Swedish KOKKAFFE – sustainable camp coffee for life under the bare sky
Brewing coffee outdoors is more than a habit - it’s a tradition. With Swedish KOKKAFFE, Light My Fire brings Nordic camp coffee culture into the present, offering a sustainable, ethical, and small-scale produced coffee from Honduras, created for slow brewing over open fire and quiet moments in nature.
Swedish KOKKAFFE stands apart from many other options on the market. It is a medium-roasted, nuanced, and well-balanced camp coffee, developed to highlight the coffee’s natural flavors - unlike traditionally dark-roasted camp coffees, which are often heavier and more bitter. Swedish KOKKAFFE is crafted with a focus on responsible sourcing, craftsmanship and low environmental impact.
What is camp coffee (kokkaffe)?
Camp coffee is a classic Nordic brewing method where coarsely ground coffee gently simmers in water. The method requires no filters or single-use products and is perfectly suited for outdoor life, camping and cooking over an open fire. The result is a full-bodied yet smooth coffee and a brewing ritual that encourages slowing down and savoring the moment.
Ethical and organic coffee from Honduras
Swedish KOKKAFFE comes from COMICOVEL Organic, a cooperative of small-scale coffee farmers in Honduras. The farms are located in the Opalaca Mountains, where producers work organically with a strong focus on biodiversity, forest conservation, and sustainable water management. The cooperative is part of the Blue Harvest Project, an initiative that has helped more than 1,400 producers in Central America develop their farms into sustainable ecosystems. All coffee is organically produced, enabling farmers to continue investing in both their land and their future.
A coffee that reflects Light My Fire’s values
“Swedish KOKKAFFE is more than coffee — it’s an expression of our love for nature and our responsibility for how products are made,”
says Calill Odqvist Jagusch, CEO of Light My Fire.
For Light My Fire, sustainability is about the entire chain — from raw material to experience. Swedish KOKKAFFE is a natural step in exploring how food and drink can enhance outdoor life, without compromising people, nature, or the environment.
A gentle medium roast with clear terroir
(Terroir = the taste of place)
The coffee is roasted in Sweden by Solde Kafferosteri in small batches. The roast is gentle and carefully calibrated to preserve the coffee’s origin, character, and natural flavor nuances.
Flavor profile:
• Orange
• Milk chocolate
• Subtle forest notes
The coarse grind makes Swedish KOKKAFFE ideal for camp coffee and brewing over an open fire.
A sustainable coffee for outdoor life
Swedish KOKKAFFE is:
• Organically certified
• Ethically produced
• Designed for camp coffee brewing
• Perfect for camping, hiking, and outdoor cooking
It’s coffee for those who want to enjoy both the flavor — and the moment.
How to brew Swedish KOKKAFFE
Serves 6 cups: 4 cups (1 liter) water, 2 1/2 oz (70 g) ground coffee
Instructions:
Heat water in a coffee pot over the fire or on a stove. Aim for about 80°C (176°F). You’ll see small bubbles (“fish eyes”) and thin clouds of steam.
Remove the pot from the heat, add the ground coffee and stir to make sure all of the coffee is wet.
Put the lid on and let the coffee steep for 4–5 minutes.
Stir gently a few times and replace the lid.
Wait another minute for the grounds to settle.
Pour coffee carefully into cups, avoiding the grounds - a little sediment is fine.
As the coffee cools, more flavors emerge - take your time and enjoy every sip.
Swedish KOKKAFFE – more than coffee
Drinking coffee around the fire is a way to gather, share stories, and feel a sense of belonging. Swedish KOKKAFFE reminds us that the simplest things are often the best: water, coffee, fire and time together.
Swedish KOKKAFFE also marks the beginning of a new chapter for Light My Fire. Cooking under the bare sky remains at the heart of everything we do, now given new life through experiences and cooking activities where our products are truly used and come into their own. For us, the future is about more than products.
At CAMP Light My Fire in Malmö, we will host events that connect food, fire, sustainability and community. Moments for sharing skills, slowing down and exploring how we can live and eat more sustainably outdoors, together.
