Coffee. Stories.
The world in a cup.

Had a morning cup.

A trip to Dunkin Donuts for coffee.

The Americano coffee at the local looks alive. Very nice Santa Isabel coffee from El Salvador.

A brilliant coffee experience that came out of nowhere. The auto garage coffee.

Interesting. Quiet in the morning with pink Happiness herbal tea.

A coffee gem in downtown Reykjavik.

A quick review of the Kigali coffee place in Reykjavik. Will go there again.

Breakfast at the best place in town. Great coffee and an awesome freshly baked warm scone with jam. The best coffee place in Iceland as it stands.

Went to Súfistinn coffee house today. An old favourite.

First trip of the year. My old stomping grounds have not changed much, great coffee and a great scone.

Old Java coffee made with Hario V60, Slow Brew equipment.

Rustic and cool place. Just dropped in for a takeaway. The double Latte tasted very nice. My Americano was good as well.

Starting to grow on me. An all Vegan place with good coffee.

AT Gallery Laugarvatn drinking Americano Coffee.

At Efsti Dalur farm house — a coffee house, ice cream store, restaurant and open view cow farm. The drive up the hill reveals a place just as it should be.

When going postal in the rain a good cup of Americano helps.

Went to Pallett Café Company tonight. A bit late for the great coffee, so hot chocolate it was. 46% was the choice of the evening.

Very nice double Espresso and cold Ice Latte.

Good coffee and a free mini muffin.

Americano was dark and strong. The double latte was well over average compared to other places in Spain.

Good Stuff cafe again. Great coffee and fresh orange juice.

First time in Starbucks for 9 years. A bit of a disappointment. I miss a good local microbrewery coffee.

Great soup, good coffee and a beautiful setting — from the leaning floor to the wall decorations. Very nice place to visit.

First visit! Lively with a good smell of coffee in the air. Got some Guatemala coffee from Kaffibrennslan Kvörn. Acidic and a very very good cup.

Back to basics and keeping it real. Fantastic coffee while camping. The Bialetti never fails.

What a start to the working day. A good cup of Americano next to my day job office. Very early, not many people around. Just me, coffee and the morning paper.

Again — great start. A good cup to start the day.

Bowie in the air, Ashes to Ashes, and a double espresso on the table about to be enjoyed.

Good coffee in a good bakery/coffee house.

Storm moving in on the city. So the best thing to do is get some great coffee before the weather hits.

As usual, great coffee.

Very nice coffee in a Scandinavian themed coffee house in Manchester, Northern Quarter. Coffee from El Salvador.

The search for the perfect cup continues. North Star coffee are doing their bit to assist. Fantastic.

A fantastic cup at a great little micro roaster in Withington Manchester. The coffee roaster himself was there and gave great tips.

Quiet Sunday morning. Hank Williams cover songs on the playlist. Hot coffee, slow, relaxed.

What a cup. Americano that is 50/50 ratio coffee and water. Excellent.

How the mighty have fallen. Cold Americano, poor service, new pay-per-cup policy. The sad part is the attitude of the staff in sync with the place becoming more of a tourist trap.

Coffee at the Irish pub, Mulligans.

The gluten free mushroom soup. The locally made salsa. Wow.

At restaurant Mika in Reykholt. Decent coffee.

Stuck in Selfoss waiting for the roads to open due to bad weather. Cosy dimlit upstairs at Café Krús.

Got a sample of the Ethiopian roast and the Columbian roast. Both very good. The Columbian roast was a party — fresh, flavourful and fun. Best coffee in Reykjavik today.

Spring in Reykjavik. Sitting outside drinking coffee. It could be worse.

A very nice cup on the way from the gym. Listening to Wild is the Wind by Bowie.

Drinking the new Columbia roast. Fantastic. One of the best I have had here for a long time.

I asked for one espresso. The barista gave me two. 27 and 30 second drips. Wow. I feel so loved.

Reading at Reykjavik Roasters waiting to go to a meeting.

A change of venue from the usual. The playground of the young professionals in the Reykjavik financial district.

Latte is good. Americano decent. Not microroastery standards, but a good looking place and ok coffee.

The double espresso was very good. Guatemala from the roastery just down the street. A teahouse with a Japanese theme. Not cheap but worth checking out.

Piazza D'Oro Australia coffee at a sleek bookstore/coffee house. Espresso is good and the latte is very good.

Coffee is actually decent — in general Spanish coffee is bitter but not here. The breakfast and Greek yoghurt dish are very good.

Coffee from Charqwa. Decent coffee. The food looks very good. A good small town bakery.

Great looking place. Bad coffee, watery and flavorless. Service people half clueless. Clearly looks can only get you so far. Beautiful town though.

Good Americano coffee from Kaffitár at Kaffi Ilmur.

At Te og Kaffi in the business district. Coffee is ok, the company is great. My sister and the seagull who moved from the top of my car to the table.

A rare treat. Pallett coffee delivers again. Excellent Columbian coffee specially made for them by Kaffitár.

