About Mysore concerns:
Couple of weeks back, I received a kit from Mysore coffee concerns, Mumbai. They were very confident about their product, even after I told I will collaborate only if I liked their product. As soon as I shared the unpacking in my stories, few of my friends already messaged me saying they already are using it and it is really good. I then only noticed they are one of the oldest establishments in Matunga, Mumbai. A family business that marks 81 years and 3 generations of hard work towards building the legacy!
Their beans are sourced from trusted coffee growers in Karnataka, hand roasted and ground in small batches to enhance flavour and create a traditional, smooth taste profile. Their vision has been to bring coffee to the Indian household and make home-brewing easy and enjoyable.

Notes
- Use a milk frother or pour from a height in between two cups to get foamy milk.
- Make sure milk is hot before mixing coffee. Reheated coffee doesn't taste good.
- Brew coffee fresh for best results. Though we can store in fridge, it looses flavour.
- Choose right filter size.

This is a sponsored post, but I have kept my views as genuine as possible without any influence.
Few points from me and few inspired from their cheat sheet that comes with the kit:
- Make it a routine – As you might have seen many coffee lovers sharing quote – “But first coffee”
On wake up, just make it a point to brew coffee first. While it is, you can unload dishwasher/ Put away the dried vessels in place or do another chore. - Practice makes perfect – First few tries you may or may not get it perfect. But by trial and error, or consciously following a recipe, you will sure perfect in no time! Adjust the measurements according to one’s personal preference, you will definitely perfect in some days and stick to it. It may take a couple of tries to get it right, but when you do, the feeling you get is priceless 🙂
- Stick to the same brand – Experiment with different coffee bean varieties, ratios, roast and find one brand that suits your taste. Make sure it is always available and stick to a brand.This will help you perfect the recipe. Ask expert friends who makes coffee where and how they get it, follow them.
- Enjoy the process – It should be simple, don’t stress over it. Just a few steps of brewing coffee in half sleep in early morning!
