Here is a very inspiring lecture by Pontus Dahlström done last weekend during the Nordic Barista Cup.
Pontus is one of the owners of MAAEMO in Oslo, which is a fantastic restaurant that focuses on local and seasonal food. They teamed up with us a while ago to develop their coffee service and are currently serving our Caballero coffee brewed with the traditional steeping method called kokekaffe.
A perfect example of how to lift the coffee service in a restaurant to become a great taste experience as well as a more profitable part of the dinner for MAAEMO.
We are so proud and very happy to have some new coffees for sale.
This time, the new crop from one of our all time favorites, Jobneel at Finca Nacimiento is finally in house and on the shelves.
We have bought 5 lots from him this year and the first release is a Bourbon picked on the 3rd of March. This coffee is so ripe and juicy that people think it is a Kenyan coffee. Loads of ripe cherry flavours. For more information on the coffee go here.
We are also thrilled to finally be able to sell some very special coffee from the Caballero family in Marcala, Honduras. They have several farms, so we decided to honor their name by calling the coffee “Caballero” as their family has been pioneering coffee in Honduras for over a century. We bought 7 different lots from the Caballeros this year, and first one for sale is the first picking from the farm Los Cipreses. For more info go here.
The third release this week is a coffee from one of the first farms we ever bought coffee from when we opened in 2007. Finca La Montañita is situated in the mountains of El Salvador. The Pacamara that we bought from Mr. Antonio René this year has a lot of crisp apple acidity and intense fruity flavors.

I have been working with Wilfa for a long time now to help them improve and develop some new coffee brewers. (To be launched at this years Nordic Barista Cup)
In this process we felt there needed to be a blog to celebrate the Nordic Coffee Culture.
Wilfa has managed to get a great team of Nordic coffee personalities together, and I am very happy to be a part of that team.
The blog not only describes coffee shops around the Nordic Countries, but will also feature brewing guides and articles, etc.
Today I finished an article about Coffee and Seasonality and I know the other contributors are working on some material to be posted soon. So, make sure you follow the Nordic Coffee Culture blog from now on.

Finally they have arrived.
We ordered a bunch of VST Precision Filter Baskets a while ago and they arrived this week. You can now buy them in our store or in our webshop.
We strongly recommend to use the new VST filterbaskets. Both the 18g basket and the 22g basket is great for our coffee.
The VST filters makes it a lot easier to extract the espresso properly which gives a lot more sweetness in the cup. They are also more or less identical to eachother which makes it easy to be more consistent when brewing on several groups at the same time.
Make sure they fit your machine. (Fits all La Marzocco and Synesso machines)

We have bought a very exciting coffee from El Salvador this year, from the farm Los Pirineos. Gilberto Baraona has competed with his coffees in the El Salvador Cup of Excellence for several years, and last year we bought a lot from his Las Palmas farm on the CoE auction. We are very proud to be able to sell his coffee this year as well. For more info on Gilberto and his coffee go here.
The coffee will be for sale from tomorrow (Thursday 14th of july) and will also be featured in our new espresso blend that we will start roasting tomorrow as well.
The TW espresso blend now consists of:
80 % Los Pirineos from El Salvador
20 % Tekangu from kenya.
