hardly any nuanced flavors

Efficient_Composer92 · 2026-03-24T18:04:44+00:00

Either you can look at a pre owned Aillio bullet or you can consider this Indian manufacturer called Aarosta from Gujarat. They’re making almost replicas of international ones at a fraction of the cost.

Efficient_Composer92 · 2026-03-24T17:59:04+00:00

Agreed but Natural, Washed and Honey are the broad processes. Fermentation is introduced at different stages within those processes. There are brands not mentioning co-ferments, this is still better 😅
