Hi there Thomas,
I am a Finn but I live in Copenhagen, Denmark. I am aware of at least 5 or 6 other CoffeeGeeks from Denmark (two are also named Thomas by the way) and there are a few more from Southern Sweden.
By the way, in case you are interested, the second Copenhagen Home-Barista Jam is in he cards probably in July...

Hi Teme!
Thanks for replying to my thread, happy to see that there are other than me in the copenhagen-area that likes espresso :)
Sounds great about the home-barista Jam, what exactly is it?
Also, do you know if some of the so called barista-courses/workshops are worth the money? It's kind of hard to get some hands-on experience in this hobby when you don't know anyone...
Well, the first jam was good fun - I wrote about it here. The next one will be held at Risteriet and I think a more extensive tamper shootout and a cupping session may be in the cards among other things... ...I very much look forward to it.

My favourites are Risteriet and Café Europa. Dag H is ok, or even good when you have the right barista. I hear very good things about Estate Coffee, but I've never actually been there - I need to go and visit them...
My definite favourites are the d'Or and Uno blends from Risteriet. I also like Kontra's regular all arabica espresso blend, but they roast less regularly than Risteriet. It is a nice blend but with Kontra you sometimes will have to settle for beans that have been roasted a week before and I prefer my coffee a bit fresher...
Nice looking set up you have there, looks very good.
I second Temes choices, I just roasted a small batch of the the Uno blends from Risteriet. Roasted them at 4 this afternoon, it's SO tempting to go out and pull a shot right now... :)

I tried Café Europa last friday, ordered a double macchiato. Taste was very good, almost kinda smokey flavoured actually, very full bodied. Sounds like a very dark roast doesn't it?
