The beans, both Robusta and Arabica, are freshly roasted, grounded and brewed at Generation Coffee. Kenneth and partners were formerly trading coffee beans and started Generation Coffee stall just a month ago.
Brewing coffee with an espresso machine in a hawker centre was pioneered by Kopi More at Golden Mile hawker centre in 2017. The trend has since caught on and espresso coffee has become more common in Singapore hawker centres.
Kenneth said the vision of Generation Coffee is to bring different generations together with coffee. So there is unker kopi (Nanyang coffee), hipster coffee and kiddy blends like Babycino.
The kopi has nice body from the blended brew and also the evaporated milk. I don't recall any aroma (I wasn't too attentive). The taste is bitter-sourish with sweetness from milk. Caffeine kick wasn't jolting.
A nice cuppa though not quite a titillating delight yet. Kenneth say that they will constantly experiment with different blends, so I feel this new coffee joint is promising. Worth a try - a better bet than random generic kopi stalls that serve ashy concoctions nowadays.
