    I have grown up drinking Leo Coffee ! I am 60 years old now and originally from Mylapore, where my grandparents & parents would buy the coffee beans at Leo Coffee's outlet at South Mada Street.
    My day is perfect when it starts with the aroma of pure filter coffee without chicory.
    Of late I have seen the quality of coffee powder slipping. I mostly buy from Leo's Village Road outlet at Nungambakkam, Chennai - 600034. The quality of roasting is not correct ! It is yielding a blackish tinge ! Thete is no flavour now !
    The fineness of the powder is also improper ! Often the coffee doesnt percolate down ! The hot water just sits on the powder, which becomes tacky and clayey preventing downward movement of the water.
    It is hoped that Leo Coffee will look into these quality issues with urgency !

    Your outlet: Nilgiris at Race Course, Coimbatore -641018 are unable to grind Leo coffee for want of adequate staff . I learnt this while buying Leo coffee yesterday, 24th April. That is what I learnt from Mr. Sivakumar at the shop. Please arrange to visit this outlet and learn for yourself.. Good wishes to Leo Coffee and Nilgiris. K. Sridharan ( Ex. Parry's, Madras)
