Grind Single Origin Colombia Ground Coffee, 200g
Colombia is the origin people recognise without being told: brown-sugar sweetness that builds as the cup cools, a juicy red-apple brightness, very little hard edge anywhere. That makes this the pack to put in front of somebody who says they do not like black coffee, because there is nothing in it to flinch at. Ground medium, so it belongs in a cafetiere or a drip basket; a pump machine will pull it fast and hollow. No British buyer has left a word about this bag yet. That is a gap in the evidence, not a mark against it.
Grind Single Origin Colombia Ground Coffee, in brief.
Grind Single Origin Colombia Ground Coffee is the origin pack from a London coffee brand, 200g ready ground for a cafetiere, filter or pour-over, picked into the Teas.co.uk curator selection as the bright, sweet alternative to an everyday house blend.
A 200g pack giving roughly 28 cups at a 7g measure, with the caramel sweetness and juicy apple acidity Colombia is known for and very little hard bitterness. Drink the first cup black before you decide how you take it. Region, farm and altitude are not declared to us and are not quoted here.
Grind Single Origin Colombia Ground Coffee is the opposite proposition to a house blend. A blend is engineered for consistency, built from several origins so that no single harvest can knock it off course. A single origin is the other bargain: one country, one character, and a cup that tastes of where it came from rather than of a recipe. Grind name Colombia on the pack, and Colombian coffee is one of the few origins most people can recognise blind.
Ground rather than whole bean, this 200g pack is the practical version of that. There is no grinder to buy and no grind setting to argue with. You open the pack, you measure, you brew. That trade costs you some aroma against grinding fresh, and it buys you a cup that is ready in the time it takes to boil a kettle, which for most households on a weekday morning is the better deal.

The Story Behind Grind
Grind is a London coffee company whose reputation was built across the counter of its coffee bars before its packs reached the grocery aisle. A single origin sits differently in that kind of range: the house blend is the default cup, and the single origin is the one a bar puts on when it wants you to taste something specific. Colombia is the sensible choice for that job on a supermarket shelf, because it is the origin that rewards attention without demanding it. It is sweet and clean enough to please somebody who normally drinks a blend, and distinctive enough to be worth the label. Grind do not publish a farm, a region within Colombia or an altitude to us, so we are not going to print one.
Packaging: Follow the current UK pack and local-authority guidance; components can require different disposal routes.
What You Are Actually Buying
- Weight: 200g of ground roasted coffee.
- Cups per pack: at a standard 7g measure, 200g works out at roughly 28 cups. In a cafetiere at 15g per 250ml you are looking at about 13 mugs. That arithmetic is ours, from the pack weight, not a claim printed on the bag.
- Grind: a general-purpose grind, which is the whole reason to buy pre-ground. It works across a cafetiere, a filter machine and a pour-over without any adjustment on your part.
- Origin: Grind name Colombia in the product name itself. The region, the farm and the altitude are not declared to us, so check the current UK pack if that level of detail matters to you.
- What it is not: not a decaf, not flavoured, and not a blend. One origin, ground, in a bag.
Getting It Right in the Cup
- Water temperature: 92 to 94 degrees Celsius for filter, pour-over and cafetiere.
- Measure: 7g per standard cup, 15g per 250ml in a cafetiere or a pour-over.
- Black first: drink the first cup from a new pack black, even if you normally take milk. It is the only way to find out what the origin actually tastes like before you cover it.
- Milk: it takes milk, but it is not built for it the way a house blend is. A splash is fine; a full flat white buries most of what you paid for.
- Storage: once the pack is open the clock starts. Fold it down tight, clip it, and keep it in a cupboard, not the fridge. Condensation is the enemy of ground coffee.
- Best with: breakfast, a mid-morning break, a plain scone, lemon cake, or nothing at all.

