We believe coffee has the power to bring people together 💚 At Espresso House, our coffee shops are designed as cozy meeting places where a simple cup of coffee sparks connection and conversation. That’s why we launched our CupTogether initiative in 2022. Since then, we’ve been dedicated to breaking the stigma around loneliness and fostering meaningful connections – one cup at a time. Together with our guests, we donated around 1 million SEK in 2022 and approximately 1.3 million SEK in 2023 to important social causes. Our mission continues as we strive to bring people closer and support our communities. You can join the movement by enjoying your favorite coffee in a CupTogether cup. Simply ask your barista for the green cup to show you’re open to chatting with a fellow guest. The cup isn’t just a conversation starter – it’s also a beautifully designed keepsake! Bring one home to support local organizations working to reduce loneliness in all five of our markets. Learn more at your local shop or visit the link below. Let’s make a difference together – one cup at a time. ☕ https://lnkd.in/deZgYSFH

Yesterday was quite the day at Espresso House! At the Stockholm office, we hosted the Espresso House Cup 2024 where teams from all markets competed in the classic coffee disciplines: latte art, speed latte, and cupping. On top of that, the teams also helped develop a drink that might be featured on our menus next year!   The biggest congratulations to the Norweigan team, Cecilie, Adrian, and Karoline from Oslo. The team won the golden trophy, a trip to the La Marzocco Acadamia in Florence next spring, but also the (very important) bragging rights for the coming year! 🏆 Our friends at Oatly stopped by and helped us create an amazing day with all sorts of challenges and competitions for those of us not lucky enough to have qualified for the real deal. #espressohouse #EHCUP

The Allegra European Coffee Symposium is being held in Berlin, bringing together leaders from Europe’s coffee and hospitality sectors. This prestigious event offers valuable business insights and fosters meaningful connections within the industry. Yesterday Petra Dahlman, Franchise & Business Development Officer, and Nikolas Niebuhr, Country Manager for Germany, were invited to speak on: “The Espresso House Story: From 1996 and Beyond.” Their presentation focuses on the brand’s history, coffee heritage, drink innovations, and the positive reception of Espresso House in Germany since its establishment in 2018. "The key to Espresso House’s success in Germany starts with our fantastic people and culture," says Nikolas Niebuhr. "Combine that with our cozy, homey atmosphere and a menu blending Swedish and German favorites, and you get something truly unique for the German market."

Fighting Loneliness Together, One Cup at a Time... and One Step at a Time! ☕ Loneliness is a growing concern worldwide and in Denmark, over 470,000 people experience loneliness each year, and we’re committed to helping change that. Marching for Change 💚 To support this cause, we proudly participated in the March Against Loneliness, an initiative by Ensomhed Danmark (Loneliness Denmark) aimed at raising awareness and funds for those affected. From August to October, our team covered over 2,200 kilometers across 98 municipalities in Denmark, rallying for change. Making an Impact 💚 For every Danish krone raised, we contributed half to Ensomhed Danmark and TUBA Danmark, an organization that supports young people impacted by family addiction. To keep spirits high during the march, our coffee shops welcomed participants with warm cups of coffee, fueling their journey with every sip. Celebrating Our Success 💚 Thanks to the dedication of our colleagues and the generous support of the community, we’re thrilled to announce that we helped raise over DKK 300,000 for this important cause. We look forward to continuing this journey, making a difference one step, and one cup at a time.

Plant-Based: A New Standard 🌱   At Espresso House, we aim for half of our menu to be plant-based or have a green option. In 2023, we achieved 57%!   💚But why the focus on plants? Well it's a win-win! Our guests want more plant-based options, and it's better for the environment. Shifting to a plant-based diet can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Curious to try our latest plant-based treat? We highly recommend our limited edition Pumpkin Bun! Deep dive into our initiatives in our 2023 Sustainability Report here: https://lnkd.in/d-bKd2PT
