Coffee for founders, from another one-person operation.
This roastery is a one-person operation, so I know the early table before the day starts, the notebook with too many lines in it, and the coffee that has to carry the first three hours.
I roast in small batches after each order. It is the same care I would want from anyone I bought from, and it is the only way one person can do this honestly.
Coffee for the first three hours
An espresso from the dark roast is the fastest strong cup. The medium roast in a French press makes enough for a table and holds its taste while the meeting runs long. If your office wants a standing order, write to me and we will work out a rhythm.
Tell me your brewer and I will grind for it and add a note on where to start.
How the coffee reaches you
I buy green arabica from one small farm in the coffee hills of Karnataka, a few kilos at a time. I roast it at home on a small drum roaster, in batches of a few hundred grams, after my day job. I roast your bag after you order it, so it leaves within days of the roast and not months.
You choose light, medium, or dark, or you tell me the notes you like and I roast toward them. You can have whole beans, or tell me your brewer and I will grind for it. A 250 g bag is ₹750 and a 500 g bag is ₹1,200, with free shipping in India.
Who you are buying from
I am one person with a roaster in my kitchen. There is no team, no cafe, and no warehouse. When you write to me about a grinder or a shot that came out sour, I am the one who writes back, and I have made the same mistakes at my own counter.
Questions people ask
How long does delivery take?
I roast after you order, let the beans settle for a day, and hand the bag to the courier. Most cities in India receive it within a week of the order.
Is shipping really free?
Yes. Free shipping in India on every bag, 250 g or 500 g.
Which roast should I start with?
If you are unsure, start with the medium roast. It works in a moka pot, a French press, a pour-over, and an espresso machine, and it forgives a grind that is a little off.
The shop has the three roasts and the custom roast. If you are not sure, write to me at chanda.sayonsom@gmail.com and tell me how you brew.
