Tim Wendelboe demonstrates his brewing technique for both V60 and automatic filter brewers. He emphasizes the importance of coffee quality, grind size adjustment based on taste, and consistent water-to-coffee ratios.
From Tim Wendelboe:
“The most important ingredient that you need to think about is obviously the coffee. You cannot make good coffee without having good ingredients.”
“Normally, if the coffee taste astringent and bitter, you need to grind coarser. And if it taste watery and weak, you need to grind finer.”

9 lots in stock, mostly Colombia, El Salvador and Kenya.
Coverage is below 50%. Available roaster-level evidence comes from Reddit. Per-lot evidence from SCA grades, Coffee Review entries, and public on-shop product ratings is limited across the catalog. With limited signal, scores are also pulled toward a neutral 50 baseline by the Cherrybook Index methodology, so lots can read flatter than the actual cup quality differences between them. The average Cherrybook Index therefore leans more heavily on roaster-level reputation than per-lot quality.

Two Reddit commenters describe positive experiences with Tim Wendelboe. One lists Tim Wendelboe among their favorite Norwegian roasters. Another says the available coffees are all delicious, identifies washed coffee as the characteristic style, and says honey or natural offerings remain clean.
Favourite Norwegians are definitely Tim Wendelboe Jacu Kaffa Kokko But also heard great things about Fuglen Solberg & Hansen (who Tim used to roast for many years ago)
If you're interested in getting a sense of the "Tim Wendelboe" style, I would not recommend the Honey processed coffee. TW is known for *washed* coffees. When they do offer a honey or natural coffee, it's quite clean, but still, those processes aren't really what they're known for. (that said you can't go wrong--these.
