Great Coffee Doing Better®
Sustainable Materials
Grind coffee pods were the first in the UK to be certified home-compostable. They're 100% plastic- and aluminium-free, made only from organic matter (PHA), offering a sustainable alternative to the millions of plastic and aluminium pods that end up in landfills every day and take hundreds and hundreds of years to decompose.
Unlike other plant-based coffee pods, ours have an oxygen barrier that keeps your coffee fresh for months, without losing its fresh flavour. If you're interested, you can see the full life cycle of a Grind pod here. We also avoid single-use plastic like it's the plague (because, in many ways, it is), making sure our packaging is fully recyclable.
Our pods are made from PHA, a biopolymer produced from natural sources that fully biodegrades to carbon dioxide, water, and compost, creating a circular product: from plant to pod to plant again.

Better than Fair Trade
Better than Fair Trade
In 2024, we recovered 42,800,000 pods’ worth of ocean-bound plastic. That’s about 64,000 kg.
Guess you could say we’re waving
goodbye to ocean plastic.
Compostable Packaging
Our home-compostable coffee pods are made from PHA, a biopolymer produced by microorganisms through bacterial fermentation. That isn't as gross as it sounds, we promise: the process creates a natural material with plastic-like tendencies that fully biodegrades, creating a circular product—from plant to pod to plant again.
Our whole bean & ground packaging is also 100% industrially-compostable. These bags are made from wood pulp, PLA (polylactic acid, a monomer derived from renewable, organic sources), and PBAT (polybutylene adipate terephthalate, a biodegradable copolymer).
Yes, composting is very cool now

Our People
Yes, that includes you.
Whether you're just perusing our gorgeous website or having a scroll through our social media, grabbing a flat white on your way to work or popping a Grind pod into your machine, we want you to feel good about it.
The Grind team is exactly that — a team. From our production squad who roast our coffee beans every day at our London roastery (in 2023, they roasted hundreds of tonnes of coffee. That's the weight of almost 40 elephants. Which is really heavy. They're amazing.), to our brilliant baristas and head office crew, we strive to create a positive culture of belonging where everyone feels included, heard, and a vital part of our mission to drive positive change.
