Grind House Blend Ground Coffee, 200 grams
Grind roast to a London profile, medium rather than dark, so the cup arrives bright and balanced when a good number of people buying ground coffee in a 200g pack are expecting the tarry hit of an Italian supermarket blend. Against that expectation it reads weak. Taken as what it is, it is a well-made all-day coffee with enough body to hold milk at eleven and no single note that tires you out by the second cup. It is ground for a cafetiere, a filter or a moka pot, and it rewards a proper dose; a fair share of the complaints a coffee like this attracts are really complaints about one heaped teaspoon in a large mug. Black-and-strong drinkers should look further along the shelf. For weekday mornings with milk, it earns its place.
Grind House Blend Ground Coffee, in brief.
Grind House Blend Ground Coffee is the everyday blend from Grind, the London coffee company, sold ready-ground in a 200g pack, a balanced medium-roast cup built to work black in the morning and under milk later, picked into the Teas.co.uk curator selection as the London alternative to an Italian supermarket blend.
A 200g pack sitting between the supermarket Italian blends and the small-batch bags sold by weight, for anyone who prefers a lighter roasting profile with brightness rather than bitterness.
This sits in the gap between the Italian supermarket blends and the small-batch bags sold by weight, and what sets it apart is a London roasting profile rather than a Turin one: generally lighter-handed, with less of the dark bitterness the Italian bar tradition is built on. Ground rather than whole, it is aimed at a cafetiere, a filter or a moka pot, and at a household that wants a better weekday cup without buying a grinder to get it.

Curators Rating
4.5 / 5 - Our expert verdict from the curators at Teas.co.uk
The Story Behind Grind
Grind began as a London coffee business and the packaged coffee came afterwards, which is the usual and the better order. A company that has to serve coffee across a counter all day learns things a company that only sells bags does not: what people actually order, how a blend behaves once milk is in it, and how quickly a cup stops being interesting. A house blend is the distillation of that, and it is why buying a roaster's house blend is a more informative purchase than buying its seasonal special.
What we will not do is put numbers on this pack that we cannot stand behind. Grind publishes less about this blend than the large Italian houses publish about theirs, so the origin composition, the roast level and the tasting notes are all things to read off the current pack rather than to take from us. Everything in this listing that is specific, the weight and the format, comes from the pack.

Sourcing & blend. Grind House Blend Ground Coffee, 200 grams is the everyday blend of Grind, the London coffee company, sold ready-ground. A house blend exists to be consistent: the roaster buys and blends to a fixed profile so the cup holds steady across the year rather than changing with each lot. That consistency is the product. We make no certification, origin or roast-level claim for this pack because none is verified on our side.
What's in Grind House Blend Ground Coffee, 200 grams, and what isn't:
- In: roast and ground coffee, ground at a medium setting for cafetiere and filter brewing.
- No sugar, no flavouring, no additives: any sweetness in the cup comes from the roast.
- No certification claimed here: organic, Fairtrade and Rainforest Alliance status are pack-level facts and this listing asserts none of them.
