Coffee Culture Surges Among Indian GenZ Consumers

Ah Seng (Hai Nam) Coffee has been serving traditional Hainan kopi and charcoal-grilled toast in Singapore for over 50 years, attracting food enthusiasts to its location in the Amoy Street Food Centre. The café is noted for its kaya-butter toast and popular French Toast, which sells out quickly. Meanwhile, at CES 2025 in Las Vegas, Gemilai showcased innovative coffee equipment, including the Gemilai Espresso semi-automatic machine, which received praise for its design and functionality, reflecting the growing strength of Chinese coffee technology. Additionally, Bialetti, an iconic Italian brand, has revolutionized coffee preparation since the 1930s with its Moka Express, now a staple in many Italian households. The rise of coffee culture is also evident in India, where Gen Z consumers are increasingly integrating coffee into their lifestyles, seeking quality experiences over mere consumption. This cultural shift signifies a broader trend in consumer preferences, blending tradition with modernity in the coffee industry.
