The most Finnish way to respond to a 'want a cup of coffee' at someone's home is to be a bit bashful and say that well you don't have to go through all that trouble just for me, but if you're making some coffee anyway, I'd love some... And everyone knows that means a resounding yes please, coffee here now! Love your stuff on us Finns. :) Also, hope you'll be able to come to Finland one day. It really is nice up here.

[@finnishculturalchannel]

There is a coffee culture with history, traditions and customs. Some of which are a bit on the amusing side. E.g. when the host asks the guest, if guest would like a cup of coffee, often the guest says that the host doesn't need to make coffee on his account. To which the host answers that he was just about to make some for himself. To which the guest then says that maybe he'll have a cup then-but only if the host is drinking coffee too. During celebrations the guests won't come to the set coffee table when invited. There has to be this 'battle of will' before someone from the guests agrees to be the first to come to the coffee table. You can get tea too. People usually drink tea as a evening tea.

Morning coffee, cup of coffee when you get to work, one to two coffee breaks at work. When you get home you'll drink a cup, after dinner you'll have a cup.

[@ronya_s]

Yup... I'm 48 and I've never seen in my life a home without a coffee machine. It's a first thing to bring into a new home.

[@toinenosoite3173]

Then you are in for a huge shock: I don't have a coffee machine any longer! Well, I don't drink coffee so why on earth would I have one? Nevertheless, I had one for a long time in a cupbord waiting to be used, but as it was used so seldom, it didn't make any sense to have coffee at home, and so forth...

[@DROHARM]

Yeah, coffee here in Finland is such a ritual. It applies pretty much every place and situation. I had my cup when I was 4. More milk and sugar than the actual stuff but still. My parents were happy that I was part of the ritual.

I have never liked the taste of coffee. Sometimes I drink it just to stay awake if I'm really tired but very rarely. Tea is better! I don't have a coffeemaker at home either.

[@kimreinikainen]

I don't even have the coffee machine. I just say to everyone who visit that coffee is no served here

I would not call Juhlamokka as Coffee. Ok earlier yes, but after travelling all around, just need More intense taste. Tea maybe 3-10 cups / month

Same here, no coffee for me, but has 1 coffee machine, 1 coffee press for fresh and 1 Mocca maker for my husband and guests. Iam more for tea, even Iam Finnish 😊

[@pohtech]

We usually drink coffee from a mug. Mug is like 2 cups or something like that. I personally drink about 1,5 liters per day. If i am right its about 14 cups per day or 7 mugs.

[@Susirajantakaa]

I think original coffee cup is about 1,2 dl, whilst mug is 2,5 dl or more.

[@matshjalmarsson3008]

(Swedish) I typically have 2-4 big mugs at work per day, but nothing at home, ie not in the morning, not on weekends, not when on vacation (except for when hiking/sailing etc). BTW The old Swedish way is not to use a filter, but to put a coarser ground coffee directly in the kettle and boil. It was also a thing to "drink from the saucer" where one would pour coffee on the saucer, stick a very dense sugarcube in the front of the mouth and kind of filter the coffee through the sugarcube when drinking

[@Manselikka]

I began drink coffee at age of 4 ( I’m 67 now). I still remender the faces of waiter in restorant in Italy,when I asked a cup of espresso😂😂

[@DigitalAwakening]

It's pretty much the same here in Sweden. We have great tap water. We drink a lot of filter coffee. We have 2 coffee breaks (Swedish word "fika") at work every day. And most people just drink it black. Some do drink it with milk and/or sugar or go to a café. I have a coffeemaker of the same brand that was shown in this movie. We have double version of it at my office. During hot summer days I do make cold brew at home. Hot black coffee is just so nice but you don't want it cold when you are sweating. Sometimes I drink flavored herbal tea in the evening with lemon. I don't like regular tea.

[@SK-nw4ig]

Depending what tea and what coffee one drinks. Earl grey has 30mg of caffein per cup and Juhla mokka has around 90mg of caffein per cup.

[@Jykke1978]

Yes you ask do you want coffee when someone comes to visit your home that is the way. Coffee break is break when you go in lunchroom or what you call it and drink coffee there and after that you go back in your "officecube" or where ever you work.

[@cayenigma]

I'm a natural born Finn, but I do not drink much coffee, cause caffeine causes me jitters. My family, however, drinks like 6 cups per day each and I consider that a lot, compared to me. When I started dating my bf I told my mom he is a heavy coffee drinker, cause he drank 8 cups per day. When we visited my mom, she had brewed two pots worth of coffee and put it in thermoses, and the third was brewing, so she could keep the coffee coming for him. lol

[@tanjamink6959]

I drink about 15 cup a day 😅

[@thomasbjurstrom6480]

I only have coffee in the morning with warm milk. I'm Swedish. But it's true in Sweden you drink coffee all the time. If you visit somebody you're offered coffee and something sweet, biscuits or cake etc.

