Drinking coffee is an essential part of their daily routines.

But beware, Swedes don&#8217;t drink their coffee they way you use to in your old country.<\/p>\n<p>Swedish coffee is strong. Very strong. So strong indeed, you will notice when you pour your standard amount of milk into it, and notice your coffee resists\u00a0turning from black to brown. Basically, you can consider Swedish coffee a bit stronger as Espresso and weaker than tar.<\/p><div id=\"hejsw-914624282\" class=\"hejsw-content-sfa-desktop-and-tablet-1 hejsw-entity-placement\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3eu3RS1\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Book about Sweden - How to be Swedish\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/HtbS-ad-main-220420-1-1.png\" alt=\"Book about Sweden - How to be Swedish\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/HtbS-ad-main-220420-1-1.png 900w, https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/HtbS-ad-main-220420-1-1-800x600.png 800w, https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/HtbS-ad-main-220420-1-1-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/HtbS-ad-main-220420-1-1-768x576.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" class=\"no-lazyload\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>That said, the first time you try Swedish coffee, only try a little Espresso-size mug, to find out which impact it has on your digestion.\u00a0Just make sure you drink your coffee with a toilet within a few seconds reach.<\/p>\n<h3>Coffee facts<\/h3>\n<p>Increase your coffee intake gradually until you hit Swedish\u00a0average of 3,2 cups a day.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;re used to it, every other coffee in the world will taste like black colored water.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Three of four Swedes drink coffee every day<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The average 3,2 cups of coffee every day puts Swedes to\u00a0the\u00a0second place of the highest coffee consumption in the world, right after 3,5 cups that the Finns drink daily &#8211; one before, during and after a sauna visit. \u00a0The other Scandinavian countries, Norway and Denmark, also belong to the biggest coffee consumers, both with 3,1 cups per day.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>So, dear new-Swede,<\/strong> get your digestive system prepared for\u00a0your 3,2 cups of strong coffee per day<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Want to learn more ways how to act like a Swede?

One semester turned into more than a decade. In 2011 he started the blog Hej Sweden in order to share his Swedish experiences and love for Sweden and the Swedes with others who are keen to learn more about this beautiful country.\u00a0 One result of his constant attempt to discover what it means to live in Sweden like a typical Swede, is the book How to be Swedish - A Quick Guide to Swedishness - In 55 Steps (here on Amazon, also available in German)\u00a0 For more about Matthias and Hej Sweden, have a look at the About page.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/hejsweden\/","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@hejsweden"],"url":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/author\/matthias-admin\/"}]}},"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Drink-strong-coffee-in-Sweden-how-to-be-Swedish-s.jpg","featured_image_src_square":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Drink-strong-coffee-in-Sweden-how-to-be-Swedish-s.jpg","author_info":{"display_name":"Matthias Kamann","author_link":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/author\/matthias-admin\/"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5159","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5159"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5159\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5221"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5159"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5159"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5159"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
