Espresso House mug

Espresso House is the largest coffeehouse chain in the Nordic region, originating in Lund, Sweden. Founded in 1996 by Charles and Elisabet Asker, the brand initially focused on providing a cozy, high-quality café experience that was distinct from traditional Swedish coffee shops. Over the years, it expanded rapidly across Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, and Germany.

In 2015, Espresso House was acquired by JAB Holding Company, a global investment firm based in Luxembourg. Today, JAB Holding remains the ultimate owner, managing Espresso House as part of its extensive portfolio of coffee and beverage brands. While the brand remains headquartered in Stockholm, its merchandise, such as the ceramic mugs used in its cafés, is typically produced through global supply chains, often manufactured in various international locations specializing in high-quality porcelain and kitchenware.
