Rant, but not mine

This is a rant on CoffeeGeek from a fellow CGSG, Steve that speaks on behalf of us, the few of us in Singapore who have turned home baristi and/or home roasters overnight to combat the crappy coffee scene in Singapore. You want crapresso, Singapore has it at every corner.

    I agree. Most chains here hire ‘barista’ who are actually mostly just part time students not really passionate about coffee. Interestingly, Spinelli’s offer fresh locally roasted coffee, but most of the time, the barista doesn’t have the technique!

    Its only Wiener Kaffeehaus and Highlander coffee that I know of that serves good espresso. Though i once met a barista from Gloria Jeans who poured Latte’ Art. Quite a pleasant surprise, though their beans ain’t fresh..