[@sytytyspala]

I checked. I have 7 pack´s of Organic Juhla Mokka in my cupboard. And I used to drink about 4 liters of coffee during every working day + thermos mug on the morning 3,5 dl, now it´s more like 2 x thermos mug per day.

[@Dwarf19864]

I had 2 Juhlamokka packets, 2 that are almost identical but cheaper, and 1 dark roasted coffee... need to buy more juhlamokka tomorrow, just to be sure i don't run out of it (if i can find them on sale)

[@thedryparn1279]

I'm 75% finn and 25% swede. I drink coffee from I wake up until dawn. I don't count cups, I have a big cup that i just refill all the time during the work day, but i guess 1,5 litre per day.

[@atlachanacha]

I currently have 4 packs of Juhla Mokka, 4 packs of Kulta Katriina... In my defense, I use to have thrice as much, but high coffee prices has prevented buying more, while my supply has been dwindling.

[@dariauniverse9166]

If you compare dry weights, tea actually has more caffeine than Coffee. However, less tea is used to make drink than coffee.

[@AlmightyNorppa]

Some of us finns drink a large amount of coffee per day. Personally I drink around 4-5 a day. Not cups or mugs though, full coffee pots so.. around 12 mugs.

[@thrillyria]

Yeaaaahhh... There's pretty much coffee maker in almost every home. Even in those where people don't like coffee that much. But they'll still probably have a coffee machine so they can serve guests coffee. Every single office has at least one. In colleges and universities, even the student lounge rooms have one so students can make coffee for themselves instead of buying it. I usually drink a cup of coffee or two at home before leaving work (or a double espresso as I also own an espresso machine), have one when I arrive to the office, another when it's the morning coffee break around 10am or something, then a cup after lunch and one more at the afternoon coffee break. I may have more if I meet up for coffee with someone after work. That's a normal day. (Read: cup = mug = at least 2dl a "cup") And also, if a lunch place does not have the after lunch coffee included in the price of the lunch buffet, it's essentially a bad place and people will tell you as such just because they don't include the coffee.

[@erikpetto3672]

About the coffee; When I wake up, I need a cup of coffee. Then I need a second cup because the first wasn't enough. Then I'll have to deal with other people, so I'll need a cup for that. Then it'll be lunch, and obviously I'll have a cup of coffee after my meal. Then I'll be a bit sluggish in the afternoon, so I need a cup to perk me up. Then the evening comes, and I'll have a cup just because I enjoy it. Sometimes I enjoy some coffee outside of that schedule.

[@ronya_s]

Same for me, except I need a cup when I come home, to relax after long day. And one last cup just before going to bed to shut down my adhd brains 😅

[@dasmarkopo]

It's the same in Sweden, at home you can't start a day without coffee, and on every formal occassion there is coffee. And in every workplace there is always coffee ready.

[@momma636]

The difference in effects between caffeine and theine (often referred to as “tea caffeine”) is based on how the body absorbs and metabolizes the substance. Theine in tea is digested and assimilated more slowly, which results in a more sustained concentration without the side effect of nervousness. Caffeine from coffee is absorbed more quickly, providing an immediate energy boost. Additionally, a cup of coffee contains about four times more of this molecule compared to a cup of tea, contributing to its faster and stronger effect. So, while chemically caffeine and theine are the same molecule, it’s the rate of absorption and the amount present in the drink that create the difference in how we experience them.

[@irishflink7324]

My Doctor asked me if I drink alot of Coffee and I said if I don't drink Coffee in the evening I will wake up in the night needing Coffee so In the night I make Coffee and drink it and go back to sleep my Doctor said you have passed over the sleeping problem

Also our village, Runni, has nationally famous spring, village name comes from Swedish word for spring, which has lot healthy minerals and metals, and the water actually has kind of rusty look and strong metallic taste. There was full on spa build here which was one the favourite holiday places of lot Finnish elite like artist and also Marshal Mannerheim and his sister. spa is still there. Check Runni Spa Hotel!

Juhla mokka is not just stacked up at home but as a trucker I have visited pauligs roastery and they have a huge warehouse stacked to the roof with that and that is just one of the warehouse in helsinki are there are 2 more in greater helsinki area aaand couple smaller warehouses on important logistical hubs acros Finland. Not to mention Kesko and Inex and other smaller distributors have their own stockpile of paulig coffee. And that is just paulig roastery then there is meira roastery which has allso good chunk of market share and such have quite large stockpiles of coffee roasted and ready to be made. Other thing in abundance we have in stockpiles is toilet paper both stockpiles will last us through nuclear winter

I'm Finnish but grew up in Sweden. My favorite coffees are Löfbergs "magnifika" and "jubileum". I drink 3-4 "iittala taika" -mugs per day. Iittala taika is about 3 cups but I leave some space for cream. I always shake the cream package before use so it foams a bit 😋 I started to drink small amounts of coffee sometimes at the age of 4 and everyday when I was about 13.

