We love this⊠In Scandinavia, we love coffee â so much so that we consistently top the coffee-drinking charts. We often get together with friends and relax while enjoying a bit of âfikaâ, meaning âto have coffeeâ, often accompanied with sweet treats. This month we have selected a few items for all you coffee addicts out there, so that you too can enjoy coffee the Scandinavian way. By Ingrid Opstadâ |â Press photos
