Better Together: The Aarke x Lykke Kaffegårdar Collab with Lars Pilengrim

Better coffee, made better together. In collaboration with Lykke Kaffegårdar, we developed Day Drip—a coffee crafted for Aarke’s precision brewing. We spoke with Lars Pilengrim about sustainability, great coffee, and the perfect home brew.

What makes this collaboration special?

Lars - It’s about taking filter coffee to the next level. Aarke brings precision and design, and at Lykke, we focus on sustainable coffee farming. By combining these perspectives, we’re making it easier for more people to enjoy really good coffee at home.