Wow. What a cup of coffee! Ethiopian coffee at its finest. Roasted by Kaffi Kvörn.

Drinking the new Honduras roast from Kaffbrennslan Kvörn. Mild, subtle, gentle. Listening to Kraftwerk. Brilliant.

Natural Ethiopia coffee. Tastes like berry juice. Very happy cup. The blue cup is Honduras — smooth and light. Both very very very nice.

Good espresso to my surprise.

Pallett delivers as usual. Great coffee, great hot chocolate and a scone to die for.

Amazing, I asked for one cup, she gave me two. Feel like Gimli in Lord of the Rings. Galadriel with the purple hair gave me a great gift.

A very good espresso. Roasters has its ups and downs these days. This cup is very nice.

Piazza D'Oro coffee. A nice place to sit in a very multicultural area of the city.

Love those yellow cups. Good coffee and a great apple pie. Blend 104 from Te & Kaffi.

House blend from Kaffitár — blend of Indonesian and South American. A double espresso. Very good cup. Fresh, flavorful.

Donna Nemen Brazilian coffee by Reykjavik Roasters. Good espresso. Mix of locals, tourists and students.

Came to buy sourdough bread. Ended up with a double espresso while searching for Pokémons downtown.

Christmas at my sisters house. Guatemala coffee from Kaffibrugghúsið. Great party, great company and great Irish coffee with Dalmore whiskey.

Fair trade coffee. A bit American style roast. Bitter and robust.

New Columbian Amaca coffee from Kvörn roasting. Early morning. Espresso and a yellow coffee enthusiast for company.

In the cup is Nano Challa from Ethiopia. What makes my day is the awesome aroma just before you take a small sip. Incredible. The moment just before the taste.

Home experiments continue. Semi-dark roasting some Celebes coffee. Looks and smells good.

Managed to make a good tasting latte at home with my air popcorn maker / roasting machine.

A new place in Reykjavik, opened January 2019. I like it. They import their own coffee and it tastes good.

Coffee drinking and coffee roasting at the balcony. Sunday morning could be worse.

More home roasting. Guatemala and Columbia coffee. The smell of roasted coffee fills the neighbourhood.

The blue haired barista came back with an awesome Ethiopian coffee from Kvörn roasting and a book for me to read. Made my day.

Illy coffee. Latte is good, mild and smooth. Nice after taste compared to road side gas station survival cups of yesterday.

Illy coffee again. Espresso decent, double latte not as good as yesterday. The scenery behind the place is awesome.

Drinking some very nice double espresso at lunchtime. Potent brew. I like it.

Good coffee. Good company. Reading Perfect Union of Contrary Things by Maynard James Keenan.

When the need calls one cannot be too picky. Escape from the rain.

Great cup of quadruple espresso from Columbia. Very nice Latte as well. A very small outlet, great coffee.

Depends on location what kind of coffee one can drink.

Independent Specialty Coffee. 16 Lillie Road SW6. Great coffee to go for the train ride. Very friendly staff who know their coffee.

A very nice espresso in the afternoon. And a Mozart Kugel. My local in an industrial area — good coffee and great staff.

Very hot latte for the better half, and a decent Chaqwa espresso for me. Very happy with the small shot of sparkling water.

Great coffee and soup with the better half. After the coffee was finished the prophecy of the cup was Pac Man.

First time at the Roasters in the art gallery. Had a very nice Guatemala coffee.

As usual this place is always nice. Good coffee, fresh and lively. Nice jazzy vibe music. More locals than tourists.

Home made espresso and latte. In the times of Covid-19 everything slows down. Back to basics. Even my coffee is roasted here by myself.

Homemade Dalgona coffee. First try — sweet and tastes amazing. Heartwarming and fantastic with some Bailey's.

Dalgona coffee again. Cold milk on ice with vanilla sugar and liquorice syrup. Hot creamy meets cold milk. A great tasting drink.

More Dalgona coffee at the balcony in spring. Clapton and Otis Rush and some great coffee. It could be worse.

First home roasting batch since before the Covid-19 restrictions. Central American beans getting into drinkable shape.

Camping and coffee go hand in hand. Fantastic day in Hallormsstaður forest. 20 degrees and bright sky. Great coffee from Kaffibrugghúsið.

The better half made a latte. The foam art is called 'A singing Mumin in the moonlight'. Made from Central American coffee roasted in house.

A new coffee station and some sourdough cheese melt with avocado, lemon and chili flakes.

First cup of 2021. Las Cotorras from Mexico. A great start to the new coffee year.

The second cup of 2021 from Kongo. After a two hour dog walk in the cold — very warm welcome. More earthy than expected but smooth. Flavour of sweet nuts.

Waiting for my son to finish his Athletics practice. A lonely Covid coffee experience. Good cup, few people.

Sunday morning in Kópavogur. Due to Covid-19 restrictions I cannot watch my kids athletics tournament — so coffee it is.