Totally depends what kind of day i have. Usually if i´m home alone, i only drink 3 cups a day. But if there is something going on i might drink 7 cups a day. I don´t use sugar anymore so i put sweetener in to my coffee and ofcourse some cream. At this time i don´t have Juhla Mokka, but i have Kulta Katariina that is possibly most sold after Juhla Mokka. I like those both and it depends if there is some special offer witch i will buy. And yes, we serve coffee for the guests. Last week guests four times and every time we dinked some coffee.

More caffeine in tea than in coffee? No. Two cups of tea is like one cup of coffee, if you measure the caffeine in those two.

Tea has a higher caffeine content per gram so it depends on what you're talking about... We simply use way less tea in a mug than we use coffee. A tea bag typically contains something like 3 g of tea which is what I'll use with my 3 dl mugs. I will use 20-25 g of coffee for the same volume of water.

I was maybe around 20, when I stopped drinking coffee just to see if it would help with my migraines. It didn't, but I ended up not drinking coffee for about 20 years. Now I am drinking coffee again and usually drink about 8 dl to 1,5 l / day. I am an odd ball here, I do not have filter coffee maker nor regular coffee at home. I have a french press in case, but use mainly instat espresso and cappuccino. At work I drink filter coffee.

I stock up on coffee too, useless have 10 - 12 packs in my pantry so if I’m running low that’s the one time I be panicking. My brand of coffee is Zoegas “ Kahawa”. Coffee with a slash of mild, no sugar. About a pot per day or 6 big mugs per day. I’m Swedish by the way Yes it’s caffeine in tea as well as in coffee. To be fair, I also drink 1,5 - 2 liters of tap water per day too. We have really good water in Sweden as well

Hello, Dwayne! ☕☕ You're quite right, Dwayne, we treat coffee the way you treat tea in England. The coffee culture has changed a lot in Finland during the last decades. Today, the Italian coffee culture has become very popular. Finns, just like the other Nordic peoples, travel a lot and bring the food and drink cultures with them back home. Myself, having lived in France, don't like the traditional Nordic light-roasted coffee. I prefer dark and strong coffee that you just have a tiny cup of, and my favourite is a double espresso with lots of sugar! Consequently, I drink only one cup after lunch or dinner. The 100% arabica coffee beans are the best. By the way, the coffee that was the standard one in the U.S. (at least in Chicago in the late 1960's) was awful! It didn't have the coffee aroma nor taste that we are used to here in Europe. My guess is that it was hard-roasted or burnt; Americans had just got used to it tasting that way. The quality may of course also have been second-rate due to the cut-throat market competition over there. Another thing. Yes, the quality of the water used for making coffee - and especially tea - makes a big difference! So-called hard water, or tap water that smells of chlorine - no thanks! Luckily, today we have, according to some tests, one of the purest, if not THE purest tap water here in Finland. Many tourists have noticed this, too. There are of course many reasons for why the Finns drink so much coffee. I can think of one historical one in addition to the one that the Irish guy mentioned and it has to do with alcohol consumption. As we had a period of prohibition here in Finland, too, what else could the thirsty people do but drink coffee! Well, all kidding aside, in the prim and proper smalltown societies of the 18th and 19th hundreds, the women were the ones - not drinking any alcohol (well, perhaps a tiny glass of liqueur...) - who kept the social life going by arranging coffee and cake gatherings in their homes. (The way women in England used to arrange tea parties.) Presumably pious and irreproachable, these women kept the coffee-drinking custom alive, and the men went along, although my guess is that most of them would much have preferred a jug of beer or a bottle of whiskey instead... Also, a cup of coffee and maybe a bun, cake or even a sandwich, will give people something to do with their idle hands when meeting other people in situations that could otherwise have been a little awkward. Shy and clumsy in social situations as the Finns are considered to be, the coffee cup is something to hold on to - unless you suffer from the shaky- hand syndrome. ☕☕☕☕☕☕☕🍰

4-5 cups before lunch when at work. But i'm swedish.

[@mikakoivisto6504]

As a Finn I drink like 2 liters of coffee a day sometimes

[@mukkaar]

Finn here, sipping on Yorkshire gold proper British style, with biscuit ;D That said, I do also drink coffee, but usually that's at work or on weekends. I do try a lot of different more exotic teas and coffee beans, but my staples are Juhla mokka as beans and something like Clipper or Yorkshire.

[@JuusoAlasuutari]

My yearly coffee intake is at least 20 kg but probably below 30 kg.

