Jacobsen & Svart For Tony Jacobsen and Hans Erik Kleive, coffee isn’t just coffee – it’s a handcrafted experience rich in flavour. The duo both have long and interesting careers within the field of coffee, and their next venture is due to open soon – a coffee bar in Trondheim city centre. Jacobsen and Svart originally had its start in 2012, at a time when there were just 13 coffee roasteries in Norway. Since then, the industry has seen a real boom, and there are now more than 80 coffee roasteries across the country. The business started as a one-man project for Tony Jacobsen. “In the workspace of the roastery, there was an air conditioning system that I started using to experiment with humidity – drying the air to create better roast profiles. That was the start of a sort of “coffee hacking” that we haven’t left behind yet,” Tony says.
