Which funnily is absolutely not a thing here in Sweden.

First time I heard about "Swedish egg coffee" from American colleagues I was really puzzled, had to do some research about it because I never heard or seen it. It seems to come from some Swedish immigrants to the USA that used eggs instead of fish skins to remove impurities from coffee.

Interesting! I first saw it at a state fair in the US. They mentioned Swedish immigrants too, but didn't say whether they invented the technique.

I was skeptical but...it's actually great.
