Good Coffee in Singapore?

[taxico]

it's located in queensway - it's in the heartlands near my wife's office. you can actually google for singapore coffee distributors/wholesalers as there are quite a few and they sell to walk-in customers. find one that is located close to you.

i don't buy a lot... about 250 grams of beans each time. some times less - if you're buying 100 grams i guess they would be okay, but something like 10 grams may subject you to nasty glares.

Lol 10 grams is barely enough for a cup. Yes I think they would think you are trying to be cute.

Ok will go around explore. Thanks

Vittoria coffee from Australia is pretty good. A few outlets lurking around the City and I think you can buy the beans there, too.

Getting a good coffee in Singapore is almost impossible.
I'm sorry to say this, but things are still not to the mark here.
I've tried many famous cafes and i can't get a decent one,
Even from those who had star baristas.


So i bought a manual roaster from Italy and a pile of coffee greens and do it myself. Viola! Taste like home finally!

Gastronomia does good coffee

Not you, katbh, but for qwe7410...

Why is my spidey sense going off here? Maybe because the domain is owned by someone in Panama, hosted in Texas, and has absolutely not a single reference to a physical or postal address in Malaysia?

It's comedy value reading the bullsh*t sales pitch!

The interesting thing is that she/he has been hanging around for a while, waiting to make this pitch.

Reason out this one.

1-2y ago there was a case where from 2 accounts (could be a single person) created I believe in 2006 or so (zero posts anyway) all the sudden this typical extremely sophisticated dialog was performed:

A1: I am looking for an application for my iPhone that can do oo-oo-a-a. Can anybody recommend something?

A2: (immediately after) I'm using the oo-oo-a-a (http://www.oo-oo-a-a.com) and it's very good. My friends use it oso and are happy.

Sadly ka-boom followed.

There's some decent coffee here but you're better off buying a burr grinder at your electronics shop of choice and an Aeropress and/or pourover on Amazon. With good beans and a bit of practice you can make coffee just as good as the star baristas for $0.50-1 a cup (depending on beans) instead of $8...

Or if espresso is your thing get a Nespresso. I had a Nespresso back in the States and personally prefer making my own coffee but your mileage may vary..

I have tried to buy a coffee at XXX (the website is www.XXX.com). They mentioned their coffee is organic coffee. The taste was really good and the price is very competitive. Initially I am curious on how to spot fake coffee luwak and after talking to them they send me the poo of the luwak as a sample as well to proof that their authentic.
Just share my thought as one of your option to get authentic kopi luwak

Sorry, a first time poster with this kind of story doesn't get to advertise.

How do you know the "poo" didn't come from the neighbor's cat?

And, I am always suspicious of websites that do not have a reference to an actual physical address...

Kopi luwak was originally supposed to be good because the cats selected the best wild beans on their own.

Of course these days the cats are force fed so now it's just way overpriced formerly poop covered coffee with an extra helping of animal cruelty.
