Let’s be real: your workday deserves better fuel than that sad, watery cup of instant coffee. If you’re hopping between meetings, powering through brainstorms, or tackling spreadsheets like a boss, you need a brew that works as hard as you do. Enter: Cothas Coffee.
This isn’t just another coffee brand. It’s a slice of South Indian tradition roasted and brewed to perfection in Bengaluru since 1949. Whether you're a founder building your dream, a professional owning the 9-to-5, or just someone who knows a good cup of coffee when they taste one, Cothas brings the kind of energy that turns "just another Monday" into "let’s build an empire."
Bengaluru Roots, Global Ambition
Cothas started as a small neighborhood coffee shop in 1949, when Sri Krishnaiah Chetty began roasting and selling filter coffee powder in Bengaluru. Fast forward to today, and the third generation of the family still runs the show, now with German roasting tech, global reach, and the same hometown soul.
The coffee beans? Sourced from the lush hills of Karnataka places like Chikmagalur and Kodagu. The roasting process? Still done in-house, batch by batch, with a relentless focus on flavor, freshness, and aroma.
Cothas isn’t just another name on the shelf. It’s India’s largest family-owned coffee manufacturer. And yes, they’re still based right here in Bangalore.
Why Instant Just Doesn’t Cut It
Instant coffee is fast, sure. But is it full-bodied? Flavor-rich? A little bit soulful? Not quite.
Cothas South Indian filter coffee is a different experience. Made the old-school way with a metal filter, hot water, and patience, it gives you a strong, aromatic decoction that’s got actual character. Add milk and sugar if you like, or sip it black if you mean business. Either way, it’s the kind of cup that makes you sit up straighter and say, "Let’s get this done."
