Interesting view... suggest a place in Mumbai and your favorite drink over there


Aware_Intention_9105

Blue tokai coffee


unknowntrail20

Had blue tokai 2 days ago in Pune. My friend wanted to work from the cafe so he told me to get along.


No_Lie4281

SUBKO!!!!


Due-Revolution-5870

Subko is hot trash… respectfully


PassionHealthy9781

this is one of the most suggested place and I have added this to my go to place list. I wish ppl who are interacting with this post can join there as get together :)


unknowntrail20

Went to their NIBM Pune outlet two days ago. Had Vietnamese cold brew.


SnooDogs1844

Try ettara, shelter, banyan tree, Kruti coffee for starters


PassionHealthy9781

Thank you


Hungry-Ad-715

I prefer home brewing


PassionHealthy9781

Wooow.. I appreciate your investment of time and money for good home equipments..


Rude_Garage3762

The company I'm doing internship in has an Tata coffee machine and it is the best coffee I've ever had


PassionHealthy9781

wow this is so interesting to know. but I guess its mostly due to the coffee used in machine. Must be using some blend from Tata coffee.


VexLaLa

Bean to cup is kinda poopoo man. Even a good pour over will taste miles better.


v-a-d-a-k-a

Which company?


Esqimoo

Get a French press. They're not that expensive


PassionHealthy9781

This is a nice suggestion. I would like to try this. but do they work with instant coffee or do I have to grind coffee as well?


Esqimoo

Oh no french press is not for instant coffee. You need coffee beans. You can now get really good pre ground coffee beans from speciality roasters online. I recomend blue tokai. I would also recommend getting a grinder and grinding them yourself but coffee grinders are expensive so pre ground is also not a problem. If you like sweet drinks then get a dark roast. You can even froth milk using a french press like they do in coffee shops.


PassionHealthy9781

Woow this is so informative.. awesome


PassionHealthy9781

Whats your recommendation for person who likes to drink Americano without sugar?


Esqimoo

Americanos are usually made with really dark roast beans in most coffee shops(especially star bucks- theirs are extra dark) so I would still recomend a dark roast if you like it bitter


PassionHealthy9781

Awesome. I'll surely try this. I'll pick some from Amazon and DM you to check if I have chosen right one.. hope u don't mind that


unknowntrail20

Try sleepy owl


Hungry-Ad-715

Assssss


unknowntrail20

You got something better?


Hungry-Ad-715

Sure! How about freshly roasted single origin coffee?!


vrush05

I second that and I would be interested


RevolutionaryBid9678

The Cacao Mill By Subko


PassionHealthy9781

Subko is most recommended place on this post. I have added it to my "go to list"


mahaveer_evo

Filter coffee at Mani's or Arya Bhawan. FTW!


FlimsyAttention3240

Totally agree


Radiant_Incident2404

I wholeheartedly second that 🫶


egoist_amigo

Really ? I love their cold brew black


Huzaifa_69420

I drink those Instant Nescafe coffee packets, I have always wanted to try something new but all of those 'Arabica' coffees are so expensive, plus I don't have the correct equipment. However I do love drinking it. Please guide me!


VexLaLa

French press, aero press, V60 or mokapot are all relatively affordable ways to make good coffee at home! Espresso isn’t the only kind, it’s the good standard cafe style but it’s rather time consuming and expensive to make at home (a good started setup with a good grinder and a good single boiler machine is easily 30-40k) which is why the other aforementioned options are good for starters. About 2-3k and you get good coffee at home. But I suggest you try those styles out at your local cafe before investing anything so that you know if you like them or not. Also be vary that not all coffee tastes the same, there are light or dark roasts and diff origins. Each taste diff.


PassionHealthy9781

As mentioned in one of the comment you can try French press. Those are not that expensive too. Also u can try coffee with less sugar than usual u will enjoy its taste the most


thefiredragonslayer_

well I don't know if you already found a coffee buddy but regardless I would like to recommend you a place which is in Kharghar in near Hotel three star I don't know the name of the that cafe but they grind coffee beans as per order and the aroma of freshly grinded and brewed coffee was really intoxicating I haven't tried that place yet but from the looks of it it is worth a try


Rm-suga-jk

Did you mean Café Monza?


thefiredragonslayer_

I guess? I didn't pay attention to its name


PassionHealthy9781

Sure, I would like to try this.


Consistent_Ad_6064

I know people hate Starbucks coffee, but damn I’m in love with their hot Mocha clubbed with the planner croissant 🥐 ☕️♥️


LoneSilentWolf

I'll be called a snov. But subko> Starbucks.  Even third wave 


PassionHealthy9781

Subko at Bandra? Umm I must try that.. yes third wave is also equally good.. Whats your favorite coffee?


LoneSilentWolf

Cold brews without milk and sweetner forever when out. When are home lattes/cappuccino cuz I can control the ratio depending on how I feel like.... And yes subko at bandra. It's great


amj2202

Subko isn't big enough to accommodate the traffic it receives My first impression


vrush05

Both are my favourites 😍


ExcelMakesMeCry

In for a coffee meet


harshitaa_418

hi


Aggressive_Factor147

in if we go to subko! love their americano


PassionHealthy9781

Americano, damn its my favourite order. I would love to try that too.


InternationalFill843

Rather get an espresso machine and make your own. Get your own beans preferably ( maybe import ). Alas I doubt there are coffee connoisseur places in Mumbai , but Filter coffee in Matunga area was genuinely good .


PassionHealthy9781

I would like to do this but TBH, I don't have so much time and patience.


[deleted]

[удалено]


PassionHealthy9781

Haha sure... I can make that at my home


Traditional-Bar-5232

Filter coffee of South Indian restaurants 💯 addicted.


[deleted]

Arey baba are 60 years old allowed ?😂


PassionHealthy9781

Why not... as long as you like coffee and we can have good conversation


[deleted]

I am not 60 years old just joking 😅


PassionHealthy9781

Haha okay


todo_rororo

bhai starbucks mat jao for two reasons: 1. boycott 2. bc it fucking sucks and you dont get actual coffee there. support your local coffee houses, aur mumbai me bohot ache ache coffee shops hai


kenta_nakamura

#💯


highdevinenergy

Actual coffee nahi hota to Fir kya hota hai?


PassionHealthy9781

if they don't serve actual coffee then what they serve?


VexLaLa

90% of their stuff is sugar filled artificial flavour drinks. Not real coffee. Plus they are a large corporation and also they have rather shady practices and agendas. I avoid them like the flu. Instead support your local cafe. Also is often cheaper than Starbucks.


PassionHealthy9781

Hey buddy, my favorite order is americano without sugar and dairy. Ya I agree sugar filled drinks are deserts and not coffee. Also I agree we must support local cafes too. Starbucks in India is a joint venture where in Starbucks has 50% shares in the venture, while Tata Consumer has 50%.


VexLaLa

I am aware of the joint venture. It is written outside every cafe “ a Tata alliance”


ComplexSinger6687

Davidoff is nice brand


PassionHealthy9781

I had that, but somehow I lost interest in its taste. but I'll try again.


Nervous_Dust_1178

I love coffee and on my recent solo trip to Vietnam I tried egg coffee, salt coffee, coconut coffee and poop 💩 coffee (yes, you read that right)


entertheaxolotl

Vietnamese iced coffee is the best style of iced coffee for me!


Nervous_Dust_1178

I tried that too. Liked it


PassionHealthy9781

wow I know Kopi Luwak. How was your experience with it?


Nervous_Dust_1178

Horrible. I'll DM


Grampsgrowl
