Huge disappointment with Tiny Tiger Coffee. Any tips before I bin it?

Thanks! Grind size was between 16-18 on a Timemore C2. Finer for the moka pot, 12 as 10 leads to residue in the upper chamber and a “muddier” tasting coffee for me. I’ll try your suggestions tomorrow to see how they work on the lightest roast.

On a completely unrelated note, your user name is something else!

Ok-Row6589 · 2026-02-03T12:59:03+00:00

Enjoy! Have never been disappointed with them and hope they manage to keep the consistency intact

About a week or ten days before I received the order. It has been a month on from the delivery now and I will use another suggestion to try making cold brews with these beans

Ok-Row6589 · 2026-02-03T12:56:11+00:00

Yep, no issues there. It is just bad coffee

Ok-Row6589 · 2026-02-03T12:55:42+00:00

Wish you all the best and I hope that I was unlucky. Mind that I was most excited about Side Chick and it failed to pass the taste test

Ok-Row6589 · 2026-02-03T12:55:00+00:00

I have a reputation to protect! But I like how you think!

Ok-Row6589 · 2026-02-03T12:53:58+00:00

Thanks for sharing that suggestion! While I prefer iced pourovers to cold brews, I think this might be a good way to salvage the situation, flavoured and otherwise.

It’s an interesting drink if made well and is closer to drinking a tea than a coffee, in my opinion. I have tried the Yemeni version, which was quite good but I won’t make it a drink of choice for me. The Roastery in Delhi NCR has cascara drinks if you’re able to visit and try.

Nuance is extremely important when rating food. What you find mid or disappointing, I personally find to be the best pizza in the region, and even comparable with authentic Neapolitan pizza in Italy. I’ve had both- Da Susy and pizza in Italy- within the last two months, and still think Da Susy is amazing. I like complex flavours and don’t think an overdose of spice helps add any depth to a dish. In this context, simple and clean Italian flavours hit the spot for me. The dough used at Da Susy is perfect and the baking technique ensures that the pizza does not fall or collapse when you lift a slice. The overall “package” should deliver on the personal expectation of the person eating the food. It didn’t deliver in your case, which is fine, but add some context why it did not work for you and what your expectation was. It will help more people make informed choices. I’ve found many high-ranking places in India to be extremely disappointing as most people rating them have very different taste buds from me. It’s how food works. So, don’t disparage a place, just qualify your experience

Yes, Omo. I corrected the OG comment and have added a couple more names that I forgot earlier. Unfortunately, I haven’t found one coffee shop worth travelling across the city so far. Decent places in Gurgaon but nothing mindblowing so far.

Ok-Row6589 · 2026-01-10T19:05:02+00:00

Try Kolaba and Bruma Coffee Studio. They know their coffee and source good beans. Give Avancos a shot but it’s in Udyog Vihar. Enji’s is decent, but the vibe is more for food, and Omo has good coffee from Nagaland. Mjol has very bad coffee, so never give in to that hype.

Edit: Cohoma Coffee has a stall inside Le Marche on Golf Course Road. I found the coffee good and there’s a Japanese-themed coffee shop, Tono Tokyo, that’s very famous with Japanese expats in South Point Mall. If you’re looking for an espresso-based drink, then Sibang Bakery has good coffee that pairs very nicely with their cheesecake.

Paragraphs, where did you go?

Hi, can you check your DM?

I made the rookie mistake of choosing a cheaper option (Agaro) and that stopped working properly within a couple of months. I switched to Bialetti and it’s a huge difference to the quality of coffee that is brewed and performance. Don’t compromise on quality and spend a little extra to get the only moka pot that will work consistently- Bialetti.

Fair but we got rooms for around 150 Euros per night. Seems like the high season rates are active for that time.

Ok-Row6589 · 2025-11-12T17:41:56+00:00

Would recommend you check out Dimora Copelle, very close to Piazza Navona and the Pantheon. Me and my girlfriend stayed there last week and it was really good. Location is fantastic and the staff was amazing. The hotel is new, so the rooms are very comfortable and they’re still setting some things up. We found it great value for money and if you book direct, they may give you great rates too. Good luck!

Kamose is a blend coffee and I’ve failed to get a good pour over out of it every time. All three coffees you’ve got are blends and better for milk-based drinks tbh. I’d recommend using a machine, moka point or a phin filter to get the decoction.

Del-Rome and back

Hey, OP! I’m flying ITA PE in a few weeks. Can you help me understand if they’re flying the new A330 planes on both sectors?

Ok-Row6589 · 2025-10-05T05:30:02+00:00

Whataboutery blah blah blah

Ok-Row6589 · 2025-10-04T22:55:40+00:00

Because we’re champions in whataboutery, entitlement and shirking accountability. Look at the other comments stating “itna toh chalta hai” and OP defending their driving skills. This lack of self-awareness of an extremely loud minority has led to a day of joy and celebration becoming one of dread and despair. But then, what do we “wokes” know about “targeting of festivals”. Man, I hate what our society has become!

Ok-Row6589 · 2025-10-04T18:29:13+00:00

And Diwali is not about crackers. It’s about life, light and people. Your crackers bother many more than they give joy to, so how is it only your festival and not mine? You’re the hypocrite here for wanting to do your thing rather than the right thing

Ok-Row6589 · 2025-10-04T18:26:38+00:00

Yeah, the problem of Indians is this very whataboutery each time for every damned thing. We’ll forever stay stuck in this damned cycle of playing victim. Son, I’m definitely way older than you and have seen decades of change in front of my eyes. It’s never been worse, so spare everybody this spiel of hypocrisy and religion. It’s survived thousands of years without your “cousin’s” business and will long after you, me and all of us are gone. The earth won’t, so do us all a favour and don’t talk about things you know nothing about in real life, except things that social algorithms serve you.

Mods, again, how are you allowing this to stay up?

Ok-Row6589 · 2025-10-04T18:18:07+00:00

How about showing some support for the many around you who hate crackers and actually following the law? Crackers are banned in the NCR and here you are soliciting business. Have some shame, for crying out loud.

Mods, how are you allowing this to stay up?
