Meet the curator Arpan | Specialty Coffee Enthusiast | Home Barista
“I’ve believe that some of the most interesting conversations in coffee begin at home.
With people who brew quietly, obsessively, curiously, and often with a point of view that deserves a much larger table.
That was the idea behind Home Baristas of India when it first began two years aho.
This year, I wanted that table to hold more than one perspective.
So, 13 home baristas.
13 deeply personal coffee selections.
A lineup that moves across regions, varietals, traditions, and the lesser-known edges of Indian coffee.
From Arabica and Robusta to Liberica, Excelsa, Racemosa, Libex and beyond.
This is my Curator’s Note for Home Baristas of India 2026. A celebration of curiosity, craft, discovery, and above all, Indian coffee.”
