Drip bags emerge as the top choice for those seeking a balance of convenience, quality, and sustainability, offering a superior coffee experience compared to instant and freeze-dried coffee.
Drip Bags: 5/5 Drip bags contain freshly ground coffee, allowing hot water to extract the coffee's full range of flavors, resulting in a richer, more nuanced cup. The slow extraction process enhances the coffee's natural sweetness and acidity.
Instant Coffee: 2/5 Instant coffee often lacks flavor complexity and aroma due to the high-temperature processes used to create it. This results in a more uniform and less vibrant taste.
Freeze-Dried Coffee: 3/5 Freeze-dried coffee retains more flavor than instant coffee due to the low-temperature drying process, but it still cannot match the depth and complexity of drip bag coffee.
Drip Bags: 5/5 Drip bags are packed with freshly ground coffee, maintaining a higher level of freshness. The use of high-quality, specialty-grade beans ensures premium quality.
Instant Coffee: 2/5 Instant coffee often uses lower quality beans and undergoes processes that diminish the coffee's original qualities, leading to a stale taste over time.
Freeze-Dried Coffee: 3/5 Freeze-dried coffee retains more flavor than instant coffee, but the significant processing impacts its freshness and overall quality. The equipment for producing high quality freeze-dried coffee is also not common accessible in Singapore.
This means your freeze-dried coffee could have been mass produced by OEM factories in China and the shipping and production time might impact the freshness of the coffee.
Drip Bags: 4/5 Drip bags are easy to use, requiring no additional equipment beyond a kettle and a cup. They offer a quality cup of coffee with minimal fuss, though slightly more effort than instant coffee.
Instant Coffee: 5/5 Instant coffee is extremely convenient—just add hot water and stir. This simplicity is its greatest advantage for those with busy lifestyles.
Freeze-Dried Coffee: 5/5 Freeze-dried coffee matches instant coffee in convenience, offering a quick preparation method with just hot water and stirring.
Drip Bags: 5/5 Drip bags are highly portable, individually packaged for freshness, and ideal for travel, camping, or office use. Their compact design makes them easy to pack and use anywhere with access to hot water.
Instant Coffee: 5/5 Instant coffee is also highly portable, with single-serve packets that are lightweight and compact. It’s perfect for quick caffeine fixes on the go.
Freeze-Dried Coffee: 5/5 Freeze-dried coffee is equally portable, offering the same single-serve convenience as instant coffee, making it a suitable option for travel and outdoor activities.
Drip Bags: 5/5 Drip bags offer control over the brewing process, allowing adjustments to water temperature and pour rate for a personalized coffee experience. This customization helps achieve optimal flavor extraction.
Instant Coffee: 1/5 Instant coffee offers little to no control over the brewing process. The pre-brewed and pre-measured coffee limits customization and fine-tuning.
Freeze-Dried Coffee: 1/5 Freeze-dried coffee also lacks control over brewing variables, offering the same limitations as instant coffee in terms of customization.
Drip Bags: 4/5 Many drip bags are made with biodegradable materials and the grounds can be composted, reducing waste. Companies are also moving towards sustainable practices and eco-friendly packaging.
Instant Coffee: 2/5 Instant coffee packaging often includes non-recyclable materials, contributing to environmental waste. The production process is energy-intensive, making it less sustainable.
Freeze-Dried Coffee: 3/5 Freeze-dried coffee packaging can also be non-recyclable, though it is generally less wasteful than instant coffee. The freeze-drying process is more energy-efficient than spray drying but still not as eco-friendly as drip bags.

Just left us a
star reviewCoffee with origins and no regrets trying out! Grind is consistent, the fragrant and beans are all fresh!
I bought their 250ml morning cup a few months ago. It is not worth the price. When it arrived, I could tell the quality wasn’t great. Coffee stains cannot be washed off or removed, and it looks terrible just after 1 month of usage. I’m very disappointed with the product.
Tried out Yasumi coffee and tbh was pleasantly surprised! will continue this service, thumbs up!!
The delivery was fast. The beans was freshly roasted and the quality of the beans was good. I also received a free sample bag of coffee which i really appreciated
First Time experience with coffee beans from Yasumi and will never go back to the previous brand of coffee. Yasumi all the way!!!
We enjoy the latte so much brew with yasumi Colombia bean! After a trial I've decided to keep the subscription and receive the fresh high quality coffee bean regularly.
Got an extra 60g of coffee in the trial subscription to try out. Can’t wait to try out the different beans!
The ground coffee beans smelt so good when they arrived, freshly roasted before delivery for all orders! They make it so easy for everyone to enjoy (even beginners like me without fancy equipment). I got mine in medium grind for pour overs, no extra charge~ The coffee aroma is so nice, with some sweet nutty notes. With its richness and low acidity, it’s perfect for my morning lattes! I’m really enjoying them! The price point is really good too and freshly roasted?! Definitely worth re-ordering!
