6. Zero-Waste Latte Art Throwdown
Presenting Singapore’s first Zero-Waste latte art throw-down in collaboration with Oatly is Common Man Coffee Roasters, with a competition that uses the more sustainable option of Oat Milk to create drinks.

It’ll be an entire event advocating for environmental awareness while having fun, so head down to find out more.
