Coffee in Singapore?

Visiting Singapore in March. Any suggestions for a good coffee shop - to drink, not to buy beans. When I last visited there the chains like Starbucks and Coffee Bean had proliferated.

Thanks

I used to live in Singapore,
You should try the local coffee

There is very nice coffee at:

Scrumptious!
200 Turf Club Road
Turf City

or if you are in Orchard Road

Deluxe Cafe
Orchard Road
Wisma Atria

Cheers

Re: Coffee in Singapore?

I have spent most of the past 12 months working up there and Indonesia. I was surprised to see that I could actually go without coffee. If i was really desperate for caffeine I would have a starbucks frappucino (iced drink). i think it was all the sugar that made it drinkable.

coffee up there is terrible. if you like milky drinks they all use UHT milk so you have a weird taste to start with. Alot of places seem to use the big super autos that are never set up properly. you see the odd La Marzocco linea at a starbucks, but they seem incapable of using them.

Indonesian coffee is even worst. we have a delonghi super auto at our office up there which is ok, but with UHT milk still tastes weird to me.
