> Quick view: free walk-in entry · Thu 5 to Sun 8 Nov 2026, 10am-8pm · Sands Expo, Level 1, Hall C · 10 pieces of 24K gold worth $1,000 each in the Golden Bean Hunt · Trip.com vouchers at 10% off, one per purchase, no change · Cafe Hopping entries close 2 Nov.
Singapore Coffee Week is back for its third edition, organised by the Singapore Coffee Association. Entry costs nothing, and the exhibitor page lists 62 brands, from Suzuki Coffee, Tanamera and UCC to machine makers such as De'Longhi, Barsetto and Philips Baristina. For most visitors, the useful questions are what is really free and whether the vouchers save anything.
What you get for free
- Golden Bean Hunt: 10 pieces of 24K gold are up for grabs, worth $1,000 each.
- Spin & Win: complete selected activities for a chance to win coffee goodies and merchandise.
- Bean Discovery Bar: try coffee beans from different roasters.
- Interactive Coffee Map: trivia on coffee's history, including Singapore's own coffee heritage.
- Live competitions: the Singapore Coffee Roasting Team Championship and, on 5-6 November, the Singapore Fashion Drinks Competition.
- Cafe voting: pick up to three cafes for the Singapore People's Choice Cafe Award, online or at the event. Voting closes at 6pm on 8 November, and each person gets one ballot, verified by a Singapore mobile number.
Do the Trip.com vouchers save money?
| Pack | You pay | You receive | You save |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25 cash voucher | $22.50 | 2 x $10 + 1 x $5 | $2.50 |
| $50 cash voucher | $45 | 5 x $10 | $5 |
The saving is real, but the terms limit how you can spend it. Only one voucher works per transaction, and no change is given. A $40 bag of beans takes one $10 voucher, and you pay the other $30 yourself. To use the $50 pack fully, you need five separate purchases of at least $10.
The fine print
- Collect vouchers first. Show your Trip.com QR code at the organiser's booth to get physical vouchers. The QR code does not work at exhibitor booths, and only original physical vouchers are accepted.
- Vouchers cover participating exhibitors only. The Trip.com listing does not name them, so check for acceptance before you order.
- There is no way out. Bookings cannot be cancelled, and lost, damaged or unused vouchers are not replaced or refunded.
- The hunt rules are not out. On 2 November, the site had not published how or when the gold beans are hidden, or how winners claim them.
- Sip & Stamp rewards are reported, not official. The organiser's site names this digital stamp trail but does not print the reward tiers. EverydayOnSales reports one chance to win at 8 stamps and two at 15, with redemption closing at 6pm on 8 November. Confirm at the event.
If you did the Cafe Hopping Adventure
The Cafe Hopping Adventure ends on 2 November, and all entries must be submitted through the organiser's QR code by that date. Eight stickers qualify for the grand prize draw (a Barsetto coffee machine or $1,888 cash) and earn a Golden Bean Hunt hint. Hold on to any $5 sticker: it converts to a $5 cash voucher at the organiser's booth, to spend at the event from 5 to 8 November.
Tips
- Plan for small purchases. Vouchers suit a few $10-$20 items, such as drinks or a small bag of beans, better than one big buy.
- Check machine prices elsewhere first. The organiser prints no booth prices, so compare before buying anything big. Our coffee machine guide below is a starting point.
- Do not leave it to Sunday. Café voting and the reported Sip & Stamp redemption both close at 6pm on the last day, two hours before the event ends.
