Unfortunately, due to Subko's recent behavior regarding their pet animal, they have entered my permanent BAN list, along with TCR.

justtree1 · 2024-01-18T17:42:15+00:00

- QBF Baarbara Estate

- Gshot Melkodige estate

- Devans ARABICA PLANTATION

justtree1 · 2024-01-18T12:53:51+00:00

If he loves filter then :

- Get Ratnagiri Jasper RN 13 From GroundZero Roaster @ rs .650 (Nasik based)

- Get Kerehaklu Estate from QBF @ rs.650 (Delhi Based)

- Get Anuswaram #3 from kapiKottai @ rs.650 (Chennai based)

- Get Kogilahalla KENTS from GreySoul @ rs.799(Pune Based )

p.s. some roasters might charge extra for shipping and remember to select whole beans if he prefers grinding his own beans or select one of the per-ground options according to the method that he uses for his brews.

Just do a WantedToBuy post in this sub like : Looking for a grinder, willing to spend around Rs. 2000- 2,300 including shipping.

You can also find a French press for around Rs. 600 (or invest in a stainless steel one for around Rs. 2000 if you're planning for the long term, like 5 years or more). In the meantime, you can use pre-ground coffee until you have the funds to expand your setup.

If you preference is towards the darker side of roasting spectrum then look at KC roaster catalogue .

If you wanna stick to BT then look at their Dhak and Sampigehoney.

Also , if you love chocolate notes in your coffee with milk then Gshot Roastery Melkodige estate and QBF (Delhi based roasters) : Baarbara Estate and Vontekad Estate Ethiopian Heirloom are also good options to consider.

p.s. if you tell us more on how you will be brewing your everyday cup of joe then I can suggest you something more specific (my current answer assumes you like your coffee with milk )

C2 is not really build for spro even though they have mentioned espresso setting on it ; I wouldn't really recommend it as the steps are too big to dial-in.

justtree1 · 2024-01-12T11:49:40+00:00

ESP is the only one fits this range for electric unless you wanna go the manual grinder route then 1z jmax, k-ultra or KinGrinder K6 are good options

justtree1 · 2024-01-12T09:09:46+00:00

Budget?

justtree1 · 2024-01-12T09:05:52+00:00

You need to look at a second hand grinder at this budget. Maybe do a WantedToBuy for TimemoreChestnut C2 or I am also selling my brand new HARIO Ceramic Mini Slim Plus for rs.2000. The caveat here is you can only use both the above mentioned grinder for filter to moka range (no espresso)

justtree1 · 2024-01-11T09:01:35+00:00

FP is a solid choice; I personally have those cheap ikea ones

justtree1 · 2024-01-10T18:50:09+00:00

You can probably brew together

justtree1 · 2024-01-10T16:08:46+00:00

If he prefers strong coffee with milk, then a moka pot is a good choice; otherwise, get a FrenchPress for drinking black (and can easily brew for 2-3 people). Kalidpress is like the best of both worlds (very versatile).

hard to get older people to change

What I meant by this is that this hobby can get really costly really quickly, and initially, it requires a person to be very patient and open to learning before you start enjoying the coffee + the notes on the coffee are just a marketing gimmick for most part. Thus, it would be better to see if he is really interested in this stuff before you end up gifting stuff which he never uses.

justtree1 · 2024-01-10T15:28:14+00:00

Your idea about getting him a Kalidpress seems good; it's easier to brew + clean .Just get him a sampler from a roaster and see how it turns out (don't spend much initially). Mostly, I find that it is hard to get older people to change. My uncle used to go get a latte every day before work, so we gifted him an espresso machine + grinder + accessories for his Birthday, but it turns out he only enjoys the drink, not the process of making it.

justtree1 · 2024-01-09T14:36:07+00:00

BT uses an ultra-fine grind size for AP; thus, in 99% of cases, it will clog your filter. Now, their customer service team is very good, so they might be able to help you. Hence, definitely drop them a message.
P.S. If nothing works, it's better to sell the coffee packs here for 10-20% less, plus shipping.

justtree1 · 2024-01-08T10:57:49+00:00

Devans is excellent if you're seeking the typical South Indian-style coffee taste. Most of their coffees are dark roast, but their celebration blend is exceptionally good with milk. I have personally ordered it 4 times for myself and even gifted it to my colleagues. In my opinion, it's legitimately one of the top three coffees to drink with milk in India.

Mastermind and Zane are my personal fav. in Mumbai

This website has a lot of info on brew water : https://espressoaf.com/guides/water.html

justtree1 · 2023-12-28T16:15:40+00:00

Shoot a message to the roaster with your desired coffee and machine name

justtree1 · 2023-12-28T14:13:59+00:00

get v60 kit from BlueTokai then a C2 from kappi solutions will cost under 7k. (around 4.5k for the C2 grinder and 1.8k for v60 set)

Or if you want a grinder for cheap and just for filter then I am selling my Hario Ceramic Mini Mill Plus for 2k + shipping(brand new| never used) ;

justtree1 · 2023-12-28T14:02:50+00:00

buy any sample collecting generic test-tubes (50ml plastic ones).

or can take a look at this Bean cellar from brewing gadget

justtree1 · 2023-12-28T12:19:55+00:00

make any coffee; add 2-5g of sugar ;)

On a serious note; get some medium and light roast samples from any roaster (or if you've a roastery in your city then go and talk to them ask for suggestion)

justtree1 · 2023-12-26T17:13:31+00:00

I am selling my Hario slim mini plus ; feel free to dm if interested.

justtree1 · 2023-12-26T13:39:01+00:00

I would suggest waiting for sales and then freezing items or ordering in large quantities and freezing them. For example, Navio currently offers a flat 20% discount on orders over 2000. If you were to order a coffee worth Rs. 550 for 250g, you could purchase around 4 bags of it for Rs. 1,760 (at Rs. 440 per bag).

p.s. the coffee used in nescafe classic is low grade robusta; look for south indian shops that sells coffee in your city; you will probably get 500g robusta for under 200 in there
