Promote sustainability by opting for direct trade and offering delicious specialty coffee made with super fresh beans.
With the opening of 40 Hands in October 2010, the beginnings of a coffee revolution started to brew.
Product of the combined talents of Harry Grover and the Spa Esprit Group, 40 Hands burst onto the scene as one of the very first coffee joints in Singapore to offer a taste of Third Wave Coffee.
Its mission: to set the benchmark for a new style of neighbourhood cafe, promote sustainability by opting for direct trade and offering delicious specialty coffee made with super fresh beans.
The cosy neighbourhood café soon won fans over, making quality Third Wave Coffee accessible, breathing new life into the once-quiet Yong Siak Street and beckoning the arrival of other hip new shops and cafés in Tiong Bahru.
Believing that it takes 40 hands to produce a single cup of coffee from bean to cup, Harry is a firm advocate of the specialty coffee movement, championing sustainability, coffee knowledge and appreciation.
Harry has since gone on to further his contribution to the industry, and local cafe scene, with the establishment of Common Man Coffee Roasters in 2013, which has enjoyed great success and growth across the region. It is however 40 that holds a very special place in his heart #itbeganatfortyhands.
