Fresh-roasted coffee beans, delivered in Hyderabad.
Hyderabad has its Irani chai and its long evenings, and lately it has espresso machines in many of the flats around HITEC City and Gachibowli. Coffee that is fresh enough for those machines is harder to find than the machines were.
The bag I ship to Hyderabad is roasted after you order it, so the beans are days old when they arrive, and they behave well in an espresso basket.
Coffee for Hyderabad kitchens
For espresso, the medium roast is the safe start and the dark roast is the one for milk drinks. For a French press on a slow Sunday, the dark roast makes a full, quiet cup. If you like your coffee sweet and with milk, the dark roast keeps its taste.
Say which machine or brewer you use and I will grind for it, or choose whole beans.
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.
