I am very picky about my coffee and I am pretty sure that there are some people like me. In fact a lot of underrated brands like blue tokai are far better than star bucks. Need your opinions, here is my ranking:-
1) Araku coffee (best morning coffee at home) 2) Blue tokai (for weekends) 3) Sleepy owl coffee (best thing to take to office) 4) Devi (I like the different flavours for a change) 5) Flying squirrel (deserves to be in top 5)
try cold brew of sleepy owl. no acidity nothing. instead cold brew is very sweet and tasty. however it is still very strong and if you get anxious easily, would recommend you to drink in small amounts.
Black Baza > KC Roasters by Koinonia > Cohoma Coffee Company > Blue Tokai > Kaffa Cerrado.
I hear good things about Tulum Coffee Roasters (Mumbai). I find Quick Brown Fox overrated! Devans isnβt even in the same league as any of these, sadly. I wouldnβt recommend Devans. Bili Hu - only for Monsooned Malabar and nothing else!
For those of you who seek that fine balance between value (for money) and taste - Blue Tokai, without a doubt. Their 1Kg packs last me ~3 weeks and are competitively priced (wipe out the competition, actually).
For those of you who are new to this and want to be introduced two new coffees periodically, try subscribing from ΔrΔmse. You can write to them at brew@aramse.coffee. They also have a YouTube and Instagram page that has all kinds of coffee tips and trivia.
Also, please purchase a good grinder. Makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE. Donβt be cheap, buying the Hario. Go for the Comandante Grinder instead, and thank me later! ;)
Personally, Malabar Monsooned and / or Arabica always without the chicory.
I drink the decoction after filtering. Yeah I know, it maybe considered uncouth, but thats what works best for me during crunch times.
Also, black coffee from CCD machine in office with sugar is good enough, when there is no other option around.
Far as brands go, I have only tried something called Classic Coffee's Filter grinds, its good enough, otherwise i buy from no name shops usually located in a Major Port town.

Whatβs your favourite one? Why?
Have recently started drinking Davidoff Intense 57. Can't go back to Nescafe ever.
Have tried Rage Coffee in the past. Nothing to rage about there. It was pretty average.
I'd love to hear recommendations from others :D
Blue tokai? Sure. Best quality.
Davidoff made extra strong with office kettle for the post lunch pick-me-up.
Cothas filter at home in the evening when you want caffeine but nothing that'll keep you up at night.
Sleepy owl packaged cold brew for diligence report nights as a meal replacement that can also keep you going.
You, are a true kaapi person.
However, Nestle as a company may die.

Unmatched with Red Clix. The 1zpresso J Max is a distant number 2 (good for espresso).
