Who We Are
Coffee is not Kaapi if it is not Kannan’s Kaapi
In South India, coffee is more than a beverage — it is a ritual, a memory, and a deeply personal tradition. Known fondly as Kaapi, every household takes pride in crafting its own perfect blend — whether it is pure Robusta or a carefully balanced mix with chicory — brewed into a rich decoction using the timeless brass filter.
At Kannan’s Kaapi, we honour this legacy.
From the aroma of freshly ground beans to the comforting warmth of a perfectly brewed cup, our coffee embodies the essence of tradition, authenticity, and flavour. Every sip reflects generations of expertise and a deep-rooted passion for delivering the true taste of South Indian Kaapi.
Our Story
The Beginning
The journey of Kannan’s Kaapi began with a simple passion.
Mr. Jayakumar, the founder of Kannan Jubilee Coffee Company, started his career as a salesman. His curiosity and fascination with coffee beans soon transformed into a calling. With guidance from his mother, he began blending coffee at home, packing it himself, and selling it door-to-door.
What started as a humble effort quickly found its place in the hearts of coffee lovers in Coimbatore. His blends became a preferred choice among true filter Kaapi enthusiasts.
In 1971, the first exclusive outlet of Kannan’s Kaapi was established — marking the beginning of a remarkable journey.
The Evolution
With the entry of the second generation, Mr. Shanker Krishnan, the brand entered a new phase of growth and identity.
Kannan Jubilee Coffee Company began expanding under the Kannan’s Kaapi brand name — aligning its offerings with the rich tradition of homemade coffee blends. This transition allowed the brand to move beyond standalone stores into:
Franchise networks across regions
Modern retail and traditional markets
A diversified and competitive product range
Under the leadership of the next generation, Kannan’s Kaapi has grown — reaching coffee lovers beyond its hometown.
