Brought to you by ⁠⁠Wacaco⁠⁠, a brand of portable espresso makers that are completely hand-powered. I use their gear, including coffee brewers, hand grinders and scales on all my coffee adventures.
In this episode, I’m sharing a recording of a short talk I gave not too long ago at Nordic Coffee Fest in Sweden.
The topic is one I’ve been exploring more and more lately and it is the Global Trends and Cultural Traditions of coffee around the world, and particularly how we can honour and preserve some of the things that made coffee what it is today, while we move forward as an industry.
For those interested visuals that go along with the talk, I’ve uploaded the slides to my website so you can go take a look at your leisure here:

March 25, 2024 016 Oskar Garberg – Standout Coffee: Swedish Coffee Culture, Competition Style Coffees, Building Community, and Striving for Coffee Excellence
Oskar Garberg is the CEO and Co-founder of Standout Coffee in Stockholm along with Alexander Ruas. This episode is actually a repost from their podcast, making me the guest this time around, so we touch on how my journey into coffee was heavily linked with my love for skateboarding, cycling, and exploration in general.
That said, I had a chance to ask Oskar some questions about their roastery, and we dive into a bit about coffee competitions, building community, coffee processing, and striving for excellence as a brand.
Check out their podcast for more great interviews with other Coffeepreneurs, and take a peek at their web shop for a taste of we were drinking!

When we met, he was working with Ember Mugs and now represents Fellow Products in Europe and beyond, so I was curious to pick his brain about his sales process in the coffee industry as well as his approach to making coffee content online.
