Hot & Honorable

Swerl

Swerl offers outstanding value for money with a producer first single origin program roasted light and precisely, yielding clean, sweet cups and striking steadiness across seasons. Labels are plainspoken and traceable, keeping farm, process, and lot in clear view. The only missing piece is a dedicated coffee bar, which under our criteria keeps the recognition just shy of the very top tier for now

Background

Founded in Falkenberg in 2019 by Beatriz (a sommelier) and Daniel (an aircraft technician), Swerl began as a 1972 Mercedes mobile coffee bar by the beach, serving Scandinavian specialty roasters before moving into its own production on a Giesen in 2022. The philosophy is producer first and seasonal, with clearly identified single origin lots and light, precise roasting aimed at sweetness, clarity, and place. After a period in Lisbon working within specialty coffee, the team returned to Sweden, scaled the roastery, added quality control tools like a color sorter, and in 2024 was ranked among the Top 100 Specialty Coffee Roasters; in March 2025 they took second place at Nordic’s Best Roasters. In mid 2025 Swerl moved into a new harbour area facility in Falkenberg, and a coffee bar is currently under construction to connect roasting and service under one roof.

Panel evaluation

Cups land bright and sweet with tidy finishes and a calm, tea like feel; filter shows clear lines and espresso reads transparent rather than heavy. The lineup is strongly single origin with classic washed and clean naturals at the core, while occasional special lots add lift without pushing process ahead of place. Packaging and product pages keep the producer easy to spot and list variety, process, harvest, and lot in plain language, so the story matches what is in the cup. As seasons turn, the style holds its shape with improving polish.
