Customised products and services

To create the best outcomes for our customers, we tailor our services to fit your business needs. Groundhouse can provide a full Barista coffee shop experience or a high-quality automated service, and everything in between. We’ve taken on the high street in taste tests, and have always come out on top, and we’d love the opportunity to do a tasting soon in a workplace near you.
Introducing: The Ground Crew

Producing our coffee is a craft from harvesting, processing and shipping right down to the barista who pours your latte, our people care about creating the best experiences. Groundhouse baristas complete our national barista academy program to ensure they respect the bean and harvest its flavours to the full, producing the finest extracted espresso to blend beautifully aromatic, delicious drinks.
Ethical and sustainable as a priority

Groundhouse coffee is sourced from sustainably managed plantations, including both Rainforest Alliance and Fairtrade certified coffees. We work closely with selected plantations and support key development programs to promote best practices and improve both the welfare and coffee growing within these communities.

Our Coffee: Blend 7

We have two distinctive in-house blends: Blend 7 and Blend 3. We’re proud that our coffee is sustainably grown and ethically sourced and you can taste the difference in every cup.

Tasting Notes

Exceptionally aromatic, with hints of rich chocolate, deep soft caramel and sweet fruity undertones. Slowly roasted, the beans release a pungent sweetness and full-bodied flavour that lends itself beautifully to espressos or blended with milk.

Origins

An Arabica blend from sustainable smallholdings in Central & South America. Blend 7 is sourced seasonally, which ensures flavour consistency at all times of the year. It is grown on Fairtrade and Rainforest Alliance certified farming
co-operatives including CAPUCAS in Honduras and Sol y Café in Peru.

Our Coffee: Blend 3

Tasting Notes

Punchy and full-bodied, with dark chocolate and dried apricot notes. Blend 3 is ideal for a fragrant and flavoursome cappuccino or latte. A unique blend of both Arabica and Robusta beans gives Blend 3 its distinctively bold taste profile.

Origins

Dependent on the season Blend 3 uses Fairtrade coffee beans grown by small holder co-operatives in Brazil, Vietnam and Central America such as SOPPEXCCA, our Nicaraguan partners. These Arabica elements are then rounded off by a Fairtrade-sourced Robusta, a crucial addition to our unique blend

Our Give Back Programme promotes our best practices and makes a real difference to the communities we work in. Working with the Capucas Co-operative, we pay into a revolving fund that improves the living standards for the poorest growers.
