Review Body: Initially intimidating because I'm a coffee noob. But Odelia and Wei Qi have done nothing but take care of me. Through patient explanations, I couldn't ask for a warmer welcome into the world of coffee. P.S Try to Chelbesa latte if you're a newbie!

Review Body: A wonderful and personal coffee workshop! I attended a coffee workshop led by Mr. Izz, which was both highly informative and engaging. A key highlight was his expert commentary on understanding the different vessels (like pour-overs, aeropress and French presses, etc.) for brewing and how they uniquely influence the coffee's flavor. We got to taste several interesting and distinct coffee beans, which really brought the lessons to life. The workshop felt very personal and hands-on, with direct guidance throughout. The environment was casually comfortable, yet it was fully equipped with everything needed for a deep dive into coffee. Highly recommend for anyone looking to learn in a relaxed but professional setting!

Review Body: Attended the coffee roasting session with my hubby as part of his birthday celebration! Odelia kindly accommodated my last minute reservation and even prepared a personalised sticker label to commemorate our experience. We learnt a lot on the terminologies and processes of roasting, as well as having hands on experience of roasting our own beans! Izz, our instructor, was also very professional in his delivery of the course and made the session fun for us! Many thanks to Compound Coffee for the excellent experience! 👍🏻

Review Body: Booked a private coffee roasting workshop with Compound Coffee Co. for my husband’s birthday and we had the loveliest experience! Ayden conducted the workshop perfectly - even a coffee amateur like me enjoyed the workshop thoroughly. My husband learnt a lot from this workshop and we will definitely recommend this to folks who would like to try roasting their own coffee. A special shoutout to the Seek Sophie team for also making this celebration extra special with their little surprise!
