Looking to buy coffee grounds/beans?

Stores in Calcutta that sell coffee

1. If you are planning to buy coffee bean grounds in Calcutta, your best bet is to check out the South Indian grocery stores in the Lake Market—Rashbehari Avenue area. This LBB Kolkata article has compiled a nice list of stores along with their Google Maps locations. This should get you started. Try out a few shops and a few different blends to see what you like best.
2. Another option is to buy coffee from Cafe Coffee Day. CCD is also a brand from South India, but their pricings are on the higher side. Some of their blends are great and it will still be cheaper than ordering online.

Look for a blend of Peaberry (PB) and Plantation-A coffee beans. If you plan to make filter coffee it is traditionally a mix of coffee and chicory (80:20 is ideal).
