Forget about the 3-in-1 coffee. Because nothing beats freshly-roasted coffee that goes into a cup or a bag. So, whether you want to enjoy a cuppa or bring home a bag (or a few of them), here are the Top 10 Coffee Roasters in Singapore.
1) Five Oars Coffee Roasters
Great coffee matters a lot at Five Oars, where they pride themselves in using only the best quality beans possible. They keep their menu simple, offering familiar favourites from black to white, espresso and filter coffee. And depending on your preference, you can choose Five Oars’ house blends: Cypress (toffee & chocolate) or Birch (blueberry + bergamot). Add-ons are also available at a fraction of the price such as soy and oat milk. Alternatively, you can have freshly roasted coffee beans delivered straight to your doorstep.

3) Homeground Coffee Roasters
Operating since 2017, Homeground offers a wide range of coffee that comes with different taste characteristics.

You can also sign up for their monthly coffee subscription, where you have the choice of filter ($24.60+) or espresso ($34+).
