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 Taste Profile Roasted Nut: ●●●●○ (4/5) Toasted hazelnut and warm cereal, the note that carries the cup. Cocoa Depth: ●●●○○ (3/5) A soft dark-chocolate weight underneath rather than a sweet chocolate flavour. Brightness: ●●○○○ (2/5) Gentle. This is a rounded, low-acid style, not a sharp modern filter roast. Clean Finish: ●●●●○ (4/5) Dries off neatly with very little bitterness left behind. These scores are our own editorial assessment against the current pack format and the brand's published description. Teas.co.uk Curator Rating 4.4 / 5 - Our expert verdict from the curators at Teas.co.uk 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. How Does Löfbergs Organic 100% Arabica Ground Coffee, 250g Compare to: Löfbergs Brazil Single Origin Ground Coffee, 250g: the same roastery and the same pack size, but the Brazil pack narrows to one country and reads heavier and more cocoa-led. The organic pack is the lighter, cleaner, more everyday of the two. Taylors of Harrogate Brasilia Ground Coffee, 200g: both aim at the same weekday filter slot, but Taylors leans nuttier and sweeter while Löfbergs holds a drier, more Scandinavian finish that suits drinking it black. Costa Coffee Intense Amazonian Blend Ground Coffee, 200g: Costa is built to survive milk and to taste like the high street. Löfbergs is built to be drunk without milk, so it rewards a cafetiere and punishes a rushed, over-hot pour in a way Costa does not. Ideal Brewing Conditions 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 Dose:Two rounded tablespoons, roughly 15g, per 250ml of water. Water:Boil, then wait thirty to forty seconds. Water straight off a rolling boil scalds the grounds and pushes the bitterness up. Brew:Four minutes, lid on, plunger up. Break the crust at four minutes, skim the foam, then plunge slowly. Serve:Decant straight away. Coffee left sitting on its own grounds keeps extracting and turns dull and grippy within ten minutes. The Filter Machine Build Dose:Around 60g per litre in the basket, which is a heaped scoop per two mugs. Bed:Level the grounds flat before you start. A sloped bed is the usual reason one filter jug tastes thin and the next tastes strong. Hold:Move the jug off the hotplate as soon as it finishes. Twenty minutes on a warming plate is what makes filter coffee taste stewed. Result:A clean, nut-led mug that takes a splash of milk without collapsing into nothing. Brewing The Perfect Cup of Löfbergs Organic 100% Arabica Ground Coffee, 250g Water temperature: 94°C, which is a boiled kettle rested for about half a minute. Measure: 7g per small cup, 12 to 15g per mug. A kitchen scale is worth more here than any gadget. Brew: Four minutes in a cafetiere, three to four in a filter machine. Service: Black is where this one is happiest. A splash of milk is fine; a milky mug buries the nut and cocoa entirely. Iced version: Brew at double strength, cool, then pour over a full glass of ice. Do not brew it weak and chill it, or it tastes watery. Best with: Cinnamon buns, almond biscuits, dark chocolate, or on its own mid-morning. Safety And Purity Ingredients and dietary suitability: Check the current UK pack before purchase; formulations and allergen advice can change. Clean label:Roasted ground coffee is the single ingredient. Nothing is added to this pack for flavour, sweetness or shelf life. Read it on the current pack. Storage:Reseal the pack or decant into an airtight tin, keep it away from the hob and out of the fridge, and use it within a few weeks of opening. Ground coffee loses aroma far faster than beans do. Keep it out of their reach. ## Product Questions What sort of coffee is Löfbergs Organic 100% Arabica?It is a medium roast organic ground coffee made only from arabica, packed in a 250g pack by the Swedish family roastery Löfbergs. The style is the Scandinavian everyday one: rounded, low in acidity and dry on the finish, built for cafetiere and filter rather than for espresso.What does 100% arabica actually change?Arabica and robusta are two different species. Arabica is the sweeter, softer one with more aromatic character; robusta is cheaper, heavier and carries the rubbery, grippy edge that many people read as bitterness. A pack that says 100% arabica has left the robusta out, which is why this one drinks cleanly without sugar.Can I use this in an espresso machine?Not well. It is ground for filter and cafetiere, which is a coarser grind than espresso needs, so water runs straight through the basket and you get a thin, sour shot. It works in a moka pot at a push. For espresso, buy beans and grind them yourself.Where does the coffee come from?If the current pack prints the growing countries, they will be on the back panel.Which organic certification does it carry?The product carries the organic claim in its own name, and by law that means a certifying body and code are printed on the pack. Check the pack you receive. We do not assume Fairtrade, Rainforest Alliance or Soil Association marks from the organic claim.What water temperature should I use?Around 94 degrees Celsius, which in practice is a boiled kettle left to stand for thirty to forty seconds. Water straight off the boil scalds the grounds and drags out the bitter compounds first; water much below ninety leaves the cup sour and thin.How long do I brew it for?Four minutes in a cafetiere, three to four in a filter machine. Break the crust at four minutes, skim the foam off the top, plunge slowly, then decant the lot into a jug or a second mug so it stops extracting.How many cups does a 250g pack make?Roughly thirty-five small cups at 7g each, or about twenty full mugs if you brew at cafetiere strength. That is worked out from the pack weight, not a figure printed by the brand.Does it work as iced coffee?Yes, if you brew it double strength and pour it over a full glass of ice rather than brewing it normally and chilling it. The nut and cocoa notes hold up cold; the gentle acidity means it does not turn sharp the way a bright African filter roast can.How should I store it once it is open?Reseal the pack or decant it into an airtight tin, keep it in a cupboard away from the hob, and use it within a few weeks. Do not keep ground coffee in the fridge or freezer in a pack you open repeatedly: it collects moisture and the aroma goes first.How much caffeine is in a cup?It is a caffeinated coffee, and a mug of filter coffee sits well above a mug of tea. If you need an exact number, read the current pack.Does it take milk?A splash, yes. A milky mug, not really. The cup is built around a nut and cocoa middle with very little acidity to cut through dairy, so a heavy pour of milk flattens it. If you want a coffee that stands up to a lot of milk, a darker high-street style blend is the better buy. ## Ingredients & Nutrition IngredientProportionWhat it bringsOrganic arabica coffee, roasted and ground100%The whole of the cup.

