About Aya Maki Fredheim and Hibi Kaffe

Aya Maki Fredim is the founder — and currently the sole employee — of Hibi Kaffe.

Originally from Japan, she moved to Norway with her husband in 2013. That’s when she discovered her love for coffee and developed a deep interest in roasting. Aya started as a barista at a café in Oslo in 2014, began roasting in 2018, and became the head roaster in 2019. Aya stayed in that role until 2023, when her son was born, and decided the next goal would be to pursue her dream of starting her own roastery. After months of hard work, she officially launched Hibi Kaffe in November 2024.

"Hibi" means "daily" in Japanese — a reminder to better appreciate coffee in your everyday moments. Starting this journey has been an incredible experience, and she’s so excited to share her passion and craft with you.

When you buy coffee and services from Hibi Kaffe, you support a small, local business dedicated to ethically sourced, high-quality beans.
