Coffee beans reached Finland in the 1700s, but coffee did not become common among ordinary people until the 1800s.
Fire-brewed kettle coffee takes us back to the old days – when coffee was brewed in the pot, hung over the campfire on a stick, by both gold-diggers in Lapland and log floaters, and workers in the forests and fields far away from dwellings.
In Finland, coffee was brewed on an open fire in sooty kettles long after Airam began to make thermos flasks in its glass factory in the Punavuori district in Helsinki in 1934. The iconic red Airam thermos flask is a true classic, turning 90 years old in 2024. The classic item is known around the world among design enthusiasts.
All you need to brew coffee on the open fire is a coffee pot, coarse ground coffee, fresh water and a campfire.
