You know the saying, “without (blank), none of this would have been possible”? Well, in the case of the Nordic Barista Cup volunteers, it’s really true. It’s unbelievable how hard they have been working, the number of hours they are putting in… honestly, it has not gone unnoticed.

It’s hard to believe we are almost to the end of the event! But as tradition dictates, the final day of the Nordic Barista Cup 2007 will be the most exciting one yet. This morning, attendees have left to participate in a café crawl through the city of Gothenburg.
We were given flyers with instructions to […]
What can we tell you about the White Party? It was NUTS. We arrived at 7:30, dressed in white. Actually, I was wearing all white; Ken just had a white shirt, white hat and blue jeans. So upon entering, Ken — along with anyone else who wasn’t wearing a completely white outfit — was instructed […]
The first ever Nordic Roaster of the Year competition has a winner! Solberg & Hansen took top honors for their coffee — a blend of Kenyan (90 percent) and Salvadoran (10 percent) — in a blind judging event this morning at the NBC.

The lovely Bjorg Brend, who handles an enormous amount of details and planning of the Nordic Barista Cup events, has just added […]
You bet we are! Yes, it was painful to get out of bed this morning at 7, but not a bother considering we know how much fun is in store for us. Here are some shots of the good times we’re all having right here in Gothenburg, Sweden…
Svensk Mjölk (the Swedish Dairy Association) developed one of the most innovative programs to increase milk consumption in the world: The Beige Project. Interestingly, the project was getting off the ground around the same time as the Nordic Barista Cup, so it was a natural fit for the two to work together. Gunilla Steinwall of […]
Perhaps inspired by WBC champ James Hoffmann’s call for absurd latte art on his website (jimseven.com), Nordic Barista Cup teams participated in a race to create latte art in cupping trays. Keep in mind, too, that this took place right after an enormous, delicious lunch by Hello Monkey. So perhaps teams got some cramps as […]
