A Finn here. I couldn't agree more about the coffee after lunch, it's consistently my favorite moment of the day. Also our two 10-20 minute daily breaks at work in Finland are literally called coffee breaks (kahvitauko)
I love your coffee "piste" in your apartment! ❤❤❤ I don't live in Helsinki anymore, but I've recognized your house and it's amazing; I've lived in that same building several years before I moved to the country side!
You could do The same about Helsinki 1940 to 1952 Olympic Games ! The Stadium was build ready for 1940 Games - but IT took 12 long years to host The Games ! The torch was given to Helsinki at Berlin 1938 Games - but what happened then... 12 years IS a long time to stay in shape and some didn't Make IT - at ALL !
Lovely video! Thank you so much! Now it is season for your next Finnish conscious, mindfully enjoyed addiction - to be obsessed about sunsets and to really savour them - from now to mid January the sun sets for more than an hour (when I was in a Mediterranean country I was so disappointed, as the sun just "plopped" into the horizon, and that was that) - In Finland sunrise is long, shifting and gorgeous, too. Take a bus or a tram if you can, when you commute, not the Metro, so you don't miss a daily sun-meditation. The sun in Finland when near the horizon, is not too bright to look at now, and it really lifts your spirits - and if it mostly is fully cloudy, then it sure feels like a dear friend shows up after "long time no see". Embrace the beauty of sunsets and sunrises! I call it sun-basking. So I wish you amazing colourful moments! Be ready at 8 am and 15.30 pm. Sending gratitude for your visual and verbal telling about your Finland!
Yeah, I don't really drink coffee or Tea and it caused a lot of issues on my personal and professional life. After I got bored of explaining that I have no real reason for it, both drinks just taste like shit I chose coffee as my drink. I still demand to pour it myself though. I add at least 50 percent milk, and a lot of sugar to make it tolerable.
I think a bit of Finnish coffee culture has been lost with the filter coffee. In the 50's it took at least some work to get a good cup of coffee. First to get the cream (people didn't use milk), you had to milk the cow and use a separator. Then you had to grind the coffee beans yourself. Then boil them in the coffee pot. So the coffee had much more fats and flavor on it. You would pour the coffee from your cup to a plate, put a piece of sugar between your teeth and slurp coffee through it. This is how my grandparents still drunk it (except they didn't milk the cow anymore...) Pastries, cookies and pulla played a big part of the experience. Filter coffee isn't bad, but it isn't quite the same.
The interesting quirky aspect to Finns and coffee is that we drink mostly light roast coffee and we're the only country in the world that prefer light roast over dark roast. The bulk coffees in Finland are almost all light roast. Visiting your grandma, you'll be given light roast. Work meeting? Light roast. Grab a takeaway coffee at the fuel station? Light roast. Which means that when a foreigner visits Finland, they usually complain that our coffee tastes awful. In reality, they have been drinking dark roast their entire life and light roast just tastes different. Light roast is less forgiving with the bean quality and it's quite common for some people to put too much coffee grounds into the filter. Dark roast leads to you tasting the roasting process, light roast leads to tastes of the actual bean itself.
It's much more the fact that pan / filter coffee is a relative rarity outside northern Europe & America, and espresso-based and French press and other types are far more popular in general. Some countries even prefer cold to hot. And the difference between espresso & plain pan coffee is far greater than the difference between different roast levels for pan coffee. It doesn't help that typical Finnish coffee quality regardless of any roast level is comparable to Nescafe instant coffee. Any comparable Swedish version is at least 8000 times better.,
Just perfect video for today.. This morning i woke up to realize i forgot to buy coffee yesterday. Having to go to walk dogs without having usual first 2 cups of coffee made me worry do i end up on evening papers headlines if i see other people on that walk.. "A man assaulted 3 innocent walkers..2 of them in insentive care" 😂😂😂 Coffein is a drug 😂😮
I'm a simple Finn. If there's coffee around, I'll drink it. And drink it, and drink it. No milk, no sugar, just black filtered coffee all day long. I easily drink 1-1,5 liters of coffee per day. I do have the advantage that caffeine does pretty much nothing for me because I'm ADHD. It's too mild of a stimulant for my brain to get stimulated by. It does make me sleepy at night though.
It was rationed and coffee was last thing that was. Interestingly once supply was stable there was special tax on coffee (above designated ration) which was quite steep and let to explosion of artisanal smuggling of coffee and other heavily taxed goods from Sweden.
Hi! I would like to ask you with English it's possible to find jod in hospitality I am thinking to move please your advice .I am in hospitality industry thanks.
it's hard to get a permanent job in finland if you don't speak ANY finnish, but in bigger tourist destinations like helsinki and rovaniemi you can find hospitality positions where you use primarily english.
I can not emphasize this enough, you must learn to speak the language as fluently as possible. It is the biggest barrier to any job in Finland, in every industry.
atleast in modern days brand and roast level are things that affects what coffee are you buying. Nobody sane person ever buys löfbergs coffee, its expensive and have horrible taste. Juhla mokka over all.
The quality of production in these videos is amazing. Keep it up!
From a coffee addict ,this was incredible content. I'd watched while sipping my dear morning coffee ☕️ ❤ have a nice day
Interesting archive material at the beginning

Kun kerta tarjolla on niin sitä myös juotahan
A coffee break at work is also a good moment to talk with your collegues around the same table everything else except the actual job.
You really know finnish culture.
5:33 Great visual storytelling here! This part could also play as an ad for Finland.
Oh I love that coffee pot setting you got there, especially that sign. Also love just how warm your home feels like.
Bro you got it 💯 Great storytelling, quality of the production, good content ✌️👍

Three to four cups if I'm on days off, three to five when I'm working. Finland is a coffee drinking nation and its very much a part of the culture.

No, quite opposite. It's very much a part of the culture, not apart of it.
@@MetallicMutalisk Typo there.
@@Jay_Kay666 thats a violation againts coffee D:
One of the best coffee related videos I'v ever seen. Amazing slogan too, any coffee is better than no coffee. Love it.
Good video to watch while taking a break and drinking a cup of fresh coffee. Thanks again and keep up with the good videos.
👩🏻🌾🍁🌃☺️🫖☕
Hello there, Chico!
Great quality and content once again! Thank you!
Superb as always 💕

I brew pan coffee. You don't have to drink filtered coffee. There are beans in shops, you can roast them and grind them exactly how you like.
@@JakeKilka Of course you can.
the scenes inside of ur home are just amazing!!!
Well done. Liked and shared :)

Coffein is a drug 😂😮
One or two cups a day. I was without coffee for 20 years 😊
This was a great video :)

One cup of a coffee is not enough, drink more, drink 4 cups a day and youll see huge diffrence, you wont be tired at all if you keep drinking coffee
Until your body gets used to it and now amount of coffee keeps you up but you keep drinking from habit.
Good video man!
