Not without my coffee! For Samrat Zaveri, brewing a cup is therapeutic

For most people, their morning cuppa functions as a pick me up. But for a few like Samrat Zaveri, the entire process — from grinding the coffee beans to making the decoction to the final cup — is a therapeutic ritual.

Visitors to his South Mumbai office can spot an elaborate coffee station, which has the provision to satisfy every taste bud and preference, whether it is filter coffee, espresso or a French press.

“I personally prefer the filter or espresso. I got interested in coffee around five years ago. Since then, I’ve been collecting different kinds of coffees on my various travels,” says the Shaze founder.

The latest at his station is a coffee from Ghana, which he picked up from the UK. But the addiction isn’t chronic as he stops at three cups a day and rarely has one after 3 pm. How’s that for some discipline? .
