Danish coffee: the roasters to know
Danish baristas won four of the first seven World Barista Championships, in 2001, 2002, 2005 and 2006. From that generation came roasters such as Coffee Collective and La Cabra, which the trade press sees as the model of the Scandinavian style: coffee bought on fair terms and roasted lightly.