Drinking coffee at a flowershop/energy crystals coffee house. Tranquil music and a mismatch of stuff from all over. Cosy place, decent Illy coffee.

After work on a rainy day. Great Columbian coffee with a homebaked English scone, clotted cream and strawberry/rhubarb jam. The latte and Americano had significant oomph.

Saturday at my own home coffee house. A great Columbian espresso with Thanos cookies. Even the dog gets a treat.

Balcony party with great smooth coffee from Kvörn micro roaster. And some Sherry and Marabou goodness.

Coffee from Burundi from Kvörn. A little bit of seasonal chocolate and some sparkling water. Great company.

Columbia Excelsio roasted by me. -6° outside and this coffee goodness inside. It could be a lot worse.

Before and after the cake. Good coffee in Kópavogur.

Forced to seek refuge from the rain. Americano that was good and an Appresso — a mix of espresso and orange juice on ice. Interesting experience.

Great coffee. Roasted by themselves. Great panini and a proper German Pretzel. Berlin is delivering. Great little coffee shop.

An espresso made in a small Bialetti stove pot. Smooth and very nice. Very cosy place — urge everyone to try it.

Very very nice Costa Rica coffee. Very distinct flavour. From Kaffibrugghús. Reading Fundamentals of Excellent Coffee.

Coffee shops in Iceland are getting more expensive and quality is getting worse. Happy to make great coffee at home.

Very nice Vietnamese coffee. Espresso was very nice and the cold shaken coffee was heavy, fresh and very nice. A place to explore more.

Probably the best kept secret in the city. Great prices, good coffee, fantastic cakes and a good cause to support.

Very cosy and nice looking place. Relaxed and enjoyable experience. Latte was nice. The double espresso was ok — too dark roast for my taste. I like the atmosphere.

Swiss Mocha instead of black coffee — taking risks today. The latte below average. The Swiss Mocha was ok, a bit watery.

Different from most other coffee shops in Reykjavik. A nice distraction from the norm.

A must if you are close by. Great espresso today.

Sandwich and pistachio roll are very nice but the coffee is average. Nice, busy and warm looking place.

Fantastic espresso and Latte with a great lemon coconut cake.

Great coffee on the banks of the mighty Hudson River. New York City in the background mist.

Great coffee from Kvörn the local roastery. Brilliant homemade rhubarb jam and cake and a really beautiful place with a great geological stone collection.

In Seyðisfjörður at a nice touristy coffee place. Looks nice and the Gevalia coffee is ok, and actually not that expensive.

At the bookstore cafe in Fellabær. Ok coffee from Te og Kaffi, a good cake and bread bun. Nice cozy rural coffee house.

Double vanilla latte and a double espresso at the American Schoolbus Coffee shop. Very nice muffins too. Great place by the main highway.

Espresso was very potent and powerful. A blend called Heartbreaker. The Double Latte was great too. Typical NYC small coffee shop. Great coffee.

Great espresso, great Pumpkin Latte and chocolate chip cookie featured on Oprah. Waffle with flowers and pumpkin seeds.

First time in a bakery that feels like a restaurant. Great pastries, decent coffee. Awesome place and location.

Work trip. Great Ethiopian coffee at Cafe Mono in Sitges. The journey towards the best coffee cup continues.

Could be in any city, touristy, decent coffee. The latte was a single not a double. The bagel and sourdough bread was good.

Great Arabian (Syrian) coffee. Thick with cardamoms. Great crispy chicken sandwich. A lovely place, heavy coffee and great staff. Will go again.

A small yellow coffee house. Simple countryside coffee. 19° and sunny breeze. Sitting outside. Smell of ocean fills the fresh air.

One of the most interesting places on Iceland's southern coastline. They roast their own coffee — tastes great. Robust but smooth. Great purpose and ideology.

Schoolbus cafe at Hella. Great coffee. Very cool place.

Coffee brand called Cafe Molinare. Pretty robust and dark roasted. The double espresso was flavourful but heavy. Not my taste. Had some Fika and a cinnamon bun.

Who knew — the best coffee I tried in Stockholm is at the Arlanda Express terminal lounge. Great espresso and latte. Stranded by a snow blizzard.

Swedish Fika in action. Stranded in Stockholm due to severe snowblizzard. Great pastries and great coffee from a Gothenburg roastery. The filter coffee is actually very good.

The coffee culture in Brussels is very good. The double espresso is very nice. Cafe WHY! in Frankfurt still holds the title of best coffee I have tried.

A proper speciality coffee house. Had an espresso from India — totally different from the African flavour explosion. They have coffee from all over the world. Highly recommend.

One of the oldest coffee shops in Iceland. Has that diner feeling. Old fashion cakes. The coffee is actually pretty decent. Mostly locals. People have been coming here for decades.

4 bean blend roasted on site. Packs a punch flavour-wise. Too bitter for my taste. The place is über fancy but the coffee should be top notch and it is not. Was asked how my coffee was — said in full honesty it was just ok.
