To make a pilgrimage to Scandinavia’s hub of specialty coffee, head to Copenhagen. Northern European roasters look to express nuance and accentuate elegance, acid, fruit, and body with lighter to medium roasts. As one of the earliest roasters in the city, Coffee Collective led this charge. Today, it has seven locations, each with a distinct design. La Cabra is another dynamic coffee roaster, one often seen on menus in foreign cities. For an up-and-coming outfit with two intimate shops, head to Prolog. Copenhagen’s roasters reflect the city’s eco-conscious ethos, often offering ceramic cups on premise or compostable cups to go.