I really love how Yasumi makes it super easy for us customers to buy things! Their website is so easy to navigate, and they always give clear descriptions of their products. Plus, it's awesome that they often throw in discount codes for our next order or purchase. It's like getting a little treat every time we shop with them!
bought the beans as a gift and I was told they were great! made a repeat purchase to try the others and they really loved those too. Yasumi offers a decent variety to try and I think the price point is really great for what you're getting.
Had some trouble with my mailing address and customer support was very patient and responsive
Subscribed to their weekly coffee beans. Beans are good, and overall a pleasant experience.
Got the light roast, high acidity beans. Well suited to my liking! Can't wait for the next bag! Subscription was fast, love the extra goodies that came along with it like the flavor profile card and the coffee flavor wheel!
I've tried different coffee subscription services before, and Yasumi is the best I've used. I make espressos at home, and their beans are excellent. I've had to ask for help with my subscription before and they were always very helpful and patient.
Coffee subscription is affordable and convenient. Got single origin beans from Rwanda and tasting notes were true to description. Method of brewing: v60. Recommended to try.
Great coffee and customer service. They have a good selection of coffee as well.
Fuss-free coffee subscription! Love that I can easily switch up my beans, its grind, the schedule of roast and delivery. Most importantly, I’m pleased with the aroma and taste of the beans I got!
Great coffee subscription service and very fuss-free. The beans they use are freshly roasted :)
One of my favourite coffee subscription services in Singapore: user-friendly interface, great rewards for continued subscription, and most important of all, I enjoy the beans!
Indonesian coffee was light roasted and flavourful. Yasumi has varied coffee bean varieties to suit different tastes. Subscription model is convenient and has a lot of discount perks for regulars.
This is a great service. I love going to my mailbox and finding a package from Yasumi. I usually can’t wait to open it up and get a sniff of those freshly roasted beans. It’s a good price for this great quality, and I’m happy to feed my caffeine addiction with such yummy coffee.
I like how Yasumi makes it easy for the customer to make a purchase and understand the product with its user friendly interface and clear product description. it also help that they usually give some discount code to offset next subscribed order / purchase!
Coffee is freshly roasted and I always receive them very swiftly! Appreciate the friendly and responsive customer support as well :) Very honest, local roasters!
The ease of coffee subscription cannot get any easier and fuss free. Not to mention the coffee taste superb. The coffee packet is almost always empty.
Just brewed a cup of Tropic Daydream. Wonderful blend, so delicious. Right amount of acidity and body. Great customer service and responds to email timely. Thanks for the rebates as well.
I ordered a trial subscription. The package came fast and the beans were well packed (despite being unregistered mail). The additional 60g X'mas sample was a nice surprise as it was meant to be a 120g trial and I actually really liked it. Usually do pourover or espresso at home with a hand grinder.
Love the coffee, always flexible to change the coffee flavour and comes in time!
Love the freshly roasted coffee beans and warm customer service! Recommend to try!
The subscription service is fuss-free and you can easily change your next delivery date/beans via the website. No need for multiple emails back and forth and efficiency of updating the notice is great.
I started with the free trial and got hooked! Already tried 3 of 6 of their coffee and 4th one awaiting to be delivered. Beans are well roasted, flavourful and fresh.
I do really love the YASUMI Coffee! It brings much much convenient for me, I have an espresso machine at home, so I could make a great cup of coffee everyday. Fresh grind the whole bean, fresh brew the double shot, fresh steam the milk, and then, a fresh cup of specialty coffee. I have order with YASUMI coffee since last year, which Im really happy with the fresh whole bean which deliver to my mail box everytime! and the teams are so cute that everytime will send you an email to inform you that your coffee is going to roast, going to deliver. And the other thing I like YASUMI is becuz they are very flexible which I could skip the slot when I need to travel. Appreciate a lot!
Great coffee and service! Flexible coffee subscriptions and their Coffee Tour lets you try many different types of beans every order
Chanced upon Yasumi on Instagram and decided to give them a try — was pleasantly surprised by an extra sample bag given and also the cards describing the coffee's tasting notes and processing description etc. Will definitely be repurchasing :)
A great coffee subscription service that makes my daily coffee a breeze - particularly love the ability to delay a delivery by a week or two so I can finish my existing beans before new ones arrive!
Great trial, and they even gave an extra bag of coffee DURING THE FREE TRIAL!
Coffee smells is good and aromatic. Even though I left it quite long but the coffee smells still lingers l.
Decided to try Yasumi as i cam across their page, got a free bag of beans to try and i tried it today. Pretty convinced to continue my subscription with them👍🏻
I love the coffee beans roasted by Yasumi coffee. Great taste and quality.
Excellent specialty coffee roaster in Singapore at affordable prices. I'm always looking forward to my weekly delivery from Yasumi! The staff here are also really helpful and supportive!
