The cold brew format is the modern coffee specialty that’s matured significantly across Singapore’s cafe scene. Different from the iced coffee (where hot espresso gets diluted over ice — which can result in over-extraction bitterness), the cold brew is brewed cold-water-only for 12-24 hours to produce the proper smooth-low-acid coffee concentrate.
The cold brew preparation runs:
- Coarse-ground coffee (the proper grind for cold extraction)
- Cold or room-temperature water (no heat applied)
- 12-24 hour steeping in the cold brew vessel (Toddy, Hario, Filtron, etc.)
- Slow filtration through the fine mesh
- Concentrate that can be served straight, diluted with water, or used in milk drinks
The cold brew concentrate has the distinctly different flavour profile from hot-brewed coffee:
- Lower acidity (the cold extraction doesn’t pull as many acids)
- Sweeter natural flavour (the slow extraction emphasises sweetness)
- Smoother mouthfeel
- Less bitterness even with stronger coffee strength
The cold brew honey latte adds honey + milk to the cold brew base. Different from the standard iced latte (espresso + cold milk + ice), the cold brew latte uses the cold brew concentrate directly with cold milk and honey — producing the proper smooth-creamy-sweet cold coffee drink.
The cold brew americano is the simpler format. Cold brew concentrate + cold water + ice — the proper “iced black coffee” for the cold brew purist. The clean flavour highlights the coffee’s natural notes without milk or sweetener distraction.
At the 1-for-1 deal price of $6 (effectively $3 each), this is excellent value for specialty cafe cold brew. Standard cafe cold brew drinks run $6-9 each; the 1-for-1 deal cuts the per-drink pricing to the budget kopi tiam range.
The 1-for-1 deal mechanisms across Singapore cafes include:
- Burpple Beyond deals
- The Entertainer Singapore subscription
- Eatigo time-based discounts
- Individual cafe loyalty cards
- Credit card partnerships (HSBC Everyday Plus, SCB Unlimited Cashback, etc.)
The combination of Singapore’s deep cafe culture + the multiple 1-for-1 deal apps creates the proper specialty coffee access at sustainable pricing across multiple weekly visits.
Overall: 4.6 / 5. 😋👍🏼 Excellent cold brew pair at 1-for-1 deal pricing — would re-visit.
