The Spark: Why House of Rizz?

House of Rizz wasn't born from a business plan scribbled on a napkin overnight. It simmered, much like a perfect brew, from a deep-seated love for coffee and a fascination with Pune's wonderfully dynamic spirit. I saw our city embracing new experiences, craving quality, and building vibrant communities. I wanted to create a space, a brand, that reflected that – a place where exceptional coffee met genuine connection.

Our philosophy is simple, but it’s the bedrock of everything we do:

• Uncompromising Quality: From the green bean to the final pour, we’re obsessed with quality. We believe that every sip should be an experience.

• Building Community: Coffee has a magical way of bringing people together. We aim to be a hub, a friendly face, a place where conversations flow as freely as the espresso.

• The Art of the Craft: There's a real artistry to coffee. We cherish the meticulous process, the constant learning, and that little bit of "Rizz" – that extra flair and passion – we try to instil in everything.

• Celebrating Indian Coffee: While we love coffees from around the globe, we have a special place in our hearts for the incredible beans grown right here in India. We're passionate about showcasing their unique potential.

The Journey of a Bean: From Estate to Your Cup

The journey of your coffee, before it even reaches us, is incredible. But once those precious green beans arrive at House of Rizz, their adventure with us begins:

1. Thoughtful Sourcing: We don't just buy any beans. We work closely with trusted estates and ethical suppliers who share our commitment to quality and sustainable practices. We're always on the lookout for unique lots and exciting new Indian coffees that tell a story.

2. Our Roasting Philosophy: This is where the magic truly happens! We roast in small batches right here in Pune. Roasting is both an art and a science. Each bean variety has its own personality, and our goal is to develop a roast profile that highlights its inherent sweetness, acidity, and unique flavour notes. It's a delicate dance of temperature, time, and sensory cues.

3. Crafting Our Blends: Creating a House of Rizz blend is like composing music. We carefully select different beans, considering how their individual characteristics will harmonize to create a balanced, delicious, and memorable cup, whether it’s for your daily espresso or a smooth filter brew.

The Heartbeat: Our People

While I might be the one writing this, House of Rizz is a collective effort. It’s the smiling barista who remembers your usual order, the meticulous hands that pack your beans, and the shared enthusiasm for learning more about coffee every single day. We're a small team, but we're bound by a genuine love for what we do and a desire to share that with you, our Pune 'ohana (family). Each person brings their own Rizz to the table, and that’s what makes our house a home.

What's Brewing Next at House of Rizz?

The coffee world is ever-evolving, and so are we! We're constantly experimenting, cupping new samples, and dreaming up fresh ideas. While I can't spill all the beans just yet (pun absolutely intended!), you can expect to see some exciting new single-origin offerings from incredible Indian estates soon. We're also working on a few community-focused workshops to help you brew better coffee at home. Stay tuned!
