Nishant's Love For Specialty Cold Brew

Tell us about yourself: 

I'm Nishant Arora, AVP - Transactions at Qdesq, and a proud member of the coworking ecosystem where coffee is practically a lifeline. ☕️

My typical workday is packed with client meetings, often held at coworking spaces, and yes, there’s always a cup of coffee involved, no matter the time of day. If we’re not meeting in the office, you can bet I’m taking clients to a great coffee shop.

On weekends, I make it a mission to explore at least one new café or coffee shop, discovering what fresh ideas they’re brewing in the coffee world. And at home, I’m still living that childhood moment where parents ask their kids to perform in front of guests—except now, I’m asked to show off my coffee-making skills!

How did you get introduced to Specialty Cold Brew?

I have to admit, coffee has been a part of my daily routine for as long as I can remember. But over time, it started to contribute to my acidity levels, so I had to find an alternative. That’s when a client introduced me to cold brew coffee, which he sourced from South Korea. Since then, it’s become a regular part of my routine.

At first, it was tough to find cafés in Delhi NCR that offered cold brews, but in the last few years, availability has really taken off. My love for cold brew has grown so much that I have started preparing my own at home and store it for later. While I do have other equipment to brew in different styles, cold brew just hits the spot for me—and it’s super easy to take on the go.

How do you like your Cold Brew?

Cold brew is fantastic on its own, but whenever I get the chance, I like to mix things up a bit. One of my favorite combos is adding a splash of ginger ale, half a teaspoon of lemon juice, and a generous amount of ice to the cold brew. Stir it well, and you’ve got one of the best ways to beat the heat.

Another great mix: a bit of cranberry juice, a dash of soda, topped with ice and cold brew. Give it a good stir, and you’ve got yourself a refreshing drink that’s hard to resist.

What do you think is ‘The Next Wave’ of coffee?

The coffee ecosystem in India has evolved drastically. We've moved from instant coffee to savoring rich South Indian filter coffee, embraced a growing café culture with espresso-based beverages, and now we're diving into specialty cold brews and beyond. It’s been quite a journey, and as trends continue to evolve, more and more people are developing a deeper appreciation for coffee.

Cold foam, barrel-aged brews, nitro cold brew, citrus-infused drinks, sparkling water, and a variety of milk options—these are some of the hottest trends in the coffee world right now. I believe the next big thing will be pairing these innovative beverages with the perfect food choices, making the experience even more irresistible.

Lastly, what do you think about Breww 47?

Guys, I tried three of your variants, and I have to say, they’re all fantastic! It’s clear they were crafted with care and attention to detail. The packaging is also top-notch. It would be great to see more flavored variants in the future, and maybe consider making the bottles reusable.
