Quality takes time. One bean at a time.
Indian specialty coffee spans Rs 300 to Rs 2,000+ per 250 g — but 65% of the catalogue sits in a Rs 500–900 corridor. This guide maps where prices cluster, identifies the five variables that move a coffee between brackets, and breaks down what each tier delivers.
