Chef Sahil Mehta’s cafe reccos
Coffee has always been more than a beverage for me. It goes back to my early hotel management school days in Paris, when we would start our mornings with a freshly baked viennoiserie dipped into a shot of espresso.
Today, I’d say it’s one of the most important part of my wife Surabhi’s and my daily routine, as well as a common passion that shapes the way we travel and experience different cities across the world. Everyday, we both ensure we get a minimum of a 30 min slot alone together to have coffee and unwind minus the chaos.
We are both coffee enthusiasts, with a professional machine at home and beans regularly sourced from Quick Brown Fox. Among the coffees beans that have been consistent in our cups, my favourites are Carte Noire Grains Pleins which we stock up each time we go to Paris , Quick Brown Fox’s Banekhan Estate , Kaffa Cerrado’s House Blend also their Colombian which tops my list and Libertario’s Voyage blend.
