In Stockholm? You have Sosta in Vasastan, that makes great espresso. Drop Coffe in Södermalm, they roast themselves. Also Kaffe in Södermalm. But Sthlm is a really good coffe city, with lots of good roasters and cafés. The list could be long...  A lot of them also sell online if you're in Europe and want to try some.

Oh nice, but I mean say coffee beans(not grinded coffee) planted in your country.

New study from European Society of Cardiology from April, 2020 is reporting following:
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/04/200422214101.htm

"Unfiltered coffee contains substances which increase blood cholesterol. Using a filter removes these and makes heart attacks and premature death less likely."

"Filtered brew was also less risky than the unfiltered beverage for death from any cause, death due to cardiovascular disease, and deaths from heart attacks."

Since my go-to brewing method is French press, I've decided to try the paper-filter method for now.  I've ordered the hand-drip/paper filter conraption from Kalita and started using paper filter for my cold-brew maker.

Coffee beans are made by a tree.
They want all of us buy Monsanto ''coffee''.

I stopped using paper filter the paper has a fine powder and is white, white paper is bleached with acid. Now I have 3 filters, copper screen, nylon screen and wire mesh(seems steel).

[Rusty Jefferson]

The Pour over filters are easily available unbleached, and are compostable along with the grounds.

I have been on a big homemade cold brew kick the last couple weeks. Good quality dark roast Central or South American beans and 24 hour brew in the pitcher just left on the counter.. I usually go for the chocolate, molasses, carmely note roasts. Holy crap is it good.

Also on the subject of filter choice, it's fine mesh filters all the way. I think it just tastes better with the oils and micro sediment that you wouldn't get with paper filters of any variety.

I’ll drink 3-5 espresso in the morning.

Well, that should get you going....

Hmm, had no idea... Well luckily for me I'm already a filter guy.

Oh yes! Have to wait just a couple of hours now, and then I'll bring out the ice and have myself a glass och caramely, slightly chocolaty cold brew from Hondurian fair trade beans.

Oh nice, but I mean say coffee beans(not grinded coffee) planted in your country.

Oh I don't know of any coffee actually grown in Sweden. Not really the right climate (yet...).

Thanks Vilding its too bad for the paople, I suppose the prices are hi for imported coffee.

There are worse things.    Looks delicious.

It is... I pay 7-12€ for 250g of quality beans...  So my daily driver is a pretty decent big box-brand. Still fair trade, single origin. Just not always as fresh and a little less complex than the really good stuff.

[FullRangeMan]

Iam paying $10 per kilo for my favorite in beans, very intense flavor, there is other more expensives but I dont like these brands. Here is a demo:

In this site I like this type:

There is even a cafe that is just grains already consumed and defecated by a Jacú bird.

Kinda envious right now.... 

I made iced coffe a la James Hoffman yesterday with the Yirgacheffe. It was a small revelation.... So good! Defenitely different from cold brew. Not better across the line, but for really light, fruity coffees, I'd absolutely recommend it.

Hehe we don't exactly get off cheap here as well...

[S Clark]

I usually pay around $5-6 per pound, so  $11-12 per kilo for green coffee, another $1 per pound shipping, and roast it myself.   Yirgacheffe is a favorite, along with Indian Mysore, and Tanzanian. 

[Philistine]

I'm still roasting - our good friend Satfrat (who some of you may remember) introduced me to Paradise Coffee Roasters, they sell both roasted and green beans. 
https://paradiseroasters.com
I'm currently roasting Espresso Nuevo and Blacksmith Blend.

[S Clark]

Glad you mentioned Satfrat.  Haven't talked to him in a while.  Think I'll send him an email to see how he's doing. 
I've been using Burman Coffee for many years... good quality,big selection,  and more reasonable than Sweet Maria's or Paradise.

[Philistine]

I like Burman Jumpstart, they have great tea also - plus Jon Burman is a great guy to work with.  Paradise has some very special and exotic coffee's, they're a step up from Burman and Sweet Maria's. 
My 'everyday' espresso remains Malabar Monsoon Gold from the coffee project:
https://coffeeproject.com/india-josuma-s-proprietary-espresso-blend-malabar-gold.html
I've been buying this for years and send a lb to Satfrat now and then, he likes the smoothness when brewed in his Aeropress.  My 'special' espresso has become Nuevo Espresso from Paradise, it's a great base for cappuccino.  Paradise's Blacksmith blend is very similar to Jumpstart, I give a slight preference to Blacksmith.
