Contexto cultural
Estonians are among the highest coffee consumers per capita in the world. Coffee is a symbol of hospitality; it is almost mandatory to offer a guest a cup of coffee when they visit your home. Estonia shares the 'Fika' or coffee-break culture with its Nordic neighbors. It's a time to slow down, even in a fast-paced tech environment like Tallinn. During the Soviet era, coffee was a scarce luxury. Owning a high-quality coffee grinder or getting beans from abroad was a sign of status and 'Western' taste. The 'Third Wave' coffee movement is huge in Tallinn. People don't just love coffee; they love specific origins, roasts, and brewing methods like V60 or Chemex.
