We got together to cup five different coffees from four different Swedish roasters.
The represented were:
Drop Coffee – Epiphany Muhirwa (Rwanda)
Drop Coffee – Ilomba (Tanzania)
Koppi – Sehe (Burundi)
Alkemisten, roasted by Sandby Kafferosteri – Singel (Ethiopia)
Love Coffee – Cafisur (Colombia)
Cupping method:
8,25g coffee for 150ml water
4 min brew time
Drop Coffee – Epiphany Muhirwa (Rwanda)
What we tasted: Sweet all the way through. Lemonade, lingonberries.
What the package said: Lingonberries and cacao butter.
Conclusion: This coffee is yum. Well balanced and full bodied. A must try.
Where to get it: Kaffemaskinen at Landsvägsgatan 15 here in Gothenburg or on their website.
Love Coffee – Cafisur (Colombia)
What we tasted: Milk chocolate, red currant.
What the package said: Cacao, cherries and blackberries.
Conclusion: It’s a well balanced sweet coffee with a hit of acid, but almost too balanced to stand out among the other coffees.
Where to get it: Not sold in Gothenburg. Check their website.
Drop Coffee – Ilomba (Tanzania)
What we tasted: Black currant, elderflower.
What the package said: White currant and elderflower.
Conclusion: We very much agreed with what the package says. When you realize that this coffee actually taste like elderflower, you can’t get it out of your head (in a good way).
Where to get it: Kaffemaskinen at Landsvägsgatan 15 here in Gothenburg or their website.
Alkemisten, roasted by Sandby Kafferosteri – Singel (Ethiopia)
What we tasted: Dill, citrus, burnt sugar, nutty.
What the package said: Citrus, lemon grass.
Conclusion: When we say dill we are not kidding, though it might have been our cupping method that enhanced the dill taste. In our opinion it is a bit too dark roasted. We will not buy this one again.
Where to get it: At Alkemisten.
Koppi – Sehe (Burundi)
What we tasted: Tomatoes, juicy, sweet.
What the package said: Darjeeling, black currants and sweet citrus.
Conclusion: This is a really good, light roasted coffee. It was used in the Polish Aeropress championship and we can definitely see why.
Where to get it: Unfortunately not sold in Gothenburg. Check their website.
