Most worth $$ specialty coffee beans for home!

If you’re a coffee lover that hates nespresso/starbucks, and loves trying out specialty coffee, let’s be friends.

I love buying bags of beans from specialty coffee places all over the world - from munich to paris to bali to korea, it’s my favourite thing to bring home. But Singapore’s specialty coffee options really hold their own well!

Today’s post is on VALUE FOR MONEY options that give you the most bang for your buck! (maybe if this goes well, we can do one on unique and favourite roasts!!!)

But here’s the criteria for what made the cut today:

✨ Around $60/kg (affordable by specialty coffee standards!)

✨ Med dark/dark roasts (most common preference)

✨ Not festive/small batch (so it’s easy to get everytime!)

Let’s go!

🛒Common Man

I usually drink either their CMCR or the 22 Martin! It’s consistent, they always give reasonably fresh roast dates, and it’s one of the most reasonably priced ones.

$59/kg ($51 if u do self-pickup on Grab, don’t say i never share)

🛒Tiong Hoe (from Fairprice finest)

Used to drink this many years back when they were $14/250g bag!!! But they increased to $16 now (a lil upsetting but not unreasonable heh) Very nutty without being over-powering. One of the top in terms of being a flavour packed dark roast that’s not just…dark for the sake of being dark (coughSTARBUCKScough)

🛒Alchemist

Dark Matter is a great consistent one! It’s their house blend. Even their festive roasts are good (sometimes heh)

This wins for having their outlets in CBD areas so its super easy to grab and go.

$34/500g (but once again!! 15% off if you grab selfpickup)

🛒Zero

Recently got this on Shopee during a sale w free delivery. Very reasonably priced and good enough! Won’t repurchase if i have access to the first 3 because while it’s okay, it doesn’t really stand out?

But i wont mind getting it in a pinch or on sale!
