With a year ahead of us in New Zealand, we set out to find the right idea. It was there that we discovered specialty coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\" data-start=\"254\" data-end=\"721\" class=\"\"\u003eLike many before us, we were captivated by its depth and the vibrant, welcoming community that surrounded it. That was the moment we knew we had found the direction we had been searching for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\" data-start=\"723\" data-end=\"1052\" class=\"\"\u003eIn 2019, Swerl officially began in Falkenberg, Sweden. We converted a 1972 Mercedes bus into a mobile coffee bar, which we stationed by the beach during the summer months. In those early days, we served coffee from some of Sweden’s leading roasters - Koppi, Drop, and Morgon - guided by a deep commitment to quality and traceability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\" data-start=\"1054\" data-end=\"1487\" class=\"\"\u003eAs the seasons changed, we spent the winter of 2019\/2020 in Lisbon, where Beatriz is originally from. There, we deepened our understanding of specialty coffee while working at Buna and collaborating with Nomad Coffee. When the pandemic struck, we returned to Falkenberg, uncertain of what the future would hold. Despite those uncertainties, our commitment to coffee never wavered. When summer returned, so did our rolling coffee bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\" data-start=\"1489\" data-end=\"1809\" class=\"\"\u003eBy 2021, Swerl had grown from a team of two to five amazing people during the summer months. That same year, we took the next major step - purchasing a second-hand 15kg Giesen roaster. With Daniel’s technical background, we spent the following year refining our roasting process, always aiming to uphold the highest standards of quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\" data-start=\"1811\" data-end=\"2312\" class=\"\"\u003eIn early 2022, we launched our own roastery. With new branding designed by Andreas Pedersen, we gained greater control over the entire process - from sourcing and roasting to connecting with equally passionate and quality-minded individuals all over the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\" data-start=\"1811\" data-end=\"2312\" class=\"\"\u003eWe began working closely with passionate producers, ensuring that each batch of coffee expressed the seasonality and unique characteristics of its origin. Through detailed sourcing, sampling, and quality control protocols, we continued to refine our consistency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\" data-start=\"2314\" data-end=\"2554\" class=\"\"\u003eBy 2023, as Swerl grew, we moved into a larger facility for the roastery that supported improved workflows and the addition of new equipment, including a color sorter to help us remove quakers, burnt, and broken beans with greater precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\" data-start=\"2314\" data-end=\"2554\" class=\"\"\u003eThis year, we also decided to close our coffee-shops and focus solely on the roastery. While most of our staff was only hired during summer-time, we had the pure luck of having the star Gisela Subirats deciding to stay in our team at the roastery, which now only consisted of Daniel and Beatriz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\" data-start=\"2556\" data-end=\"2918\" class=\"\"\u003eIn 2024, as a team of three, our dedication was recognised when Swerl was ranked 47th in the\u003cspan\u003e top 100 speciality coffee roasters\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eby an international jury panel curated by Roastful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\" data-start=\"2556\" data-end=\"2918\" class=\"\"\u003eAs Swerl kept growing, we started once again looking for a new location to our roastery - one that could encompass our somewhat larger operations and our wish to reconnect with our guests. We found the perfect location for it near the harbour in Falkenberg, close to the beach where we first stood with our Mercedes Benz bus serving coffee. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\" data-start=\"2556\" data-end=\"2918\" class=\"\"\u003eThis space needed a very big clean up, as it was the room for the heating facilities for a an old factory, long ago gone. In October, 2024, the process started. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\" data-start=\"2556\" data-end=\"2918\" class=\"\"\u003eThe following year, in March 2025, we were honoured to place 2nd in the prestigious Nordic's best roasters competition, competing alongside twenty-seven exceptional roasters from across the Nordic region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\" data-start=\"2556\" data-end=\"2918\" class=\"\"\u003eOur new location stood ready in July 2025, home to our new roastery and coffee-bar (the last one is as we speak still under construction).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\" data-start=\"2556\" data-end=\"2918\" class=\"\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\" data-start=\"2920\" data-end=\"3190\" class=\"\"\u003eToday, we are both thrilled and humbled that Swerl coffee is featured and served in cafés around the world.
