Coffee in Singapore


Coffee in Singapore holds a special place in the hearts of both locals and visitors. The city-state boasts a thriving coffee culture deeply rooted in its history. One of the most iconic coffee styles is “kopi,” a traditional Singaporean coffee brewed using a unique method where coffee beans are roasted with sugar and margarine, resulting in a rich, caramelized flavour.

Kopi can be enjoyed in various forms, such as “kopi-o” (black coffee), “kopi-c” (with evaporated milk), or “kopi-peng” (iced coffee). In recent years, Singapore has also seen a surge in specialty coffee shops and artisanal roasters, catering to a growing community of coffee enthusiasts. These cafes offer a wide range of coffee beans sourced from different regions worldwide and brew methods like pour-over, espresso, and cold brew, allowing patrons to explore the nuances of coffee flavours.

Whether you prefer a traditional kopi at a neighbourhood kopitiam or a meticulously crafted pour-over in a trendy café, Singapore offers a diverse and vibrant coffee scene that continues to evolve and delight coffee connoisseurs.
