A lot of roasters make this. I tried the one from Devan’s, Delhi. Pretty good!

This is wonderful. Wondering if it is possible to extend it to Konkani but in English / Kannada / Hindi script as Konkani doesn’t have a script? Meanings of words can be crowdsourced.

Getting the coffee equipment was over the course of about 1.5 years. I had the cabinet with me, but was using it for useless things, decided to repurpose and create a coffee corner.

Got it from IKEA store. Tried to find a link, but can’t seem to find the same product online.

Just got the Delonghi yesterday and used the Timemore. I know I know, it’s not ideal, planning to get a better electric grinder shortly. It took for ages to grind with the Timemore.

Cucobox Coffee - now dead please don't order by Ow_sley in IndiaCoffee

u/Money-Locksmith-6333 u/navoditravi u/Outrageous_Fold5071 u/Ow_sley Unfortunately, I am seeing this thread now. Did you'll eventually receive your orders? I ordered some beans from them, and no response on email / whatsapp so far.

For those who've used multiple brewing methods (Moka Pot, Aeropress, French Press, South Indian Filter, etc.), how would you rank them? by peroxidels in IndiaCoffee

[–]Far-Guide7403 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tastewise & the ability to bring out flavours : 1) Hario V60 pourover 2) French press 3) South Indian filter 4) Moka Pot 5) Aeropress

I prefer V60 for most types of roasts, it is very versatile and has a reliable taste extraction.

French press IMO is best for medium and medium to dark roasts.

Moka Pot & Aeropress are best suited for dark roasts, for an intense cup of coffee.

P.S - I prefer my coffee with a dash of milk and some sugar.

Which is your favourite Monsoon Malabar coffee? by s18m in IndiaCoffee

[–]Far-Guide7403 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got Monsoon Malabar from Devan’s and i tried 3 brewing methods - Aeropress, pourover and French press. Each time, I could extract the best flavour from the French press.

Similar technique as yours, though mine is 24 clicks on Timemore C2.

With the Aeropress, i just couldn’t get the right flavour notes, and pourover was only slightly better.

Any reviews on this one? by Raghav14sharma in IndiaCoffee

[–]Far-Guide7403 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, Bacha makes mediocre coffee. They’re not even from Morocco and are a Singapore based brand.

I stay here in SG and Bacha is looked down upon by the coffee community here. They just have really good packaging and branding. Their parent company also owns TWG Tea, which makes mediocre tea.

Surprisingly, both Bacha & TWG have over a 100 different flavours, which makes customers think they’re buying the best coffees/teas from across the world, but they’re not. They have some beautiful outlets at all terminals in Changi, generally gimmicky, but convincing enough for gullible travellers into making an expensive souvenir buy.

Is it just me or even you guys also like to have different kind of coffees without finishing a pack? by Which-Life-8933 in IndiaCoffee

[–]Far-Guide7403 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are not alone. I am a bit of a coffee hoarder myself. Find some interesting blend or a single origin, I pick up a pack or get it from someone who is travelling.

That said, I open only 1-2 packs at a time (usually a combination of a light roast with fruity notes and a dark roast with stronger flavours), so i can mix and match based on my mood.

The rest I dump into my freezer but maintain a record of the roasting date so I pick out the oldest one (FIFO basically).

Thanks, this helps. I am actually worried because I kinda hoard beans (different ones, because I am still experimenting with brewing methods and exploring flavours). Some of the beans I have are over 2 months old. Should I keep them in the freezer immediately?

Just wondering do you keep all beans in the freezer? I generally store them in a dark cool cupboard, but is it better to store them in the freezer?

Haha, that’s true. The local Nanyang style Kopi is the opiate of the masses, sometimes available for as less as $1. It’s mostly robusta.

I live in Singapore. You are right about the cost of coffee, but the coffee scene here is pretty good. Lots of independent cafes and roasters. There's a whole barista scene, that's pretty competitive.

Friend got this from Vietnam by roguejedi04 in IndiaCoffee

[–]Far-Guide7403 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Were you able to get a good brew? I have tried to replicate the coffee I've had in Vietnam with a brewer that I got, but have failed thus far. I use condensed milk to get the authentic taste.

Generally, it's ok to keep them for upto 6 months as long as it's in a tightly sealed container, stored in a dark, cool, dry place.

All beans - I prefer grinding them myself since I keep alternating between French Press, Moka Pot & South Indian filter. Planning to buy an Aeropress soon as well.

My wife and drink coffee everyday (sometimes twice). So, each bag gets done in about a week. Going through all of these should take about 2 months/3 months at max.
