The wonders of coffee know no bounds for people living in India. It is the daily beverage that gets us going and helps us work through our morning blues. There is nothing better than a hot cup of coffee in the morning and we do it quite often, considering the enormous market for coffee in India. 

Although there are several coffee lovers in the country, there is a distinct need to appreciate the local flavours in midst of international chains taking over over our coffee drinking experience.
