Löfbergs Organic 100% Arabica Ground Coffee, 250g
Wrong coffee for an espresso machine. This is a filter grind: it wants a cafetiere, a drip machine or a patient hand pour, and it will run straight through a pressurised basket. In the right kit the Nordic house style shows up as toasted nut, warm cereal, a soft cocoa weight underneath and almost no sharpness, a cup built to be drunk black all morning rather than admired once.
Löfbergs Organic 100% Arabica Ground Coffee, in brief.
Löfbergs Organic 100% Arabica Ground Coffee is the organic everyday filter coffee from the Swedish family roastery, a 250g pack of arabica-only ground coffee with no robusta in the blend, picked into the Teas.co.uk curator selection as the clean, low-acid weekday cafetiere pack rather than a speciality single-estate bag.
A 250g household pack, ground for cafetiere and filter rather than espresso, and best bought in this size so it is drunk while it still smells of something.
Löfbergs Organic 100% Arabica Ground Coffee is the everyday organic filter coffee from the Swedish family roastery, ground and packed in a 250g pack for people who brew at home rather than push a button on a machine. The front of the pack makes two commitments and the coffee keeps to both: it is organic, and it is arabica only, with no robusta blended in to pad out the body or the caffeine.
That matters more in a ground coffee than it does in a bean. Ground coffee is bought to be used, not admired, and the difference between a pleasant weekday cup and a harsh one is usually the species in the bag rather than the skill of the person making it. Arabica gives you the softer acidity and the sweeter finish; robusta gives you the rubbery edge that people blame on their cafetiere. Löfbergs sells this one as a clean, all-arabica organic pack, and that is exactly how it reads in the cup.

The Story Behind Löfbergs
Löfbergs is a Swedish family coffee roastery, and Sweden drinks more coffee per head than almost anywhere in Europe, which tends to produce roasters who understand the middle of the market rather than only the top of it. The house style is built for repeat drinking: medium roast, low acidity, nothing sharp enough to need a spoonful of sugar to fix it. This organic pack sits in that tradition rather than trying to be a speciality single-estate coffee.
Packaging: Follow the current UK pack and local-authority guidance; components can require different disposal routes.
Our Commitment To The Planet
- Organic on the front of the pack: the product name itself carries the organic claim, so the certification body and its number are printed on the pack you receive. Read them off the pack rather than taking our word for it.
- Buy the size you will drink: a 250g pack of ground coffee used within a few weeks of opening wastes far less than a big bag that goes flat in the cupboard.

The taste profile
How does it compare
To get the best out of Löfbergs Organic 100% Arabica, treat it as a filter and cafetiere coffee. It is ground for immersion and drip brewing; it is too coarse to behave in a domestic espresso machine and will simply run through.
The Cafetiere Standard
The Filter Machine Build
Made with this tea
The Weekday Cafetiere Mug
How to make The Weekday Cafetiere Mug with Löfbergs Organic 100% Arabica.
- 15g Löfbergs Organic 100% Arabica
- 250ml water, boiled and rested 30 seconds
- A timer
- A spoon for the crust
- Warm the cafetiere with a splash of hot water and tip it out, then add 15g of Löfbergs Organic 100% Arabica Ground Coffee, 250g.
- Pour 250ml of boiled water rested for 30 seconds over the grounds and start the timer.
- Break the crust at four minutes, skim the foam off the top and plunge slowly.
- Decant the whole lot straight away so it stops extracting.
What you'll end up with: A clean nut-and-cocoa mug with a dry finish, and no sludge in the last mouthful.
Filter Jug for Four
How to make Filter Jug for Four with Löfbergs Organic 100% Arabica.
- 36g Löfbergs Organic 100% Arabica
- 600ml fresh cold water
- A paper filter
- A jug or flask
- Rinse the paper filter with hot water first and throw that water away, which takes the cardboard taste out.
- Level 36g of Löfbergs Organic 100% Arabica Ground Coffee, 250g flat in the basket and fill the machine with 600ml of fresh cold water.
- Move the jug off the hotplate the moment it finishes brewing.
- Pour into a warmed flask if it is not being drunk within ten minutes.
What you'll end up with: Four even cups instead of one strong and three thin, which is what a sloped coffee bed gives you.
Double Strength Iced Coffee
How to make Double Strength Iced Coffee with Löfbergs Organic 100% Arabica.
