Tumblers of Indian markets are a joke

I’m pretty sure ya’ll have seen the tumbler in the picture everywhere like I did. But my new colleague in Jan came in with a Fellow tumbler. I fucking loved it. Price toh no so much. 5k. Out of budget. So, I ordered this one for 999.

Logistics wise, I had to followup with the company for 3 damn weeks. Apparently there are divisions inside the company… I still don’t know if the brand is Headway or Rabitat or whatever. Each time a new customer care exec spoke with zero clue.

I received it. First impression was downer. Why? By the time I brewed and carried it to a nearby park, coffee was lukewarm.

Even today, office is just 10 min away, even then coffee’s hardly hot. I mean it practically serves no purpose.

Now comes the best part— It was just a breweing sesh and when I kept the tumbler on my slab, it was tilted. When checked the base was out of place. I touched it and it came off. Result is what you’re seeing in the picture.

This Java Tumbler by Headway is 4 months old.

Ultimate Coffee Beans Tier List Done Correctly !!!(Please add your votes so others can experience the best India has to offer too)!!!

Hi I saw similar posts and tier lists done before but it is sometimes just brands and I’d really wanna know which exact coffee from the brand’s catalog is actually the favourite of most people.

Please add your top favourites mentioning brand plus which exact coffee. So please don’t say Blue Tokai be specific ex Blue Tokai French Roast

Please add a comment in the following format :

<how many years you’ve been buying specialty coffee beans>
<Top 5 or less coffees comma separated so 1,2,3,4,5 (you can add upto 5 or less. Order them best to worst)>

Example comment to vote:
1
Araku Micro Climate, Blue Tokai French Roast

Aside from the top two lines of the comment feel free to add more light on your reasoning

I will probably accumulate the data and try to update somewhere once we get enough comments.

Please do upvote so this reaches enough people - I don’t care for karma only to compile a list that I can personally try out for my pour over and cold brew setup. I am into data analytics and would add the results later if we get enough traction on this post.

La Bon Beans &amp; Coffee is dead ?

Context : back in 2024 I started exploring the new coffee roasters emerging in India and in December I tried La Bon Beans , at the time I discovered them through their website. After one week of receiving my order I got a call from a lady who happened to be one of the founders of the couple that has started this business( in July of the same year probably ). She asked how the coffee was , how the packaging was etc and she was genuinely curious and concerned about the customer's opinions and later told me about their story and all that . 2 weeks ago i was clearing out my kitchen cabinet and thought to myself, let me check em out one time and to my surprise they had micro lots added to their website, I was happy for them and wanted to order some beans just to check if anything had improved.

I placed an order on 1st May , no emails , no messages no nothing so far , I checked their google maps business thingie and i guess I'm not the only one who's going through this , apparently they have closed off temporarily (since November Idk, reviews on the google profile says so )

Just wanted to ask if anyone here knows what's going on with them or why they have gone under if they have ?

First sip: bright. Like properly bright. That grapefruit note on the bag isn’t marketing fluff, it’s right there, upfront. As it cools, it opens up into this really nice blackcurrant sweetness with a clean, lively finish. No muddiness, no bitterness, just crisp and juicy.

Body is medium-light, super drinkable, and honestly feels like the kind of coffee that converts people into liking black coffee.

I brewed it slightly cooler than usual to let the acidity shine, and it paid off. Might push extraction a bit more next time just to see how far I can take those fruit notes.

Curious if anyone else here has tried beans from Java House or Kenyan AA in general — how do you usually brew yours?
