Ask the expert: What makes Sweden such a coffee culture?

This week's episode of Sweden in Focus Extra features an interview with Henrik Scander, senior lecturer in Culinary Arts at Örebro University. Advertisement Our guest this week is also a specialist on coffee, the hot drink of choice in a country where the habit of consuming coffee and cake is so ingrained that it has sparked global interest in Swedish fika culture. But just how central is fika to social and workplace life in Sweden, what's the quality of the coffee like in comparison to other countries, and why are Swedes so loyal to the regional coffee brands that are dotted around the country? These are just some of the things The Local's Nordic editor Richard Orange spoke about with Henrik Scander in a conversation they had earlier this April.
