SINGAPORE COOKING CLASS FIELD GUIDE
Roast Your Own Coffee in Singapore’s First Live Roastery
A 1.5-hour hands-on workshop at The Sundowner where you'll roast raw beans, brew your own cup and enjoy it with fresh bagels.
Roast Your Own Coffee in Singapore’s First Live Roastery.
At The Sundowner you step beyond the cafe counter into Singapore’s first live coffee roasting experience: a compact, 1.5-hour workshop that traces a cup from plant to pour in a desert-themed bar (or on the garden rooftop when space requires). Led by an in-house barista, the session is built for casual enthusiasts who want to watch, work and taste the craft of coffee firsthand.

Singapore’s first live coffee roasting experience
The Sundowner runs the city’s inaugural live roasting workshop — a short, focused introduction to coffee provenance and hands-on roasting designed for enthusiasts.
From green bean to cup
Participants see a live coffee plant, select raw beans, roast them over a fire, grind by hand and experiment with brewing methods such as pour‑over and the Moka pot — then taste the result.
A quirky desert-themed bar (or rooftop garden)
The workshop is staged in The Nomad’s Tent — The Sundowner’s desert-themed bar — or, when capacity dictates, on the garden rooftop; fresh bagels are served alongside your personal brew.
