Kolkatans love to experiment with their coffee. From infusing unusual flavours to topping them with vibrant garnishes, coffee is a beverage that never goes out of style. But what if we told you that you could enjoy it in the form of an IV drip or served in a block of ice?
So, if you're looking to make your coffee break a bit more exciting this week, My Kolkata has curated a list of five unique brews and presentations that deserve a spot on your café-hopping itinerary.
Served in a medical-style IV bag, this quirky coffee is as much about the presentation as the drink itself. Hang the bag on its stand, pour it into your glass and sip on a brew that's guaranteed to grab attention.
