Blue Bottle Coffee has made its highly anticipated debut in Singapore!
The brand’s first retail store and exhibition have opened at the newly launched LUMINE Singapore global flagship in Raffles City Shopping Centre.
This gift shop and exhibition mark the beginning of Blue Bottle Coffee’s expansion into Singapore. Blue Bottle Coffee began in 2002 with a simple mission: share the joy of exceptional coffee. Founded by James Freeman in Oakland, California. Their passion lies in freshly roasted beans, expertly brewed to order, and sourced from the finest farms. Today, Blue Bottle has blossomed into a global network of cafes across the US and Asia. As a leader in specialty coffee, driven by their relentless pursuit of quality and commitment to environmental responsibility. The brand’s unique blend of Californian and Japanese influences has shaped their approach to coffee.
The limited-time special exhibition offers visitors a glimpse into Blue Bottle Coffee’s rich history from its California roots to its expansion into Japan and innovative approach to coffee brewing.
For coffee connoisseurs, this is a great chance to widen their exposure to traditional and theatrical brewing methods using tools like the Oji Water Dripper, Syphon, and Nel Drip. The Oji Water Dripper originates from Tokyo. This dripper produces a full-bodied, complex cup with a rich flavour profile. The slow, precise drip creates a coffee experience often compared to an alcoholic spirit.
The Syphon is crafted by HARIO. It requires precise heat manipulation to deliver a rounded and intricate flavour. This method also boasts a visually captivating brewing process. Finally, the Nel Drip, also crafted by HARIO, is closely associated with traditional Japanese coffee culture. Its slow-drip method and high coffee-to-water ratio result in a rich, transcendent cup of coffee.
Indulge in Blue Bottle’s renowned instant craft coffee and premium matcha. The gift shop features a curated selection of products, including the Craft Instant Espresso (S$24), New Orleans-Style Craft Instant Coffee Blend (S$24), Craft Matcha ($51), and exclusive Singapore Tote Bags (S$39).
Looking ahead, Blue Bottle Coffee’s debut retail concept and exhibition in Singapore serve as a platform to introduce the brand to the local market and engage with coffee enthusiasts. In the coming months, they plan to expand their offerings to include a wider range of merchandise, host workshops, and offer educational coffee sessions, providing consumers with a comprehensive Blue Bottle experience. We can’t wait!
