FAQ
General
What is specialty coffee?
At Blueprint Beans, we use specialty grade Arabica beans. These coffees score 80 points or above on the 100-point scale used by the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA). This scale evaluates various aspects of the coffee, including its flavor, aroma, and overall quality. With specialty coffee, our aim is to ensure that each cup offers a distinct and enjoyable experience, reflecting the unique terroir of its origin.
Where do your coffee beans come from?
We roast beans that have been sourced from our coffee partners or directly from local farmers around the world. This direct relationship with growers ensures that we maintain a high standard of quality and sustainability, while also supporting the communities involved in coffee cultivation. Our diverse sourcing strategy allows us to offer a wide variety of unique flavours and profiles that reflect the rich coffee-growing regions we work with.
Where are your coffee beans roasted?
Our coffee beans are roasted right here in Singapore, where we pay meticulous attention to bringing out the best flavors in every batch. We also conduct cupping sessions as part of our commitment to maintaining consistent quality.
What is the best way to store my coffee beans?
You can keep your coffee in the bag we provided. Our bags are equipped with a two-way valve that allows the coffee to degas while preventing oxygen from entering. Alternatively, you can store them in an airtight container. Do remember to keep your coffee in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and strong odours.

Returns and Cancellations
Can I refund or cancel my order?
All our coffee is roasted to order, so we’re unable to accept cancellations or modifications once an order has been placed. We begin processing orders immediately to ensure prompt delivery of fresh coffee to our customers.
Please ensure your shipping details are correct at checkout, as we’re unable to cancel or refund orders delivered to an incorrect address provided by the customer. If you need assistance after placing your order, please reach out and we’ll do our best to help.
Do you accept returns?
Due to food safety and hygiene reasons, especially with coffee, we generally do not accept returns. Please ensure your order details are correct before placing your order.
