5 places to go in Singapore if you’re serious about coffee

Anyone who loves coffee and is extremely serious about it would tell you that the normal coffee chain’s cuppa Joe doesn’t quite cut it.

Coffee enthusiasts know that quality does not simply arise from a pretty presentation (although that certainly matters). True coffee aficionados will care about the whole experience of coffee; from bean origins, to the way the coffee is made, to the quality of the equipment.

These are establishments that offer coffee subscription services, and sell a variety of coffee equipment and products, to allow for a continuation of the curated coffee experience from the comfort of one’s own home.

Nylon Coffee Roasters

Relationships are the core of Nylon coffee’s story and philosophy. This is clearly carried through with their origin trips to build stronger ties with their workers and partners every year. With an emphasis on transparency along the coffee chain, they reveal where each blend is sourced from, the regions in which the beans are cultivated, the conditions in which the coffee seeds are processed, and the altitude at which they are grown.

This plethora of information comes with the express purpose of highlighting that origins and seasonality of bean growth and harvest can affect the taste of the coffee itself. Their rotating menu and filter coffee subscription service surely work to showcase this fact.

For the circuit breaker period, Nylon coffee also released two brewing guides on their IGTV in which they featured a few of their coffee products and how to use them.

Kurasu

Let’s switch this up a little and talk about Japanese specialty coffee. From a homeware store selling Japanese crafted home products, this establishment, founded by former Goldman Sachs banker, Yozo Otsuki, became an international coffee business with a focus on Japanese crafted coffee and equipment. They now have 25 branches all over the world.

With a claim that Japanese mentality and care toward the art of coffee matches no other, Kurasu specialises in the Japanese way of coffee. Their beans are roasted in Japan by artisan roasters, and they sell specially design coffee equipment that bear the signature clean and minimalist style.

PPP Coffee’s philosophy of “connecting people with coffee” comes as no surprise given its extensive and meticulous effort in providing information and education about coffee to Singapore and Malaysia. PPP Coffee offers an immersive experience in coffee.

From the coffee itself, to equipment, to ingredients, to origin information, to subscriptions, to recipes, to posters and books, PPP Coffee seems to truly encompass what coffee culture. One can even gain certification in various coffee skills by the Specialty Coffee Association by taking one of PPP’s courses.
