Scandi Coffee Secrets from a Family of Caffeine Fiends - Remodelista
Like most Swedes, my parents take their coffee drinking seriously: They prefer it black, hot, strong, and served twice daily. My husband, a java aficionado (who learned about coffee while living in Costa Rica), likes to use the manual Chemex, while my parents expect the ease of a coffee machine (with an on/off button and a heating element). Prior to their arrival, I told Brandon it was time to avoid the heated debate and invest in a coffeemaker. The Wilfa Presisjon Coffeemaker is the creation of award-winning Norwegian barista Tim Wendelboe, who runs his own micro-roastery and espresso bar, Tim Wendelboe, in Oslo. (A chart diagram of its temperature line resembles a hockey stick in comparison to the a bell shape of most coffeemakers.). Photograph by Izabella Simmons for Remodelista. The best of both worlds: The Wilfa coffeemaker accommodates the Chemex (now my husband and parents can enjoy great-tasting coffee). Brought all the way from Sweden in my parents’ luggage: Höganäs Coffee Cups. The stoneware design comes with a wooden lid that retain the heat of the coffee (and double as a saucer). Pouring myself a freshly made cup brewed by our Wilfa (as you can see, I stick with my own mugs; this one is from Royal Copenhagen).
