Solberg og Hansen, Mathallen Oslo

One could say, I deeply enjoy a good cuppa (that's a cup of coffee to you non-Americans out there) made right, dare I say darn near perfect, every single time. I know I am not alone here when I say this, which is why places such as Solberg og Hansen exist.

Solberg og Hansen are "the"coffee and tea experts in Norway. They get it right, every single time. So one would expect that their outpost in Mathallen Oslo functions with the same obsessive quality standards one might expect from a high quality coffee and tea distributor in one of the most coffee loving nations on planet earth (Don't believe me? Check out this post from the Norwegian Coffee Association). And the good thing is, their location in Mathallen Oslo is just as quality obsessed as can be.

Hooray  - yippie! Let's bust out the coffee mugs and dance a jigg. Oh yeah - happy days my friends, happy days.

Øyvind and I enjoying two (jet) black coffees and some  Michel Cluizel chocolate. Quite possibly the best cup of coffee I've ever had.

Love those lamps - and the whole design of this place. Simple but sleek.

Awards everywhere and some of their coffee varieties which are sold in 250 gram bags. Not a huge coffee fan? I recommend the Black Coffee variety - they say sweet, I say non-bitter. Perfect for people who don't like coffee.

Again with the lights. I know  - I'm obsessed.

My friends - this is how is begins. Place your order at the cash register, and watch how your cuppa is made.

So here we go. First things first, set everything in place. See the silver looking scale to the right? They use that to test the temperature of the hot water before they pour it on your beans. All this attention to detail - just for you.
