I have never heard of this. No idea where they got it from.
We did do butter in coffee for a short while but I believe that ended a while back.
No, that’s a Finnish thing
Never seen it nor heard of it.
I have never ever ever even considered adding cheese to my coffee. Nor have I met anybody who has ever had the thought of adding cheese to their coffee. If this is a thing? It’s like way up in the northern part of Sweden. ‘Cus that’s where all the weirdos of Sweden live. That, and Stockholm.
Pretty sure it’s a Sami tradition.
> juustoleipä
Such a Swedish word…
Please ask Indonesia why they make coffee from literal catpoop
Water from mountain creeks lack minerals and coffe made from it taste awful. Adding cheese adds salt and makes the taste better. Note the weird cup /”kåsa” in the picture. Common when hiking.
This is not a common way of drinking coffee but a trick if you have to spend time in the mountains far up north.
To have filter coffee, without cheese in it, is probably way more common. However, I have heard of the tradition to put some specific cheese in it, but suspect it mostly occurs in the northern parts of Sweden such as Meänmaa.
I’ve heard of it but never tried it.
Gáffevuostá (kaffeost), it is a cheese originally made from reindeer milk.
How can Kipu Luwak “consist” of something that’s already been eaten by someone else? Does that mean it’s plain coffee? Could someone from Indonesia explain it?
Mainly a thing in northern sweden, though it isn’t called “juustoleipä”- that’s finnish.
It is delicious… according to coffee drinking friends.
A typically northern thing.
Affogato though, is amazing and so easy to make. It’s a dessert obviously, not really a coffee.
Its a tradition in the most northern regions of Sweden and Finland. Here is the wiki for Kaffeost, and it lists many names for it except the one I grew up with… “gnek-ost”. https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaffeost
mmm…vietnamesiskt äggkaffe. Så jäkla gott.
Kaffeost är vanligt i Tornedalen och norra Finland. Antingen äter man osten på sidan av som substitut till kaffebröd, eller så har man den i kaffet. Skulle inte säga att det är något som karaktäriserar kaffedrixkandet i hela Sverige så som vanligt har denna typ av informativa bild helt enkelt fel.
Smälter man snö får man vatten som är destillerat, och gör kaffet trist i smaken. En bit ost eller en skiva torkat kött i kåsan ger kaffet mineraler och en angenämare smak.
100 % accurate and most Swedish families usually have their own secret cheese blend (mine uses milk from highland cattle). Correct name is ”ost-fika”
Never heard of that.
Would have been more fitting with coffe on the saucer.
But. No one’s drinking coffe that way any longer either…
Never in my life seen or heard anything of the sort. Based on the word “juustoleipä”, I’d wager that whoever made the picture had Sweden confused with Finland.
Kaffe med ost i? Urk…
My parents buy a special coffee cheese once in a while, it’s a bit softer and melts a bit when you pour coffee on it.
Very much a northern thing, perhaps from the finnish side.

that’s finnish, and not very popular at that

Not as weird as to put [Torrkött](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/–vNXOhmBZCs/T-oAkVnPOKI/AAAAAAAAMAM/NDYUvsR_svc/s640/blogger-image-1767026577.jpg) in it. Preferably the meat should have a line of fat on the side.
That one is probably sami.
Never heard anyone drink that, ever.
Never heard of it, and juustoleipä is NOT a Swedish word. Sounds more finnish than anything else.
Hey, I brew my coffee with a filter made from an IKEA bag just as everybody else here in Sweden!
