Curious Life Coffee Roasters: RED 16 AUG 2020

Curious Life Coffee Roasters is at the forefront of Jaipur’s small yet growing coffee culture. The establishment has two branches, one of which opens for breakfast. Since I was to head out of the city early, I decided to grab a quick breakfast here. While the establishment offers a typical cafe-style food menu, coffee remains their main forte. A choice of four beans were available the day I visited, including single-origin selections. Most coffee preparations allow the customer to choose both the bean as well as the brewing method they prefer. Detailed descriptions of the aroma and flavouring, as well as the technicalities of their brewing methods allow even the most amateur coffee drinkers to make an informed decision.

THE COFFEE: I always have a knack for landing up with Vietnamese cold brew in hand, and today was no different. The coffee was slightly sweeter than I would have preferred, however the main of Nutella waffle eventually overpowered the sweetness of the coffee, making it an ideal drink of choice. The coffee in itself was strong though and non-acidic in nature, making it rather soothing to the pallet. The condensed milk lent a richness and thickness to the end product that is typical of a Vietnamese brew. The second coffee on the table was a Flash Brew made from Ratnagari Jasper Beans. The coffee in itself was acidic and citrus in nature. I didn’t care for this brew, although that was more to do with the coffee beans rather than the barista’s brewing technique or skill. I found this brew to get mellower and smoother on keeping. Another nuance of the flash brew method is the rapid cooling of the coffee by techniques not using ice. This then helps retain the flavour of the bean without diluting it. The whole purpose of flash brewing was however lost, since the coffee was eventually poured over ice before serving. I would have preferred a frozen silicone gel filled glass to keep this particular brew cold and un-diluted.

NUTELLA WAFFLES: According to the menu, the Nutella Waffle was to come with a topping of roasted coconut. The final dish that arrived however lacked even the slightest trace of coconut. On inquiry, the baffled server mentioned that the dish is not served with coconut. This reflected a clear lack of staff training and information. The waiter was clearly blissfully unaware of the dishes and their contents on the menu. The final result, therefore, lacked a depth in flavour and texture that an additional element could have added. The flavour of the waffle was ordinary and the side of Nutella & vanilla ice-cream that it was served with were the only two items that were lending a semi-acceptable flavour to the dish. I wished to see more of the chefs skills coming though, rather than over relying on pre-packed Nutella and store bought vanilla ice-cream as the central flavour of the dish. An addition of crunch via roasted nuts, and an additional layer of flavour through an in-house berry compote, would have lifted the dish to a whole new level. An in-house hazelnut chocolate sauce, rather than store bought Nutella would have also been more appropriate for an establishment trying to portray itself as a specialist cafe for food and coffee.

OVERALL: All in all, Curious Life Coffee Roasters is a great place with a relaxing atmosphere for an early morning breakfast with friends or family. The coffees on offer are worth a try by Coffee Connoisseurs and Amateurs alike. The variety of beans and brews available would put the likes of StarBucks to shame. This is a place that surely takes its coffee seriously and everyone is sure to find a brew that best suits their fancy. Do remember to steer clear of the Waffles though, and choose something that might push the chef to produce a dish that is well worth the money you...

I recently visited a store for coffee beans specifically for my mocha pot, but the beans they provided were ground too thinly, which would have damaged my pot. When I brought this to their attention, they asked me to bring in my mocha pot and coffee, which I did after driving 18 kilometers. However, instead of resolving the issue, they blamed me for not specifying the grind level and even questioned whether my mocha pot was genuine. The staff seemed to lack knowledge about coffee and were unhelpful, wasting my time and causing me humiliation. No refunds were made🙌

How did you respond to my feedback, and why didn't you meet with me or inspect the product I received? Your staff made jokes about my mocha pot and seemed uninformed about the products they sell, which was captured on camera. I would advise against selling poor-quality coffee and providing bad customer service.

How did you address my feedback, and why didn't you schedule a meeting or inspect the product I received? As a 15-year user of Mocha Pot, I'm aware of the required grind grade. It's your employee's responsibility to inquire about the desired grind number instead of adopting a universal approach. Furthermore, your staff made jokes about my Mocha Pot and seemed uninformed about the products they sell, which was captured on camera. I advise against selling low-quality coffee and providing poor customer service. Additionally, I left the coffee you sold me, which was unusable to me.

Lack of empathy as an owner doesn't seem to acknowledge the customer's frustration or the negative experience I had with the staff. Shifting blame, Instead of addressing the issue, you seem to be placing the responsibility on me. Unreasonable requests, asking a me to bring their own equipment and ingredients is not a reasonable solution and goes against the basic principles of customer service. Hospitality is about making customers feel welcome and valued. As owner's take feedbacks ,It's important for businesses to listen to customer feedback, take responsibility for any mistakes, and strive to improve the customer experience.

Seems it’s my big mistake to buy coffee at your...
