Blue Bottle Coffee Unveils Exclusive Coffee Workshops and Festive Merchandise in Singapore

Blue Bottle Coffee has announced the launch of exclusive coffee seminars and pour-over workshops in Singapore, alongside limited-edition merchandise for the year-end festive season. This initiative marks a significant expansion of Blue Bottle Coffee’s engagement with the Singaporean market, with the new offerings available at their retail concept at LUMINE Singapore, located in Raffles City Shopping Centre.

Immersive Coffee Experience with Experts

Running from 11 to 19 November 2024, Blue Bottle Coffee’s workshops cater to coffee enthusiasts eager to explore the art of pour-over brewing. Sessions will be led by Michael Phillips, Global Director of Coffee Culture, Benjamin Brewer, Senior Director of Global Coffee Experience, and Justin So, Café Trainer. These experts will guide participants through pour-over techniques and offer insights into the craftsmanship behind each cup of Blue Bottle Coffee.

Following a successful launch for media and coffee professionals, Blue Bottle is now opening these sessions to the public to introduce specialty coffee culture to a wider audience in Singapore. The workshops aim to enhance attendees’ understanding of Blue Bottle’s coffee philosophy and brewing methods.
