Nordic Roasting Profile¶

Overview¶
The Nordic roasting profile describes the characteristically very light roast style developed by Scandinavian specialty roasters, targeting high Agtron scores (typically 75–90 for whole bean) to preserve origin-derived fruit, floral, and acidic notes rather than developing roast-derived caramel or bitter flavours. Associated with roasters such as Tim Wendelboe and Peter Dupont, this approach became the benchmark style for third-wave specialty roasting globally and is closely linked to Nordic countries' dominance in World Barista Championship competition during the 2000s and early 2010s.
