The secret to better coffee isn’t roasting, it’s relationships!

We find remarkable coffees in Costa Rica and Colombia, work closely with the people who grow them, and stay radically transparent along the way.

Because when the system is better, the coffee is too.

BEAN BACKER

With this adopt-a-plantation project, roasters are able to patreon a plantation throughout the year and receive coffee from their own plot of land that they sponsor.

Immerse in the art of coffee production, get involved in generating real positive impact together and build a strong relationship with the producer at origin.

We put people forward, humanising and bringing unity in the industry.

WHO WE are
Redefining the Coffee Journey

Most coffee gets complicated somewhere between the farm and the roaster.

We think that’s where things go wrong.

Grounds Coffees is a boutique green coffee importer in Europe, built on a simple idea: the closer people are, the better the coffee becomes.

With #JoinTheBoat, small roasters can import together, sharing containers, skipping unnecessary middlemen, and getting closer to the source than usual.

We work directly with producers and roasters to shorten the journey, strengthen relationships, and make the whole system a little more human.

Because better connections don’t just improve fairness, they improve flavour.

Join us. Let’s change how coffee gets here.
