How it all began:

Common Man Coffee Roasters (CMCR) is a café concept and coffee roaster established in Singapore back in 2013, with the aim of championing specialty coffee throughout the region. The key partners are Five Senses Coffee Australia, and the Singapore based Spa Esprit Group.

Five Senses Coffee Australia bring almost 20 years of specialty coffee experience to the partnership by supplying CMCR with responsibly sourced, specialty grade, green beans along with invaluable IP for use in the roasting and wholesale arm of the business.

Spa Esprit Group (SEG) is behind a number of successful and creative beauty, lifestyle and F&B concepts including STRIP waxing, Browhaus, Tiong Bahru Bakery, Open Farm Community and many more. The group’s emphasis on quality, value and innovation contribute to the success of CMCR.

This convergence of knowledge, resources, skills, experience and passion has culminated in a thriving café, academy, roastery and wholesale business in Singapore, Malaysia and China.
