india and coffee. india is famous for chai or tea, for spices, maybe also for its mangos. but for coffee?

the south of india is apparently famous for coffee. not like the north where you get powder cappuccino sold as real coffee. the coffee is still sweet, but filter coffee with lot of sugar, not coffee poweder with lot of sugar. at least.


this cafe is a coop. done by coffee farmers for coffee farmers, to get a better price for their coffee thriugh selling food. trying to support them. also they are selling coffee in their stores.


i doubt they are  earning that much with it. i am two times there. both time a lot of food customers who are drinking coffee, but not buying it.

i am the first time there because of the meeting.

the mysterious meeting with some of the ugly idians member. i guess, at least he said so.

 we met on the streets because of the tailor, who shouted at him. ended up in the coop for a nice ice coffee, with lot of sugar of course.

the second time i came here because of myself. saw the food, dosa, idly, south indian food. hm.. yammi. and cheap. maybe 30 for a dosa.

after noticed: i buy coffee. for a friend in the uk. amazing idea, carry it all day log, put it in my lugguage, bring it to mumbai, pack it in again. very excited.

when i reach germany and recieve the lugague a distinctive smell comes along. coffee. coffee powder . the baggage smashed, all the coffee powder in between magzines and books, and clothes.

i love coffee but that's too much. since then the only thing i had in coffee was some milk with a tiny bit of coffee. no flavour involved.
