Coffee and tea in Singapore: prices, brewing kits and freshness

Updated 4 November 2026

Coffee and tea in Singapore cost about S$9 for a capsule pack and up to S$130 for a brewer, while ground and drip coffee is about S$13 to S$26 a bag, approximately, according to sellers' websites, November 2026. To get offers for the amount and brand you want, describe it in a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Sizes differ between listings, so compare the price per gram or per serving before you choose.

Food and import rules

Coffee and tea are covered by Singapore's Food Regulations, which list tea, coffee and cocoa among the regulated foods. Imported coffee needs registration with the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) and English labelling, so ask any seller to confirm both before you buy an imported brand. Businesses selling food at retail need a licence, which the SFA sets out in its requirements.

Warranty on brewing machines

Brewing equipment is covered by the brand's warranty rather than the food rules. One brewer carries a 1-year limited warranty covering up to 225,000 ml of brewing, and another warranty covers manufacturing faults under normal use. Some commercial-use terms are shorter, such as a 3-month limit, so check whether the machine is for home or business use.

Heat, humidity and freshness

Singapore is hot and humid all year, with wet and dry seasons instead of winter, so there is no seasonal peak for coffee or tea. Humidity is the main threat to freshness, so keep beans and tea sealed in a cool, dry place and buy the amount you will use in a few weeks.

What to write in your request

Name the product (beans, ground coffee, capsules, instant, tea bags or loose leaf), the variety or roast, the brand if you have one, the quantity in grams or servings, and the brewing method (espresso, filter, French press or cold brew). Say whether it is a one-off or regular order, your delivery city and your budget. Freshness matters, so ask for the roast date.
