Grind is a coffee company that lives in London.
We’re on a mission to change the way we drink coffee for the better. Because with the amount of coffee we consume, we realised it would be nice to drink it with a clear conscience. And there’s nothing about our home-compostable pods that we feel guilty about.
David Abrahamovitch, Founder & CEO.
David is the founder & CEO of Grind. In 2011, alongside his friend Kaz James, he turned his father’s old mobile phone store in Shoreditch into a coffee shop called Shoreditch Grind. As it evolved, Shoreditch Grind became a “café by day and cocktail bar by night” and the first location became an East London institution.
Over the last decade, Grind has grown to become the breakout coffee challenger brand in the UK, with fourteen locations across London, a thriving online business serving hundreds of thousands of customers around the world, and Grind coffee beans, coffee cans and coffee pods are available in most major UK grocers. Grind is also the global coffee supplier to Soho House, and is partnered with other best-in-class brands like Oatly and Brewdog.
David’s vision is to grow Grind into the world's leading challenger coffee brand, encouraging people around the world to enjoy speciality coffee, sustainably.

This Is Better Coffee.
How We Got Here.
Like all the best things in life, we began in Shoreditch. That was back in 2011 when our founder, David, turned his father’s mobile phone store into the first Grind café—but think “coffee shop by day, cocktail bar by night” (primarily a homage to the holy grail of cocktails: the Espresso Martini). Now, we’re all over London with 14 sites and our very own roastery, and we put a decade’s worth of coffee knowledge into home-compostable pods.
