Lightbulb Calling all coffee lovers - 10-04-2007, 02:33 PM

Hi ,
I don’t know how many people here are coffee lovers .. I definitely wasn’t till a few years ago … but now I am hooked… just cannot do without my daily caffeine kick … From the homely filter coffee to the elaborate cappuccino , lattes , espresso , mochas and what not have tried everything … the fresh aroma of coffee is so invigorating for the senses …

I am lucky to be in an age where the retail revolution in coffee has just begun .. From the coffee cafes in Calcutta and the south where so many intellectual discussions, politics, film scripts happened over a cup of coffee to this age where we also chill out over a cup of coffee … thanks to outlets like café coffee day who have truly revolutionized the way we spend our time drinking coffee..

Got to know my coffee in detail from X(this retail chain ), being a regular customer , I got to know that coffee making is basically a science , and the brew actually depends on the brew master , how hard he presses the beans , how hard he presses the coffee powder , what was the pressure of the steam … so many nuances , which I really wouldn’t have been aware of had I not come to this retail chain …

Please put in your views regarding coffee ,why you love coffee , which coffee do you love to have most , what do you think these coffee retail chains lack .. are they taking the aura around coffee as being an intellectual drink , and trivializing the drink … What sets the retail chains apart … What can make them better.
What should these Indian coffee chains do to sustain themselves if starbucks , and other biggies come in
What should CCD/Barista do to retain/attract customers

Myself a Big Coffee Fan!!

Though basic Cappuccino is anytime ok, Cold coffee rocks in Summer time!!

CCD
Cafe Frappe and Almond Frappe

Barista
Barista Mocha Frappe and Barista Caramello

Mocha
But Home made Espresso and Filter coffee is the best
Vending Machine Coffee is too sad! :bad-word:

More later about cafe joints...

Moi used to be a coffee addict.

Espresso is my favorite hot coffee

Among the cold coffees I love Kaapi Nirvana(CCD)...It sure does give you a high