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. ## Flavour Science The flavour of Löfbergs Organic 100% Arabica Ground Coffee, 250g is built in three layers, and reading them in order explains exactly why the cup tastes the way it does from the first lift of steam to the last swallow.The outer layer is aromatic: toasted nut, warm cereal and a faint sweetness that reads as biscuit. Those compounds are made in the roaster, not in the field, and they sit loosely on the surface of the ground coffee, which is why a freshly opened pack smells so much stronger than one that has been standing open for a month. Grinding multiplies the surface area, so a ground coffee loses this layer far faster than a bean does. It is also why the first cup from a new pack tastes noticeably livelier than the last cup from an old one, even brewed identically.The flavour spike arrives mid palate, where the arabica sugars and the roast carry the weight. Here you get the cocoa depth and the rounded body, with the acidity kept low and soft so nothing snaps at the sides of the tongue. This is the stretch of the cup that a longer brew develops most, and the stretch that a scalding pour damages first. It is best drunk black or with a splash; a milky mug buries the cocoa entirely because there is not enough acidity in this roast to cut through dairy.The base structure is the lingering finish: dry, clean and short, with very little bitterness left sitting on the tongue. That dry close is the Nordic house signature and it is what makes the coffee easy to drink twice in a morning rather than once. A well made cup should still be pleasant on the final mouthful, not just the first, and the test for this one is whether the finish stays clean as the mug cools.Getting it right in the cup. Use 7 to 8g per small cup, or 12 to 15g per mug, and brew for four minutes in a cafetiere or three to four minutes in a filter machine with water at about 94 degrees Celsius. Under-dosing is the most common reason this coffee tastes thin: people fix a weak cup by brewing it longer, which pulls the bitter compounds instead of the sweet ones, when the real answer is more coffee and the same time. Decant as soon as it is brewed; coffee left standing on its grounds or sitting on a filter machine hotplate keeps cooking and turns dull and stewed within ten minutes. Sealed and kept cool and dark, an unopened pack holds its character until the printed date, but once opened the aroma fades in weeks rather than months.How water and temperature change it. The same grounds give a measurably different cup depending on how you treat the water. Hotter water and a longer brew pull more of the heavy, dark-roast compounds for a fuller, more bitter and more drying result; cooler water or a shorter brew keeps the nut and cereal notes forward and the body lighter but risks a sour, under-extracted edge. Hard tap water flattens the sweetness and makes the finish chalky, so in a hard water area a filter jug or a slightly finer dose restores the balance, while very soft water lets the acidity ring clearer and needs a touch less contact time. None of this is a fault in the coffee, it is the same grounds responding to the cup you build around them, and once you know which way you like it the result is repeatable every time. ## Recipe Ideas Löfbergs Organic 100% Arabica Ground Coffee, 250g is a filter grind, so every build below is an immersion or drip method rather than an espresso one. Six builds cover the weekday cafetiere mug, a jug for four, cold brew and the Swedish fika pot.

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. 6 min + chill 1 glass Easy You'll need 20g Löfbergs Organic 100% Arabica 200ml just boiled water, rested A full glass of ice A splash of milk, optional Method 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. 12 hrs 4 glasses Easy You'll need 80g Löfbergs Organic 100% Arabica 500ml cold water A lidded jar A paper filter or fine sieve Method 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. 10 min 2 cups Easy You'll need 16g Löfbergs Organic 100% Arabica 400ml water at about 94 degrees Cinnamon buns or almond biscuits Two small cups, not mugs Method 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. 7 min 1 mug Easy You'll need 12g Löfbergs Organic 100% Arabica 1 teaspoon cocoa powder 50ml hot milk or oat milk Honey to taste, optional Method 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. --- _Content available under teas.co.uk citation contract.
