It was originally founded by David Abrahamovitch who took over his father’s Shoreditch mobile phone shop and decided to turn it into a café-bar.

In the decade since, Grind has grown to become a cult coffee brand with locations across London.

These include espresso bars, cocktail bars, restaurants, an international-grade recording studio, and a state-of-the-art coffee roastery.

Grind are still based in Shoreditch and now employ around two-hundred people with most of their investors over the years becoming Grind regulars and friends across the world.

Grind have revolutionised the home brewing coffee scene and roast coffee beans from all over the world in their state of the art coffee roaster in Bermondsey.

What Grind have done so well recently where others have been slower to follow is to capture the speciality Nespresso market by releasing their very own Grind coffee pods.

Their collection of compostable Nespresso pods were the first completely compostable coffee pods in the UK.

They break down in your compost or food waste bin faster than a banana peel.

All of the coffee in them is organic and ethically sourced from sustainable farms around the world.

Today, Grind make more than two million cups of coffee a year across their London cafés, and twelve million more are made at home, and by their friends at Soho House.

That's one every three seconds.

What is Grind Coffee?

Grind coffee are a coffee roastery that are based in London. They have multiple stores across the city and also produce specialty coffee compostable Nespresso pods that your can purchase via their online shop.

Is Grind Coffee strong?

Grind coffee is around the medium mark when it comes to strength.

However describing coffee as strong is a bit of a taboo in the world of specialty coffee. Although you may find strength ratings on commodity grade coffees you find in the supermarket it is commonly mistaken for strength in caffeine, when actually there is pretty much the same caffeine content of their coffee across the board.

Strength more accurately refers to the roast of the coffee and therefore the taste, where strong coffee tastes bitter.

So to loop back to the question, Grind coffee is high quality specialty coffee that is roasted to a medium roast and around a medium strength in flavour.
