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 reviewGreat trial, and they even gave an extra bag of coffee DURING THE FREE TRIAL!
I love the coffee beans roasted by Yasumi coffee. Great taste and quality.
Coffee is freshly roasted and I always receive them very swiftly! Appreciate the friendly and responsive customer support as well :) Very honest, local roasters!
First Time experience with coffee beans from Yasumi and will never go back to the previous brand of coffee. Yasumi all the way!!!
Coffee smells is good and aromatic. Even though I left it quite long but the coffee smells still lingers l.
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!
Completely hooked! One of my joys now is to look forward to my coffee delivery and indulged in that addictive aroma. The coffee bean are roasted to perfection. No any other coffee bean come close.
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.
Very quick response to my question that is accurately and clearly explained. The professionally designed online platform is customer centric and paid attention to details. I hope the coffee I’ll be receiving will be as good if not exceed my expectations. Pretty sure it will. Looking forward to my caffeine fix soon! Yes! Got my coffee earlier than expected. Got my caffeine fixed. Love the taste and can’t ask for more.
Been a monthly subscriber to Yasukuni coffee for nearly a year - love their coffee and prices as well as wonderful customer service - always throwing in some perks and giveaways. It is also super flexible to change your roasting date if you are away.
Great coffee and service! Flexible coffee subscriptions and their Coffee Tour lets you try many different types of beans every order
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.
Good coffee provider. Have ordered a subscription for quite a long time and they deliver in a timely manner. The quality of the coffee is really good too.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
Had some trouble with my mailing address and customer support was very patient and responsive
Tried out Yasumi coffee and tbh was pleasantly surprised! will continue this service, thumbs up!!
Great coffee subscription service and very fuss-free. The beans they use are freshly roasted :)
Tried the Brazil coffee. Great nutty taste and smell. Received on same day of the roast too. Fast delivery
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.
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!
Finally order my first trial coffee from Yasumi. The moment I open the package . The coffee smells so good, love the fruity taste
Love the coffee, always flexible to change the coffee flavour and comes in time!
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👍🏻
Subscribed to their weekly coffee beans. Beans are good, and overall a pleasant experience.
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
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.
Love the customer service from Yasumi. Have tried Brazil dark roast, Colombia and Nicaragua coffee beans. Enjoyed all 3 roasts very much. Yasumi coffee beans is of great quality. Amazing aromas!
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.
The trial pack is of course of great value and the experience of buying from Yasumi is seamless. The "Rwanda" washed coffee is a great filter roast.
Updated review on 18/4: The support team has reached promptly to explain the delayed shipment. Mentioned that my shipment was delayed because I placed an order after their roasting date, which I find the explanation satisfactory. And I received my subscription of coffee yesterday. It tasted great. Excellent service recovery team Yasumi 👌 Earlier review on 14/4: My subscription is due for renewal in 1 day but my earlier order hasn't been received despite placing an order 1 week ago. I don't like to be charged for a renewal product when my earlier product hasn't been shipped out and received. I will consider changing my review when the management looks into this. I have cancelled my earlier subscription.
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!
Tried almost all the different coffee origins available. Loved the Indonesian, Columbian and Ethiopian ones best. Delivery direct to mailbox has been flawless. Online platform for subscription changes and promo codes is very convenient. Started out wanting to get the free trial only but have been continually hooked onto their service!
Have been a long time fan and subscriber of Yasumi coffee. Took on their subscription plan since I begun my coffee journey at home and never had to look elsewhere. They offer a wide range of flavours and origins, you can also customize your grind size if required. Freshly roasted beans every Tues and delivered to your doorstep. Highly recommended for all coffee enthusiast out there!