[@markusautio5159]

Finland is nr 1 for sure now

[@Hybridial84]

I only have 10 Juhla Mokka and 17 Kulta Katriina packets in my cupboard.

[@Paltse]

I haven't drunk coffee since 2019. Before that I drank once in two years, back in the military I made the best coffee ever despite having drunk nary a five cups before, but that comes down to the circumstances that dictate the stronger the coffee the less sleep deprived you feel. There are varieties in teas aswell in relation to caffeine levels. Green tea has most I believe was the thing said back in 2012.

[@merlizzavaan]

I am a finn and don't like coffee.😅 But that's true that it is a BIG thing in Finland. Every time someone offers me coffee, I get really weird looks from them because I said no. 😂

[@janica_macjane_84]

The fact today is that coffee is very expencive, and when theres sale for 3 packs for one, we buy it, and thats why i got like 10 packs in the kitchen, just that i dont need to buy it that expencive... and for many in my family dont drink coffee at all, but liking tea.. and we sell lot of tea as well... 👍

[@jarimarttinen579]

1% of world coffee production comes to a Finland. (We don't grow coffee). And we present less than 0.1% of the world population.

[@dreamwithouttears8293]

I am finnish and people look me like "what is wrong with you" when i say that i dont drink coffee. If i drink something "fine" its tea. I think that coffee is pitter and i dont like it so much. Its smell amazing and in some fancy cakes its so good. I think that my brain and day is only mess if i learn drink it. I have too much energy even without drinkin it.

[@butterbean9011]

Can`t even go toilet without couple pint of coffee

[@IdilleI97]

i have 4 packs of juhla mokka in my cupboard. Had to buy cuz they were on sale :D

[@Ladrosify]

I consume tea, and lots of it. Yorkshire ❤

[@sakijarvinen6761]

I don't like Juhla Mokka myself. It's just colored water. I like Kulta Katriina or Löfberg coffee with dark roast level 3 and up.

[@suvikivioja298]

in work whe have coffee break and after that lunch break

[@MartaIngvarsson]

Omg that so few cups 😂 i drink about 12-15 /day 😂😂😂 so im a "coffieswede"

[@jennymalmiola324]

I'm a Finn who doesn't drink coffee. I love the smell of coffee but I hate the taste. And it's been a pain in my ass. Sometimes people refuse to believe me. They interrogate what kind of coffee I've tasted. They are sure I've done something wrong. If I'm visiting someone, they of course ask if I want some coffee. My answer is always "no thank you". They panic. "Would you like some tea?" Again I answer "no thank you" because people rarely know how to make good tea. More panic. "I don't know what else to offer you!" "Just a glass of water, please." A glass of water is what I genuinely like but now the host feels like they've somehow totally failed in the eyes of their fore-fathers. Also, drinking coffee or tea doesn't have to be fancy. It's still a culture.

[@heirantala]

I dont buy juhlamokka because i like dark roasted coffee. I think juhla Mokka tastes like water. I drink it If offered but i dont buy it.

[@Gibbetoo]

2 or 3 cups of tea at morning at winter, then some during the day... at night 2 or 3 cups. at summer not that much.

[@evawettergren7492]

I don't drink coffee. Never have. (Do like the smell of it though, and coffee flavoured ice cream. Just not the beverage.) I do drink tea. However, I used to have an issue with the "would you like a cup of tea" offer... because, yes, I would, but only if you have honey I can put in it. Not sugar. Not milk. Just honey. Usually, they don't have honey. But, I have learned to make do and if they don't have honey I will just go without any addatives. Just plain tea then.

[@ljooni]

I don't drink coffee too often, most stuff gives me horrible heartburn. But I do indulge on a fancy cup in a cafe once in a while. Still, tea is my daily drink. Will rarely order in in a cafe tho bc yuck, they make it like coffee in Finland, in a drip machine. I only order tea if I know I can steep it myself and not in a coffee machine water. Also, no coffee machine in this house but mysteriously I DO have coffee filters o.O

[@jorezaqqer3510]

Got 6 kilos of coffee. 3 of juhlamokka and 3 of some random firstaid coffee if juhlamokka ends suddenly. 4 cups a day

[@sepposimola7352]

I am 47 years old Finnish and haven't even tasted coffee.😊

[@Morhgoz]

I hate filtered coffee, me stomach doesn't like it! I love coffee made in in metal kettle, either of stove or over the fire, latter is the superior method or made in presso... Coffee needs to sit with the grounded beans at least 5-8 minutes. also I add pinch of salt to presso or the kettle always, makes it more smooth. Also sometimes some spices like cinnamon, cardemum or/and allspice...

[@jennifer1329]

Finnish by birth, now expat. I make a mugful (12 oz = 3.5 dl) in the morning always, and most days another mugful in the afternoon, about 2 o'clock. Unlike Finns, though, I much prefer medium roast and I make it strong.
