Espresso
Double, Gulmi washed
Nepali beans, roasted in Patan and ground to order, with whatever the baker sent up the hill this morning. What is on the board is what is in the room.
Double, Gulmi washed
The one we are known for
Wet, not dry, unless you say
Eighteen hours, no ice till it goes
Whatever is on the board
Boiled, not steeped
Second flush, no milk
Winter only, and it is winter
From the baker on the hill
Sent up warm at eight
Cut thick, toasted if you want
On the sourdough, with achar
Ground to order, or left whole
For the office, or the stubborn
A chautari is the resting platform under a tree at the side of a hill road, and that is the whole idea: somewhere to stop rather than somewhere to arrive. Prakash Gurung opened it in 2017 with one machine and a chalkboard, and still writes the board himself at seven every morning. The beans are Nepali, the roaster is in Patan, and the grinder is set fresh for every order because he refuses to argue about it.
