New milk and new opening hours

Tuesday, May 1st, 2012

Summer is coming up. Therefore we have changed to our summer opening hours.

Monday to Friday: 8.30 – 18.00

Saturday & Sunday: 11.00 – 17.00

Milk for the Mozarella

We have also finally managed to get our hands on organic whole milk from Røros Meieriet.

The milk is a bit less sweet, more creamy and has a much better aftertaste than the old conventional TINE milk. Since the milk is from a very small dairy, the milk will for sure vary more in quality as opposed to milk from TINE who blends good and poor quality together to make a homogenous product. Still, we believe organic milk is better both from a taste perspective as well as from a health perspective.

Since TINE is unwilling to provide us with organic whole milk, we have decided not to buy any milk from them again. We will therefore only be offering whole milk from Røros Meieriet as they only make whole milk and extra light milk. Unfortunately the extra light milk is not suited for coffee drinks as it foams poorly and does not taste according to our standards.

By changing milk we had to adjust the prices slightly as the milk is almost double the price of TINE milk. But we believe it is worth every krone!

New Brew Bar

Sunday, November 27th, 2011

Due to limited capacity during weekends we have decided to open up our cupping room during Saturdays and Sundays for brewing black coffee to our guests. This way we are able to serve those of you who only want a black coffee while visiting our store. We know how frustrating it is to stand in line sometimes and hopefully our cupping room brew bar will help things move a bit quicker.


The brew bar will only be open during weekends and we will be serving our full Aeropress menu. In addition you will be able to pay for whole bean coffee, books, etc. Of course we invite you also to come and hang out to ask us questions. The Cupping room was made to teach our customers about coffee, and most likely the person working there will have time to answer and help you become a better home barista.

If you want your cappuccino and latte, you still need to order them in our espresso bar, but hopefully the line will not be as long as before.

The Brew bar will be open for the first time on Saturday the  3rd and Sunday the 4th of December from around 12 o’clock. We will be serving some new lots from both the Caballero family and a new Bourbon from Nacimiento.

Soy milk

Monday, May 2nd, 2011

We have once again tasted soy milk in our coffees and have come to the conclusion to stop offering soy milk in our drinks.

The main reason for this is that we really don’t like the flavour of it. It is very difficult to get a nice coffee flavour in soy milk and the better ones are too sweet and grainy on the palate.

Another very good reason to stop offering soy milk is that a lot of soy milk comes from genetically modified (GMO) soy beans. We are fully against GMO as it can cause biological damage not only to soy beans but also to other plants as cross pollination is impossible to control.  To understand more about how GMO works, just watch the documentary films ” The Future of food” and “Food INC”.
A healthy alternative to soy based drinks is black coffee. We prepare all our coffees to order on an Aeropress in our bar. It is not only healthy, but also very tasty.

Iced coffee and summer opening hours

Saturday, April 30th, 2011

Summer is here and therefore we have extended our opening hours to the following:

Monday to Friday: 8.30 – 18.00
Saturday and Sunday: 11.00 – 17.00

We have put our iced coffees on the menu. That means you can now have an improved version of our classic TW Freddo and the TW Cappuccino Al Freddo.

We have also developed a TW 0% Irish Coffee. It is basically a cold coffee served on ice with delicious cold milk foam on top. Tastes like an Irish coffee but there is no alcohol involved.

More drinks to be launched soon.
