Berlin & Coffee

[berlinerkaffeeprojekt]

It’s perfectly fine not to do aeropress, pour over or any other kind of handbrew. However, being in the barista business, you should know what it is. I was probably not able to hide my surprise when the woman who took my order hadn’t heard about aeropress or V60. Oliv (Potsdamer Straße 91) has got a tempting breakfast and lunch menu, the place looks really cool and the staff is friendly and nice. And the flat white was actually pretty decent. Might I suggest, however, letting the staff get a basic barista course.

Bonanza Coffee Roasters got themselves a brand new and damned gorgeous looking coffee shop, located in their also quite new (about eight months old) roastery. Head for the backyard in Adalbertstraße 70, Kreuzberg.

Populus Maybachufer 20 (Kreuzkölln)

A warm welcome to the three weeks old Finnish newcomer on Maybachufer! While waiting for their own roastery to open, they work with beans from Helsinki based Good Life and Oslo based Kaffa. Had a perfect flat white while reading Standart and doing some people watching.

My first «coffee agent» assignment completed. Coffee beans from the Norwegian Trondheim based roastery Jacobsen & Svart delivered at Nano Kaffee in Berlin. Hopefully they will appeal!

Jacobsen & Svart Trondheim, Norway

After existing a while as a roastery, Jacobsen (the guy behind it all) opened his own coffee shop late last autumn. «Svart» is the Norwegian word for «black», so basically this is about the man and his coffee. This was exactly what I needed after an intense day with meetings. So delicate, so sleek, so Scandinavian. And so immensely nice and cool guys! Even an introvert guy like me found the energy to be talkative. Enjoyed a sublime Ethiopian chelelectu while listening to Italian oldtimers and chatting with the barista.

Back home where I grew up. Waiting for Christmas and for the hubby, who shortly will be landing at the airport. Then, it's Christmas.

Cielo Melkebaren Bodø, Norway

Quite far up north in Norway you’ll find the small city Bodø and the specialty coffee shop Cielo Melkebaren where everyone knows everyone and the atmosphere is unusually welcoming and relaxed («Melkebaren» translates into «The Milkbar»). Despite the emphasis on milk in its name, the aeropressed Kenyan coffee is really perfect. I was early for a meeting today (the taxi ride from the airport to the city lasted about 4 minutes…) so I stayed for a cappuccino as well. A truly great place, this is. They even roast their own beans. Delicious coffee accompanied by a good looking hipsterbearded barista is the recipe for success.

Det Lille Kaffekompaniet Nedre Fjellsmau 2 (Bergen, Norway)

It feels like a lifetime ago and so many things have changed. Both regarding coffee (in terms of processing, roasting, brewing, philosophy etc.) and in life in general. I worked in this coffee shop in Bergen for 2,5 years and had a blast. For us colleagues the place pretty much functioned as a low-threshold after school programme. It was so much more than a (poorly paid, yet highly appreciated) job. I stopped by the other day, when in Bergen on a business trip. The place has got new owners but has still got the same, warm and welcoming, good atmosphere. It’s in the walls. I have countless good memories from Det Lille Kaffekompaniet, including that particular Sunday afternoon in January 2007 when I went down on one knee and asked that particular guy if he could consider becoming husband and husband.

Managed to track down some tasty coffee in Istanbul, too. Good vibes and autumn sun. (ved Kronotrop)

Snille @imtorgersen har vore i New York og tatt med kaffebønner til nerdevennen sin! Look what @imtorgersen brought me from @bluebottle New York! As happy as only a nerd can be. (ved Nollendorfstraße, Berlin)

The Berliner Kaffeeprojekt is no longer permanently situated in Berlin. Hence, the blogposting frequency will necessarily decrease, but it will not cease. Thanks for following so far! The picture shows pretty much all the coffee bags I and the hubby have consummated in house between January and September this year. It's been a blast!
