The Lykke Journals

Welcome to our brew guides, recipes, projects, missions, farms, news and more. If you read or watch them all you might become somewhat of a coffee expert. Not only on how coffee is grown but also on how to best extract an espresso. You will be able to impress your guests with playful recipes and take part in the most intricate conversations about the complexity of an SL-34 bean and the way climate change is affecting the coffee industry.

All in all, there is something for everyone here. Happy reading, or watching, and may the coffee in your cup never run out. And if it does – we can fix that!

JOURNAL | A Friday for ISEBWE 2023
