Sunday MiD DAY's Anti-Critic Sorabh Pant wonders about the connection between coffee and bad music

The More Electrical Philips
Rating: 1 Peaberry out of 1 Peaberryu00a0u00a0
This Philips may not deal in electronics but their coffee is electrical. I can't even pretend to be nostalgic about this pre-Independence coffee supplier, for I discovered it three weeks ago.

But, because, I love coffee and anyone who gives me good coffee, I love Philips. There I said it. I am not talking factory doctored in a coffee shop coffee. I mean good old Indian coffee. And, this place is it.
Reasonably priced at Rs 28/ 100 grams, The Peaberry and Monsoon Malabar still sell like hot cakes. I even found a gang from Bahrain stocking up kilos of the stuff. Good enough for the sheikhs, it is good enough for Mumbaikar, no?

Why don't we have more Indian coffees at our Indian coffee houses? I could riot for this, but that would probably be because I am hopped up on caffeine. Though I wouldn't riot at Basilico, Brio and Mocha who provide these steaming cuppas in joyful abundance. Thanks guys, I love your daughters.

Mumbai's Coffee Plunger Deficit

You can't have Philips coffee without a French press. I mean you can, but what is man without style (i.e. Me?).
Our coffee outlets sell the most awful coffee plungers but I want real, raised by wolves, coffee plungers. If you do sell them, give me one free and I shall mention you in next week's column.
