Scandinavian Coffee Review

Löfbergs Coffee Review 2025

Sweden's family-owned roaster, roasting since 1906. Climate certified, organic, and bringing Scandinavian coffee culture to UK kitchens.

Our Verdict 4.2 / 5

Löfbergs offers better environmental credentials than almost any coffee at this price — Climate Certified plus organic. The Mellanrost is a reliable, clean everyday coffee. Not exciting, but honest and well-made.

About Löfbergs

Löfbergs has been roasting coffee in Karlstad, Sweden since 1906. It's a fourth-generation family business and one of Scandinavia's largest independent coffee companies. The Nordic coffee tradition — lighter roasts, drunk black, high consumption per capita — shaped everything about how Löfbergs makes coffee.

Climate Certified status is the standout claim. Löfbergs measures, publishes, and independently verifies the carbon footprint of every step in their supply chain — from farm to cup. For eco-conscious UK coffee buyers, this level of transparency is rare at mainstream prices.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Löfbergs different from other organic coffees?

Löfbergs holds a Climate Certified status — independently verified carbon footprint measurement and offsetting across their entire supply chain. Most coffee brands that claim sustainability focus on Fairtrade or organic certification. Löfbergs goes further with third-party verified climate accounting, making them one of the most genuinely transparent brands on environmental claims.

Is Löfbergs available in UK supermarkets?

Yes — Löfbergs is stocked in Waitrose, Ocado, and selected independent retailers across the UK. The Mellanrost (medium roast) and Mörk (dark roast) are the most widely available formats. It's also available on Amazon UK for delivery.

What does Löfbergs Mellanrost taste like?

Löfbergs Mellanrost is a classic Scandinavian medium roast — clean, smooth, and light-bodied with mild acidity and gentle nuttiness. It's designed to be drunk black without sugar, which is the Nordic coffee tradition. If you prefer a strong, bold espresso, the Mörk dark roast is a better choice.
