Coffee Fest was happening across Bangalore for 2 weeks now and I somehow managed for the same on the last day during the last few hours.
The fest had:
Brew-a-Cuppa, where we were taught how to make the right blend of coffee and get certified!
Bean-o-Kraft, where one could get creative and make something using beans and paints and paper and whatever they liked!!
Battle of the Brew, where one could invent their own signature Brew!!!
I got certified for Brew-a-Cuppa; she taught me how to make the decoction using the 2 kinds of filters they had. We opted for the Malabar Monsoon. It was a light bodied coffee containing 100% Arabica having unique taste of its own – ideally for black coffee!
Wish I had opted for the Dark Forest. I would have enjoyed the flavor and the aroma more as this is more of my type.
There were other kinds of coffee for offer: Dark Forest – This one is exclusively for coffee lovers, a 100% pure strong coffee. Arabicaah – 100% pure filter coffee, Perfect – A perfect blend of pure coffee and chicory in a 80-20 ration, Charge – Strong coffee with extra dose of 35% chicory for those who need a re-charge
They’ve also introduced a new flavor called Morning Java – It has a blend of beans from Cerrado in Brazil nad Chikamagalur in Karnataka. It’s a full bodied brew with light chocolate and caramel tones.
Hmmmm… this one sounds good!! May be I’ll buy this and try it out myself

This new CCD is located at the ground floor of a service apartment near Ashoka Pillar. It has quite a bit of outdoor seating space. The indoor seating area is spacious too with space for couches as well as chairs. Service and food is very average, much like other CCDs. No one came to take our order for a good 15 minutes, and even then only when we waved our hands frantically. As my friend pointed out, you could have a meeting and walk out without eating or drinking anything. They screwed up my coffee order by adding whipped cream and sugar to it although I had requested them not to and tried to give me an explanation for it when I pointed it out to them. My coffee connoissieur friend said their cappucinno was reasonably ok. Music was a little too loud.
