Coffee School
Welcome to Nordic Brew Lab's Coffee School, the ultimate free resource for anyone wanting to level up their home coffee game. Whether you're just discovering specialty coffee, perfecting your pour-over technique, or curious why fresh isn't always best, our in-depth guides break it all down step-by-step.
Learn proven brew recipes, essential brewing tips, and must-have gear you can't skip. Start brewing like a pro today, no barista training required!
And you're not learning from a faceless brand, every guide here is written by us, Håkan and Pierre. Between us we've been head baristas, built our own coffee-training businesses, and served two years on the board of SCA Sweden (the Specialty Coffee Association) as members and coordinators. We're repeat finalists in the Swedish Barista Championship and Brewers Cup - Håkan placed 3rd in this year's Brewers Cup 2026 and is a multiple-time winner of Sweden's gastronomy award. So when we tell you a grind setting, brew recipe, or water ratio works, it's because we've tested it competitively and behind the bar, thousands of cups over.
