How Indian coffee roasters are shaping home brewing

As awareness grows, Indian coffee brands are increasingly helping coffee drinkers identify what they like, rather than prescribing taste. These Indian coffee roasters reflect this shift.

Blue Tokai Coffee Roasters

This specialty coffee brand helps customers select coffee based on flavour profiles like chocolate and nutty or bold and bitter. They also offer limited edition blends like their 13th Birthday Blend which reminds drinkers of Black Forest cake.

Araku Coffee

This Indian craft coffee brand rates their coffee from 1 (lightest) to 4 (darkest). The lighter ones make for great filter coffee. The coffees are available as whole beans or as ground powder. They also make their own moka pot, AeroPress and Origami dripper.

Maverick & Farmer

This brand's coffee range includes a house blend Parama, a medium roast blend of Arabica (92%) and Robusta (8%), with peaberry beans of both. The small amount of Robusta makes it ideal for espresso brewing, with notes of chocolate and caramel.

Sleepy Owl Coffee

This coffee brand also offers a range of coarseness of ground coffee—fine, medium, coarse—which works for different brewing methods. Other options include South Indian filter coffee with Robusta and chicory, and even a Protein Coffee, both from Chikmagalur.

Devan's Coffee

This coffee brand is known for sourcing and roasting single-origin coffees and crafting blends that customers can mix and match. Devan’s also makes tea blends besides a range of equipment like an AeroPress, moka pots, and tea infusers.

Pour Over Coffee Roasters

Launched in 2025, this brand's range of blends from Chikmagalur include the medium-dark Arabica Cherry AA, Mysore Nugget Extra Bold, and is introducing two international beans—Colombia Natural and Colombia Papayo, and also offers a Barrel Aged blend.

Subko Coffee Roasters

This brand does have special coffee projects like Project Pearl from the Ratnagiri Estate in Karnataka, a light roast with notes of marigold, dragon fruit, and peach tea. Project 360, meanwhile, is a medium roast Arabica from Badra Estates in Chikmagalur, with notes of green apple, apricot, and hazelnut.
