[Leica] IMG: Kevin roasting coffee

[Jayanand Govindaraj]

The coffee grinder looks almost identical to the one in the shop that
prepares freshly ground coffee powder for us every week. This is a scene I
have seen every week for the last 30 years! South India is a coffee growing
and drinking country, and 99% of the market is fresh ground coffee powder,
supplied by tiny mom and pop shops. Though a lot of coffee is grown, it is
all consumed locally, and nothing is exported.
 -
Tip if you ever come to India - never drink anything but coffee in the four
southern states, never drink coffee in the rest of the country!

Cheers
Jayanand
