Compound Coffee Co. is a specialty coffee roaster and coffee lab on Kaki Bukit Road in Bedok, Singapore. It holds a 4.9 Google rating from 488 reviews, and the website describes hands-on workshops in roasting, brewing and tasting, team bonding sessions, coffee supplies and seasonal single-origin beans.
Specialty roasters that run workshops usually sell their beans alongside classes, so a visit can be as much about learning as drinking coffee. Cupping, where beans are tasted side by side, is a good way to notice differences between origins and roast levels. Workshop places tend to fill up on weekends, so booking ahead is sensible. Ask staff which bean suits your taste, since a light roast and a dark roast can taste very different.
It is a useful place to learn about coffee and take a bag of beans home, in the Kaki Bukit area of Bedok.