The taste profile
How does it compare
A bright single origin is less forgiving than a dark blend, because there is nowhere for a mistake to hide. There is no heavy roast bitterness to mask an under-extracted cup, so if you brew it too fast or too coarse it does not taste weak, it tastes sour. Get the extraction right and that same acidity reads as sweetness instead. This is the pack that will teach you the difference.
The Cafetiere
The Pour-Over
Made with this tea
The Clean Cafetiere Cup
How to make The Clean Cafetiere Cup with Grind Colombia.
- 30g Grind Colombia
- 500ml water at 94 degrees Celsius
- A 3 cup cafetiere
- A spoon for the crust
- Warm the jug with hot water and tip it out, then add 30g of Grind Single Origin Colombia Ground Coffee, 200g.
- Pour 500ml of water just off the boil in one go, wetting every ground.
- Steep four minutes with the lid on, break the crust with a spoon and skim the foam and floating grounds off the top.
- Plunge slowly and decant every drop into mugs immediately.
What you'll end up with: A clean, caramel-sweet mug with the acidity reading as juice rather than sharpness. Skimming the crust is what keeps it clean.
Pour-Over for One
How to make Pour-Over for One with Grind Colombia.
- 15g Grind Colombia
- 250ml water at 94 degrees Celsius
- A paper filter, rinsed
- Scales and a timer
- Rinse the paper filter with hot water and discard the rinse, which removes the paper taste and warms the brewer.
- Bloom with 50ml of water and wait thirty seconds while the bed swells and releases gas.
- Pour the remaining 200ml in slow circles, keeping the bed level, aiming to finish at about three minutes.
- Read the drawdown: too fast means grind finer, water pooling on top means coarser.
What you'll end up with: The cleanest expression of the origin. This is the brew that shows the apple acidity most clearly.
Overnight Cold Brew
How to make Overnight Cold Brew with Grind Colombia.
- 100g Grind Colombia
- 800ml cold filtered water
- A large jar or jug
- A fine sieve and a paper filter
- Stir 100g of coffee into 800ml of cold water until every ground is wet.
- Cover and leave in the fridge for sixteen hours.
- Strain through a fine sieve, then again through a paper filter for a clean finish.
- Dilute the concentrate one part to two parts water, milk or tonic over ice.
What you'll end up with: A sweet, low-acid concentrate that keeps several days in the fridge and makes iced coffee in seconds.
Iced Caramel Colombian
How to make Iced Caramel Colombian with Grind Colombia.
- 20g Grind Colombia
- 200ml water at 94 degrees Celsius
- A full glass of ice
- 1 teaspoon soft brown sugar
- A splash of milk
- Brew 20g in 200ml for four minutes, so the coffee is deliberately strong.
- Stir in a teaspoon of soft brown sugar while it is still hot so it dissolves properly.
- Pour straight over a full glass of ice.
- Finish with a splash of cold milk and let it settle through.
What you'll end up with: The origin's own caramel note doubled up. Brewing strong is what stops the ice turning it into brown water.
The Breakfast Cafe au Lait
How to make The Breakfast Cafe au Lait with Grind Colombia.
- 20g Grind Colombia
- 200ml water at 94 degrees Celsius
- 150ml hot milk
- A wide bowl or large cup
- Brew 20g in 200ml in a cafetiere for four minutes.
- Heat 150ml of milk until steaming but not boiling.
- Pour the coffee and the milk into a wide bowl together, from a little height, so they mix as they land.
- Serve with something plain to dip. This is a breakfast drink, not a dessert.
What you'll end up with: A soft, sweet morning bowl. The low bitterness means the milk rounds it rather than fighting it.
Affogato with a Bright Coffee
How to make Affogato with a Bright Coffee with Grind Colombia.
- 20g Grind Colombia
- 120ml water at 94 degrees Celsius
- 2 scoops vanilla ice cream
- Grated dark chocolate
- Brew 20g in only 120ml of water for four minutes, so the coffee comes out concentrated.
- Scoop the ice cream into two cold glasses.
- Pour the hot coffee over at the table, not in the kitchen.
- Grate dark chocolate over the top and serve immediately.
What you'll end up with: A brighter, fruitier affogato than an espresso version. The apple acidity cuts the cream instead of sinking into it.

| Origin | single origin, Colombia | Named by Grind in the product name. The region, farm and altitude are not declared to us and are not quoted here. |

Sourcing & blend. Grind Single Origin Colombia Ground Coffee, 200g is put together by Grind, a London coffee company whose name was made across the counter of its coffee bars rather than on a grocery shelf. A single origin in a range like this one has a specific job: the house blend is the default cup and the origin pack is the one that is supposed to taste of somewhere. Colombia is the sensible candidate for a supermarket shelf because it is sweet and clean enough not to alienate a blend drinker while still being recognisably itself.
What's in Grind Single Origin Colombia Ground Coffee, 200g, and what isn't:
- In: roasted and ground coffee from a single named origin, and nothing else. Plain coffee takes no additives.
- No artificial colours, preservatives or added sugar: the caramel sweetness is roast sugar developed inside the bean, not anything added to it.
- Energy: brewed black with nothing added, coffee contributes negligible energy. The calories in a coffee are whatever you pour into it.
- Packaging: follow the current UK pack and your local-authority guidance; coffee packs vary between paper, foil and mixed laminates and the disposal routes differ.
