Pay for coffee by the minute

Buying a cuppa and trying to nurse it for as long as possible might be a thing of the past with Coffeemin, a new cafe opening today at The Central mall in Clarke Quay.

Calling itself a treehouse for adults, it charges customers for the time they spend there, instead of just food and drinks – a nifty solution to many an F&B owner’s woes about one-drink customers who just will not leave.

At Coffeemin, customers pay $6 to stay for the first hour and $1 for every 10 minutes after that.

The cafe is open daily from 11am to 10pm daily and $30 lets you stay there the whole day. There is free refillable Arabica coffee from a machine, as well as complimentary cookies and Wi-fi. Customers are allowed to bring their own meals as well.
