☕ Introduction: A New Wave of Coffee Begins at Home
There’s something quietly transformative about brewing your own coffee — especially when it’s made with carefully sourced, small-batch Indian beans. As Indian specialty coffee gains momentum, more people are moving beyond instant powders and café chains to discover the art of home brewing.
Whether you’re just starting or leveling up your coffee ritual, this guide will walk you through how to brew exceptional Indian specialty coffee at home — simply and deliciously.
🌱 What Makes Specialty Coffee “Special”?
Not all coffee is created equal. Specialty coffee is grown at higher elevations, picked with precision, and roasted to highlight the unique flavors of each origin. At Grey Soul Coffee Roasters, we work directly with Indian farms in regions like Nagaland, Chikmagalur, and Coorg to bring out nuanced profiles — from citrusy florals to chocolatey depth.
🧰 What You’ll Need
Here are a few ways to brew great coffee at home, with or without a fancy setup:
1. Drip Bags (Great way to start)
✅ Gear needed: A mug + hot water
Our Drip Bags are perfect for beginners or busy mornings. Just tear, hang, pour, and sip.
2. Pour-Over (Clean & Balanced)
✅ Gear needed: V60 or similar dripper, filter paper, kettle
Highlight floral or fruity notes in our Light Roast single origins. Use a 1:15 ratio (e.g., 15g coffee to 225ml water).
3. French Press (Full-Bodied & Smooth)
✅ Gear needed: French press, kettle
Use coarsely ground beans like our Espresso Roast for bold, chocolatey brews. Steep for 4 minutes, then press.
4. Moka Pot (Strong & Café-Like)
✅ Gear needed: Moka pot (stovetop espresso maker)
Perfect for espresso lovers. Use our medium-dark roast for a sweet and robust cup.
