As someone who has a deep love for coffee and admittedly a bit of an addiction to it, I found myself facing a common dilemma. Life was getting busier, leaving me with less time to indulge in the ritual of grinding beans and carefully brewing that perfect cup of coffee. I needed a solution that was practical—something that didn't require a machine, could be made anywhere, yet still delivered the same quality as a café-brewed cup, if not better.
I couldn't settle for the typical instant coffee options found on grocery store shelves. They're loaded with artificial flavours, chemicals, and preservatives—far from what I consider real coffee.
That's when I met Deepak, who shared the same frustration. We teamed up to find a better way. That's when we stumbled upon freeze-dried technology. This process allows us to brew coffee to perfection, freeze-dry it, and pack it into convenient pods. When those freeze-dried crystals meet any liquid—hot or cold—they spring back to life, giving you that fresh, full-flavoured cup of coffee.
Together, we decided to launch Modern Hippi. The name reflects our ethos—finding balance in a busy world while celebrating the simple pleasures of life.
Our goal is to offer coffee that's not only convenient but also authentic and enjoyable. We're passionate about bringing people together through coffee, whether it's at community events or simply over a cup at home.
