The r/pourover Thai Roaster Shortlist: A CoE Number One, Two Champions, One Warning
10 sourcesAI-written, may contain mistakes.
A Thai enthusiast who rates Nana, Ristr8to and Ministry of Roasters but finds Hillkoff flat asked r/pourover for affordable local roasters. The replies run from a Cup of Excellence number one and two competition roasteries to Shopee-only light roasts near 1 baht a gram — plus one brand regulars say to skip.
Quotes
Quotes“If you can order through Shopee, I’d highly recommend NORA Coffee Roasters and wonderroom.bkk. Very reasonably priced and quite lightly roasted compared to a majority of other roasters in Thailand. Paga is another fantastic roaster but a lot more expensive.”
“Graph is affordable, but i cant recommend it. I tied 3-4 different beans and they were all bad”
“For cheapie (1B / gram i.e. 1$ / 1lb) my go-to is The Flavors Coffee Roaster. They usually have ~500B/500g light roast offerings in their rotation all around though sometimes the roast is a bit overdeveloped to my taste.”
“if you want to order directly, Mister Lee's. massive range and great price and they do all the roasting themselves with years of experience!”
Facts
FactsThe cheap tier runs near 1 baht a gram — The Flavors Coffee Roaster in Bang Phli keeps roughly 500 THB / 500 g light roasts in rotation (
roastery) — about US$2.99 per 100 g at 33.43 THB/USD — and Bati Coffee Roasters sells its Thai-Arabica blends in the same cheap, Shopee-and-Lazada-only tier (
Bati).A Cup of Excellence number one is on the list — Coffee De Hmong — spelled "Coffee de Mhong" in the thread — took rank #1 at Cup of Excellence Thailand 2026, its Honey Gesha from Nan scoring 90.50 and topping 30 winning lots (
CoE Thailand 2026,
Perfect Daily Grind).
Half the list has no website at all — NORA, Bati, FMC (Feast Monday Coffee) and Soft Coffee sell through Shopee, Lazada or Facebook only (
NORA on Shopee), while Nana, Ministry of Roasters, Akha Ama, Brave, Mister Lee's, Preda Roasting House and Hillkoff run their own stores (
Mister Lee's).
