Grind
London, United Kingdom
Grind began in 2011 when founder David Abrahamovitch and Kaz James turned a former mobile-phone shop on Old Street, Shoreditch into a café by day, cocktail bar by night — a concept that became an East London institution. Howard Gill, a certified Q grader with nearly 20 years in the industry, joined in 2016 to set up Grind's in-house roastery, with a philosophy built around making quality, sustainable coffee accessible to everyone. Grind has since grown into fourteen venues across London, Manchester and Dubai — restaurants, standalone coffee shops and market trucks — alongside a global subscription business for beans, home-compostable Nespresso-compatible pods (a UK first in 2022) and matcha. The company is B Corp certified (2024) and runs the Better Coffee Foundation® to address the industry's environmental impact.

Dark chocolate, orange, toasted almond
Grind's take on a classic Italian espresso — heavy-bodied, rich, chocolatey and bittersweet. Intensity 10/10.

A bright and complex single origin, sustainably grown in the rich red volcanic soils of Murang’a County. Intensity 6/10.
Blood orange · Blackcurrant · Lemon sherbet · Fresh cream
The decaf counterpart to Grind's rotating Editions line of speciality coffees, roasted in London and sold alongside its everyday Decaf blend.
Designed to pair perfectly with milk (but it's great on its own, too) — Grind's exploration of different kinds of natural sweetness. Intensity 8/10.
Dark chocolate · Pecan · Orange cream
Carefully cultivated at high altitude, this unique Ugandan coffee has a bright, earthy, complex acidity beautifully balanced by a deep honey sweetness. Intensity 6/10.
