missed part one?
from copenhagen we continued direction to oslo with a long coffee stop in helsingborg at koppi. koppi, what shall i say? it is the nicest place ever! nice interiour, long counter with a glassfront behind it, where you can see the roaster and behind that the kitchen. we felt very welcome here. i started my morning with a cowboy latte and a nice camembert sandwich
after that, charles made us a late harvest panama bouquete in a v60, which he roasted the day before. it was a very good natural coffee, bluecheese tastyish, very clean. we were happy and talked all the way up to oslo about koppi …
we felt a little sad leaving but we had to be in oslo by night!
oslo! my old home, all so new, but still i could find my way around. it was nice seeing guro and maren again. we had burgers at nighthawk diner, a nice new place in grünerløkka.
i have to admit, the burger was really fantastic. on the side i had a brooklyn lager, which brings me right down to the beer trend in oslo. suddenly all the places have such a big variety of beer from abroad, it’s amazing. but let me write about beer another time. and there is this other new beer place down the street, which has all these great beers … ok, coffee for now.
our morning plan: visit tim wendelboe! and that’s what we did. i was at his place two years before, so it was nice coming back, bringing some more coffee experience along. we started with the nacimiento aeropressed. it was actually the first aeropress on our trip. we were excited.
it was really nice “hanging out” in the windowsill and watching tim varney roast:
unfortunately we didn’t have time to talk to tim w, but we finished our stay with the tw 0% irish coffee, bought books and coffee for home – perfect.
we also spent some time at another new place called fuglen. they are some kind of retro café place in the daytime and a bar by night. it has a nice woody touch and you can buy some of the retro accessories.
one last stop in oslo has to be mentioned. java espressobar! it’s a really nice place, right beside st. hanshaugen park.
