For those who take coffee as seriously as we do
Two competition baristas, a curated shelf of gear we'd actually use, and straight
answers on what's right for you. No guesswork.
We're Håkan and Pierre, and we got tired of watching people guess.
Between us there's more than 15 years behind the bar. We've worked as head baristas in
some of the coffee shops people fly in to visit, competed on the national stage more
times than we can count, and spent years teaching coffee, to home brewers and to cafés.
So here's the thing that kept bugging us.
Every week, someone would spend real money on a grinder, a dripper, a kettle - and end up
with kit that didn't suit their coffee, their kitchen, or the way they actually brew. Not
because they did anything wrong. Because nobody sat down and helped them choose. The shops
sold boxes. Nobody sold guidance.
That's the whole reason Nordic Brew Lab exists.

We tell you this for one reason: when you ask us which grinder, which dripper, which coffee - the answer is coming from people who've been judged on exactly that, at the highest level in the country.
