Espresso House specialty coffee

Espresso House is the leading premium coffee shop chain in the Nordic region, established in 1996 in Lund, Sweden. The brand focuses on 'Specialty Coffee,' which is coffee that scores 80 points or higher on the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) scale. While the coffee beans are sourced from various regions across South and Central America, Africa, and Asia, the brand centralizes its production by roasting all its coffee in its own state-of-the-art facility located in Länna, just outside Stockholm, Sweden. Additionally, the brand's food and pastries are produced at its central bakery in Malmö, Sweden.

Since 2015, the brand has been under the ownership of JAB Holding Company, a global investment firm specializing in consumer goods and coffee. Under this ownership, Espresso House has expanded significantly across Northern Europe, including Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, and Germany. The brand is known for its corporate-owned business model, ensuring consistent quality and a signature 'cozy' Nordic atmosphere across all its 500+ locations.
