Coffee Roasting
Our Story

More Than a
Morning Ritual

Grounds & Glory was born in 2018 out of a single frustration — why was it so hard to find truly great coffee without flying to the farm yourself? We started small. One founder, a beat-up grinder, and an obsessive spreadsheet tracking every single-origin bean we could get our hands on.

We cold-emailed farmers in Ethiopia, haggled at co-ops in Colombia, and drove through the hills of Sumatra chasing a rumour about a naturally processed lot that tasted like blueberry jam.

Today we work directly with 14 smallholder farms across 9 countries. No middlemen. No mystery. Just exceptional coffee, roasted to order, at your door. We don't do average. Average is everywhere. You came here for something better.

The Process

How It Works

Take the Quiz

Tell us how you drink your coffee — espresso or filter, light or dark, fruity or chocolatey. Our two-minute quiz matches you with beans your taste buds were made for.

1

We Roast & Ship

Every bag is roasted to order the day we pack it. No sitting in warehouses. No stale shelves. Just fresh, traceable coffee sealed and shipped straight to your door.

2

Brew, Sip, Repeat

Your box arrives monthly with your matched beans, tasting notes, and the story of the farm it came from. Love it? Keep it. Want to try something new? Swap it anytime — no questions asked.
