CupTogether!

Let’s fight loneliness, one cup at a time.

At Espresso House we love coffee, just as much as we love your smile when we serve it to you. Coffee sparks conversations, creates connection, and fosters community.

Building on our Nordic heritage with our open-minded inclusive culture, where everyone is welcome the way they are, we are committed to use the social power of coffee to change things for the better.

Introducing: A Cup on a Mission

This Christmas season, we're taking our commitment to fight loneliness to a new level: say hello to the CupTogether! Crafted in collaboration with renowned Finnish porcelain manufacturer Arabia, this special cup offers a whole new way to enjoy your beverage at our Coffee Shop. Its bright green color and unique design serve as a symbol, signaling to others that you're open to striking up a friendly conversation. Just order your favorite beverage in a CupTogether – and see what happens!

Love the cup’s look as much as we do? You can also purchase a CupTogether in a gift box to enjoy its beauty at your home or to give it away to a loved one. We donate all profits from the sales of these cups to local organizations dedicated to combating loneliness in our communities. Together, we make an impact and spread joy to those who need it most!

Inspired by Skravlekopp

The idea behind CupTogether was inspired by our friends at Skravlekopp in Norway, who successfully introduced the concept of the ”conversation cup” to combat loneliness in their country. We're excited to bring this initiative to all our Coffee Shops, creating an atmosphere where the simple act of enjoying a cup of coffee can build connection and brighten someone's day. Our philosophy is that everyone of us can and has the responsibility to take action to make a difference. We believe in the power of many small actions adding up to a huge sustainable impact.

Every smile counts.

Even if you choose not to use the CupTogether, you are warmly welcome to embrace its spirit and join our mission. Take a moment to look up and engage with those around you.

A smile, a kind word, or a simple gesture can go a long way. Let's create a warm and welcoming environment where everyone feels seen and valued!

We say CupTogether, and with that we commit ourselves to breaking down taboos and to fighting loneliness – one cup at a time.
