KaffeBox is a coffee subscription that sends the best specialty coffee from Scandinavia’s top micro-roasteries.

KaffeBox-July-2016-Open

Each month, a different type of coffee is sent from a different roaster, allowing subscribers to sample a wide variety of beans from top roasters in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark.

Coffee is never more than than a day or two post-roast when it’s sent, and shipments to the US take approximately 4-8 days to arrive.

This month, I received beans from Norð in Oslo, Norway. “Norð consists of a handful of coffee shops, a coffee roastery, a bakery and a restaurant with a cocktail bar.” They roast green coffee from some of the world’s best producers, and they source their beans directly from farms whenever possible.

Edgar Nûnez (250 g.)- kr 118,00 (approximately $13.75 USD)

Edgar Nûnez has been growing coffee in Huila, Colombia since 2010. These beans were harvested in November 2015 at 1800-2000 MASL and then washed.

They have a taste profile that includes “dark berries, vanilla and clementine, spicy scent of almond and aftertaste of ripe blackberries.”

Gichatahini Kenya (250 g.)

(Note: I couldn’t find this particular coffee for sale on the Norð website.)

These beans were grown and processed in Nyeri, Central Kenya by Co-Operative Production. The co-operative uses sustainable and responsible farming principles, is fair-trade certified, and is currently pursuing Utz Kapeh Certification.

These beans have aromas “of rosehip and blackberries. Flavors of red currants and jasmine [with a] lingering floral aftertaste.” They were harvested in November/December 2015 and washed.

KaffeBox-July-2016-Cup

As always with KaffeBox, I’m really impressed with the coffees included in this month’s box. Both are excellent!

Verdict: I love coffee and I enjoy discovering new roasters, so I have a lot of fun with KaffeBox. This month, I received 500 g. of coffee, which costs 279 Norwegian krone per month. In USD, that comes to about $34. While I could certainly find great beans for less here in the US, I think KaffeBox offers a unique opportunity to sample high-quality beans from Scandinavia. Every shipment inspires me to learn a little bit more about Scandinavian culture and geography, and I’m also regularly impressed by the design and packaging of the coffee I receive. (It’s true that Scandinavian design is impeccable!)
