Caffeine Solutions x MILBOK - Kickstarting the Dirty Coffee Movement in Singapore

For all the attention we give beans, grinders, and espresso machines in specialty coffee, milk is often an overlooked key factor in coffee.

It affects consistency, sweetness, texture, latte art clarity—everything people see when they get their coffee, and everything they feel when they take the first sip. We use whatever’s available, whatever’s familiar, whatever’s “good enough.”

That changes now.

For years, Caffeine Solutions has focused on perfecting the espresso shot — the beans, the grinders, the machines. We've treated coffee as an ingredient to be optimized.

But here's the truth: 70-80% of café sales are milk-based drinks. Your customers aren't ordering straight espresso — they're ordering lattes, cappuccinos, flat whites. They're ordering beverages.

With MILBOK, Caffeine Solutions now addresses coffee as what it actually becomes in the cup: a complete beverage experience.

We've mastered the shot. Now we're mastering the drink.

From the Creators of the Original Dirty Coffee

This partnership marks the arrival of something Singapore hasn’t truly had at scale before: barista-approved, competition-inspired milk that’s designed specifically to push the boundaries of coffee in terms of creativity and consistency.


Why MILBOK, and why now?

MILBOK’s approach is fundamentally different from “premium milk” as we’ve known it.

Instead of adding stabilisers or chemicals, MILBOK’s flagship concept is processing-driven: concentrating milk to unlock sweetness and texture naturally—while still keeping it as a clean label. Using unique processes such as membrane filtration purification technology, which not only maintains nutritional content  but also removes bacteria and spores, effectively extending the shelf life of milk.

For cafés, this means:

  • More stable microfoam

  • Better latte art control

  • A richer, cleaner mouthfeel

  • A customer experience that’s immediately noticeable

  • An extended shelf stable life of up to approximately 3 months,
    between 2-25℃


Two products, two distinct roles

1) MILBOK Double Milk —
competition-inspired, signature-ready

This is where things get exciting.

MILBOK Double Milk is a concentrated milk — inspired by World Barista Champions freeze distilling milk to extract the purest state and form of milk, MILBOK is made by reducing water from 2 liters of milk into 1 litre, creating a milk that’s naturally sweeter and dramatically more visually expressive in a cup. 

It’s also clean label:

  • Only one ingredient: 100% cow’s milk

  • No additives, no preservatives

  • Longer shelf stability

Breaking it down to the numbers, it’s clear to see why Double Milk behaves the way it does:

In real café language, this just means that Double Milk is your:

  • Secret weapon for the perfect Dirty Coffee
    (hot espresso, cold milk layering done right)

  • Natural sweetness upgrade in signature coffees
    (Enhanced sweetness + body without syrups)

  • Stable base for seasonal beverages
    (Matcha, chocolate, chai, coffee cocktails) 

2) EISBAR BARISTA MILK —
your new optimised barista milk program

Think of Eisbär as your foundation: the milk you can standardise across your espresso menu for a consistent, high-performing service flow.  Through membrane filtration to concentrate pure milk, Eisbär has a higher protein and fat content compared to regular milk; making it a cleaner and more stable product to use.

The result is a product that creates exceptional microfoam and latte art-friendly texture—the kind of foam that stays glossy, cohesive, and stable through service, and through your customer’s drinking experience. A significantly higher protein content also promotes muscle recovery, 

As a business, if your goal is:

  • consistent lattes across multiple baristas

  • smoother training and SOPs

  • stable foam for dine-in and takeaway

Eisbär is definitely the daily milk for you. 


What this means for Singapore’s coffee scene

Singapore’s specialty scene is already strong—great roasters, sharp baristas, serious equipment.

What we haven’t had is a new milk category that can raise the ceiling on creativity without complicating operations.

MILBOK is shelf-stable unopened (with a long-life storage approach) and designed to make high-level milk beverages more repeatable in everyday cafés. 

In our view, this does three things for the industry:

  1. Upgrades the baseline — better milk drinks become the norm, not the exception

  2. Unlocks new menu formats — dirty coffees, layered textures, “milk-forward” signatures

  3. Pushes craft forward — more time refining recipes, less time fighting inconsistent foam


What’s next
(how to try MILBOK with Caffeine Solutions)

We’ll be rolling out MILBOK through tastings, café trials, and collaboration drops—starting with:

  • Side-by-side latte comparisons

  • Dirty coffee demos

  • Signature recipe playbooks (coffee + matcha + chocolate)

  • Barista training notes for dialing in texture and temperature

If you’re a café owner, barista or roaster — reach out to Caffeine Solutions.

This is milk, redefined.