- 20g Löfbergs Organic 100% Arabica
- 200ml just boiled water, rested
- A full glass of ice
- A splash of milk, optional
- Brew 20g of Löfbergs Organic 100% Arabica Ground Coffee, 250g in only 200ml of water for four minutes, so it comes out at roughly double strength.
- Fill a tall glass to the top with ice, not half way.
- Pour the hot coffee straight over the ice so it chills instantly rather than sitting warm.
- Top with a splash of cold milk if you want it softer.
What you'll end up with: Iced coffee that still tastes of coffee once the ice has done its work, rather than brown water.
Overnight Cold Brew Concentrate
How to make Overnight Cold Brew Concentrate with Löfbergs Organic 100% Arabica.
- 80g Löfbergs Organic 100% Arabica
- 500ml cold water
- A lidded jar
- A paper filter or fine sieve
- Stir 80g of Löfbergs Organic 100% Arabica Ground Coffee, 250g into 500ml of cold water in a jar until every grain is wet.
- Leave it in the fridge for twelve hours, or on the counter for eight if the kitchen is cool.
- Strain through a paper filter, slowly, and do not squeeze the grounds.
- Dilute one part concentrate to two parts water or milk over ice.
What you'll end up with: Four days of iced coffee in the fridge, sweeter and rounder than the hot version because cold water never pulls the bitter compounds.
The Fika Pot
How to make The Fika Pot with Löfbergs Organic 100% Arabica.
- 16g Löfbergs Organic 100% Arabica
- 400ml water at about 94 degrees
- Cinnamon buns or almond biscuits
- Two small cups, not mugs
- Brew 16g of Löfbergs Organic 100% Arabica Ground Coffee, 250g in 400ml of water for four minutes, deliberately lighter than a mug build.
- Pour into two small cups rather than one large one.
- Serve with something baked and sit down with it, which is the whole point of fika.
- Refill once. A second small cup is traditional and this roast is light enough to take it.
What you'll end up with: A lighter cup built for a second helping, which is how Swedes drink the most coffee in Europe without ruining their evening.
Coffee and Cocoa Nightcap Mug
How to make Coffee and Cocoa Nightcap Mug with Löfbergs Organic 100% Arabica.
- 12g Löfbergs Organic 100% Arabica
- 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
- 50ml hot milk or oat milk
- Honey to taste, optional
- Stir 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder into the dry grounds before any water goes near them, which stops it clumping.
- Brew 12g of Löfbergs Organic 100% Arabica Ground Coffee, 250g in 200ml of water for four minutes.
- Top with 50ml of hot milk or oat milk and sweeten only if you need to.
- Remember this is caffeinated coffee, so keep it for early evening rather than bedtime.
What you'll end up with: The cocoa note in the roast doubled up rather than covered up, without turning the mug into a milkshake.
Brewing the perfect cup
What’s in it, what to know
Inside the pack
| Ingredient | Proportion | What it brings |
|---|---|---|
| Organic arabica coffee, roasted and ground | 100% | The whole of the cup. Arabica carries the toasted nut and cocoa character and the softer acidity that lets this be drunk black. |
| Robusta or other coffee species | 0% | Deliberately absent. Robusta adds cheap body and a rubbery bitterness; leaving it out is the point of a 100% arabica pack. |
| Added flavourings, sugar or preservatives | none | Nothing is added. What is in the pack is coffee, which is why the storage advice matters more here than any ingredient list. |
Pack: Löfbergs Organic 100% Arabica Ground Coffee, 250g; caffeinated ground coffee for cafetiere and filter. Best used within a few weeks of opening; the printed best-before date is on the pack.
Characterising components shown.
Sourcing & blend. Löfbergs Organic 100% Arabica Ground Coffee, 250g is put together by Löfbergs, the Swedish family coffee roastery, in the Nordic everyday style: a medium roast built for repeat drinking rather than for a tasting flight. The pack claims organic and arabica-only, and both claims are printed on the front of the pack where a certifying body and code must appear alongside them.
What's in Löfbergs Organic 100% Arabica Ground Coffee, 250g, and what isn't:
- In: roasted, ground organic arabica coffee and nothing else.
- No artificial colours, preservatives or added sugar: any sweetness in the cup comes from the roast itself.
- No robusta: the pack states 100% arabica, which is the single biggest reason this one drinks softer than a supermarket value blend.
