A BIT ABOUT US

Grind is a coffee company that lives in London. After opening Shoreditch Grind in 2011, the brand expanded across London with cafés and a production coffee roastery. 2020 changed Grind beyond recognition and since then we’ve helped hundreds of thousands of people make better, more sustainable coffee at home. You’ll find our pink pods, the UK’s first home compostable coffee pods for Nespresso® machines, available online as well as in Waitrose.
Based in Shoreditch, we have a team of talented people working on everything from product development to creative production, to customer experience.
Since 2011 we’ve been serving flat whites to the people of London from our London cafés, and in 2019 we took Grind online - and since then we’ve shipped tens of millions of our pink compostable coffee pods to customers around the world.
This year we took Grind coffee into supermarkets for the first time. This new pillar of the business allows our products to be an extension of our brand. We are bringing the quality of our café experience into everyone’s coffee cup - whether they’re at home, at work, or on the go. It allows our products to be an extension of our brand.

Having originally conquered the high street, then built a hugely successful D2C business, we are now focused on succeeding in B2B with confirmed launches in 4 major UK supermarkets 2024 - 2025.
This new pillar of the business allows our products to be an extension of our brand. We are bringing the quality of our café experience into everyone’s coffee cup - whether they’re at home, at work, or on the go.
