Espresso House

ABOUT US

The history of Espresso House dates back to 1996 when our very first coffee shop was opened by Charles and Elisabet Asker on Kyrkogatan in Lund. What started as a small café inspired by both the Italian coffee culture and the American café tradition, is today a leader in the Nordic region with over 460 * coffee shops, 6,000 baristas, and 100,000 visitors daily. In October 2018, Espresso House opened its first coffee shop in Hamburg, Germany. Today we are divided into five countries; Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, and Germany.

Espresso House is a Swedish coffee chain and is owned by JAB Holding Company. We are passionate about coffee, people, and the environment - and creating the world's best coffee experience for the world's best guests. If you have the ambition to give the best coffee experience to a satisfied guest, you must be able to offer really good coffee in a pleasant environment. You create a pleasant environment by having nice coffee shops, but - it is 100 times more important to have the world's best staff.

OUR COFFEE

Single Origin
A Single Origin coffee comes from a specific region. One of the great advantages of Single Origin is that it gives small farmers an opportunity to get their coffee on the market without having to produce large volumes. By joining coffee cooperatives, small farmers can reach out to the market with their coffee batches.

Single Estate
Single Estate means that the coffee comes from an individual farm. So no mixed coffee batches, but we know exactly on which slope the coffee bean has grown and how many hours of sunshine and precipitation the bean has received. It provides full traceability and transparency on the coffee bean's path to your cup.

Our Brew Coffee
At Espresso House, we have three different and well-selected brewed coffees - all with their special taste profiles and origins. Enjoy a perfect cup of coffee from Brazil, Colombia, or Ethiopia. Of course, we grind the beans just before brewing for optimal taste. The coffee is a Specialty Coffee.

Our Espresso
Our espresso blend is carefully selected to create a well-balanced espresso for both beginners and connoisseurs - of course with a rust profile that is optimized for the best taste in espresso brewing. Signature Espresso, as we call it, is used in all our espresso-based drinks and the taste is full-bodied and characteristic with sweetness, freshness, and tones of chocolate, caramel, and orange. The coffee is a Specialty Coffee.
