Girl Crush is our current coffee crush for espresso-based drinks, consider it the house espresso from the Girls Who Grind Coffee Clubhouse. Sometimes single-origin, sometimes a blend but always from incredible female producers and consistently delivering a perfectly balanced and full-bodied cup.

A medium roast profile that creates a superb all-rounder that is sweet and silky smooth with subtle acidity making it an absolute dreamboat in both black and milk-based drinks with very little faff required to really bring her full flavour profile to light. We promise she'll be a crowd-pleaser.

This easy-to-work-with coffee shines with the traditional espresso recipe of 18g in/36g out extracting between 28-30 seconds, but we'll be honest, we've found GC to be so forgiving, it's actually harder to brew a bad espresso with this coffee than it is to brew a banging one.

Girls Who Grind

We are an independent, female-founded specialty coffee roastery. To drive towards a more equal industry, we source 100% of our coffees from women producers with the focus on visibility, representation, and celebration.

Girls Who Grind Coffee is an all-female specialty coffee roastery owned by Casey LaLonde. 

Casey, originally from Upstate New York, had the dream of starting her own coffee business for as long as she can remember and there’s nothing she’s ever had as much passion for. She has happy childhood memories of her house filling up with the smell of coffee brewing in the mornings and became passionate about producer relationships after studying power dynamics for her Sociology degree.

Casey started off her career in a cupping lab and roastery where she learned how to cup and roast. She also assisted on Q-Grader courses. She enjoyed the experience of working in a lab but learned two things. 1.She wanted to work for herself. 2. She wanted to be involved in green buying and producer relationships.

After moving to the UK in 2009 and two daughters later, she was ready to start her dream business. She founded GWGC along with a previous co-founder, Fi O’Brien, in 2017. 

Coffee is a wonderful world, but it’s also not always a fair and equal one. GWGC recongnises the inequalities women face in coffee and sets out to help create an industry where women felt seen and celebrated for everything they bring to the table and have their voices heard. Hence why we made the conscious decision to focus solely on buying coffee from female producers, sharing their stories to the world, giving them the recognition they rightly deserve for the incredible work that they do.
