As an extensive coffee drinker and lover of coffee  houses, I am going to compare the two most visited coffee shops in India – Starbucks and Cafe Coffee Day.

Ever since Starbucks opened its first outlet in India, we’ve all been aware of the disruption in the coffee market, but all customer comparisons have been spoken in hushed tones. And even though I have seen the long lines outside a Starbucks outlet in New Delhi, the CCD’s and Costa Coffee’s aren’t exactly empty either.  I was confused why a city as busy as New Delhi would have people with enough time to wait outside Starbucks for over two hours just to get a cup of coffee. Guess that says something about Starbucks success in maintaining a premium position in India.

Starbucks vs CCD: Menu:

Both coffee houses have a fairly large and appetizing selection of food and beverages. Both have beverages including hot and cold coffees, iced teas and frappuccinos. I like   that Cafe Coffee Day is having fun with their frappes by using oreos and coffee beans, but Starbucks wins me over by including less-calorie caffine fixes like iced cappuccinos and espresso shots, whereas CCD for the days I’m looking for non-creamy drinks. Lately, CCD has increased its food menu and even started including Indianized sides like samosa, etc.

Pricing:

Starbucks is infamous not just in India but also abroad for selling overpriced coffee. At a first glance the price point does seem much higher in comparison to CCD. For example, a tall cappuccino in Starbucks costs INR 120 and a regular cappuccino at CCD costs INR 75 (before taxes, tall is equivalent to regular of CCD). Similarly, a tall cafe mocha in Starbucks costs INR 140 and a regular cafe mocha at CCD costs INR 95 (before taxes). here are the two menus for comparison. Check out the extensive drinks manu for starbucks and CCD drinks menu. But all that begins to change when you do go to CCD to have a cup worth its buck.

Ambience:

Both coffee houses have pretty nice interiors. Cafe Coffee Day outlets have brighter colors like purple and red, while Starbucks has its signature off-whites and rustic browns inspired by authentic European coffee houses.

Coffee has always been a significant part of my life. For me, it’s a chance to start my day and gather my thoughts – it’s fuel for my creative process.

OnePlus went global from the start.Founded in December 2013 in Shenzhen, China, OnePlus decided to operate as a global company from the start. Its first device, the OnePlus One, was launched on April 23, 2014, in sixteen different countries spanning North America, Europe and Asia. The expectation was to sell around 10 thousand units of the OnePlus One. However, at the launch 3,000 requests per second overwhelmed the website which made it shut down. And by the end of the first year, the small team had eventually sold more than one million units worldwide.

The OnePlus One runs Android 4.4 KitKat operating system. The device sports a 5.5-inch LCD capacitive touch screen with 401 PPI pixel density.It has a 13 MP primaryrear camera with dua flal-LEDsh and a  secondary front camera. The OnePlus One has 3 GB RAM and 64GB of internal storage. The phone is powered with 2.5 GHz quad-core Krait 400 processor & Snapdragon 801 chipset.

With the OnePlus 2, we have something bold to say. We believe that great products come from great ideas, not multi-million dollar marketing campaigns. We believe “that’s just the way things are” is almost always the wrong answer. Most of all, we believe that great things should be shared.

The OnePlus 3 (also abbreviated as OP3) is a smartphone produced by OnePlus.

Prior to the global launch event, OnePlus revealed that the OnePlus 3 would have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage.

The OnePlus 3T stays true to our Never Settle approach. Impressive specs mean nothing if you don’t have a great experience every time you pick up your phone. The OnePlus 3T delivers the best user experience, thanks to the latest hardware upgrades and carefully tested software enhancements. It was developed with care, craftsmanship and in collaboration with our community.

The goal of our software was to make the experiences you love faster and smoother. To us, speed adds more value than a bundle of apps you don’t really want. Whether you’re downloading a movie, playing a game or sharing a photo on social media, everything is fast and smooth.To make OxygenOS even faster, we taught the OnePlus 6 to render what’s on the screen and nothing more. This saves processing power usually wasted on background images hidden behind search bars and invisible menus. As a result, apps speed up and load times are shorter than ever.

7 Style Tricks That Will INSTANTLY Improve Your Style

1.Unbutton One More Button

Too many guy wear shirt and polo’s in a constricting way. That’s not where you want to be, you want to be known as that cool, relaxed and sexy guy. My rule of thumb is unbutton 2 or 3 buttons, any more and you’re running the risk of looking like a douche bag .

2.Roll Up Sleeves On Short Sleeve Shirts

If you guys may have noticed, the 90’s look is very trendy right now and those short sleeves shirts are in. However, if you ever bought one, you probably know that the sleeves fit horrible. Even if you have big muscle, they never tend to fit right. But don’t worry, it’s just a simple fix, roll up your sleeves, not only does it make you look more stylish but it gives you extra tailoring for no-cost.

4.Change The Buttons On Your Shirt

Some companies will try to fool you with low-quality buttons because they focus more on the shirt than anything else. So, go to your local craft store and buy some quality buttons and just inter-change them! Those small details make the biggest difference.

5.Military Tuck

To look more sophisticated, instead of tucking your shirt in regularly, use the military tuck. All you have to do is take that excess fabric and fold it back as you tuck it in. It gives you a tailored look…for free.

6.Change Your Shoelaces

I love white sneakers. But one thing that sucks is after a few wears, they pick up every piece of dirt and  just make you look dirty. Wiping it down does help, laces are much harder to clean and still make you look dirty as well. Simply, just buy brand new laces and that small adjustment will make the biggest difference as picture above.
