Life is too short to drink bad coffee
We pick the month's roaster the way we would pick for ourselves. Right now there are three: Hibi, Supreme Roastworks and Jacu.
Oslo
Hibi is small, new and already runner-up in the Norwegian roasting championship 2026. It is the coffee we drink ourselves on an ordinary weekday, so it was an easy pick.
Oslo
Supreme Roastworks has roasted coffee in Oslo since 2008 and picked up plenty of awards along the way, including the Brewers Cup world title in 2015. We have been drinking their coffee for years. It does not disappoint.
Ålesund
This month’s roaster · September
Jacu has been one of Ole Jørgen's favourites since he started out as a barista. They roast light: filter coffee from Africa, Asia and South and Central America, a series of rare coffees, and espresso they often develop together with baristas. Everything is roasted on a Loring S35 in Ålesund.
The name comes from the jacu, a South American bird that flies from plantation to plantation picking the best coffee cherries. Jacu buys straight from the farmer where they can, otherwise from distributors they trust, so the people behind the coffee are properly paid. The roastery started in 2011, and Anne Birte Bjørdal Hanken runs it today.
