Our take

Founded in 2011, Grind are one of London’s leading coffee chains, currently operating in coffee bars, full-service restaurants, as well as their own coffee roasters.

While the pandemic wiped nearly £2bn from the UK coffee market, Grind turned their attention to helping people make better, more sustainable coffee at home during lockdown. Grind coffee is now available online - through their direct-to-consumer coffee business led by the UK’s first compostable coffee pods for Nespresso machines. This has seen huge success, with over 100,000 customers that year as well as an expectation to ship 30 million coffee pods in 2021.

Grind are now taking their brand further afield as the company embarks on an ambitious international expansion drive, specifically to the US. They already hold a presence through their global partnership with Soho House, whereby Grind exclusively roasts coffee for the group’s luxury members clubs, and restaurants across the world.
