Try these new coffee flavours, brewing methods and beauty uses

Kopi, kopi-O, kopi kosong, kopi gao, kopi siew dai. Are you familiar with these local coffee terms? Do you struggle or rattle off these kopi terms with ease when making your order? Some of us may be more attuned to terms commonly used by big coffee chains switching from espresso, macchiato, ristretto, Americano, café latte, cappuccino, flat white, to affogato easily whatever catches our fancy that day. Ah, those pre-covid days.

Now that we are primarily working from home, where a decent cuppa may not be as easily available as to when we were based in the office, we can only rely on our own brews. If you, like me, have tried every brand available at our local supermarkets and still find none that you fancy; my fellow coffee lover, this article’s for you!

Did you know that 1 October has been marked as International Coffee Day? Started in Milan 2015 by the International Coffee Organisation (ICO), this day aims to recognize the efforts of coffee farmers across the world, whose livelihood depends on the crop. From its antioxidant properties, health and beauty benefits to its reputation as a pre-workout performance enhancer, as well as its multipurpose uses as body scrub and fertilizer for your plants, the reasons to celebrate an aromatic cup of java are aplenty.

Now’s the time to elevate your coffee drinking experience to new heights! We have round-up a dizzying array of coffee makers, coffee beans from instant form, java beans, coffee powder, pods, bags to decaffeinated and health-boosting coffee. There’s something for those who are new to coffee, coffee connoisseurs, and anyone in between.

Happy shopping and cheers to International Coffee Day!
