Founded in Gothenburg in 2013 by Per Nordby, Kafferäven focuses on producer first, single origin coffees roasted light for sweetness, clarity, and place, with clear labels that make origin and lot easy to read. Over the past decade they have helped shape Nordic style coffee in western Sweden by normalising transparent communication, seasonal menus, and open cuppings, influencing many roasteries and coffee bars.
Founded in Gothenburg in 2013 by Per Nordby, Kafferäven grew from a small, relationship-driven importing and roasting project into a steady reference for clean, light Nordic style cups. The philosophy is simple and consistent: buy from producers they know, keep lots clearly identified, favor classic processing, and roast to show sweetness, clarity, and place rather than roast character. Today the team runs a roastery and shop alongside a compact coffee bar and workshop in the Slakthuset district, tying sourcing, roasting, and service together with producer first communication.
