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!

Stories

These are stories from our farmers, our projects and other coffee-related (could also be tea...) stories that we deemed important to tell you about. If there is a topic you feel you just need us to cover, hit our chat with a message. We got you!

JOURNAL | The beginning of something big

Mondays can be rough, but they can also be the beginning of something big, or at least something good. This is where our journey started—learn the story behind our Big Monday Coffee.

JOURNAL | The Indispensable Women In Coffee

70% is a big, big number. However, coffee farming all around the globe is like much else in life: run by men. In fact, less than a third of coffee farms in the world are female-operated.

JOURNAL | When they go low

Growing coffee on high vs low altitudes. The higher the altitude, the better the coffee. But how come?

JOURNAL | Gender equality in the coffee industry

Lykkes mission is to create coffee with no harm done, by sustainable farming, but also sustainable business practices, and that includes gender equality.
