High Grade Coffee
London-based specialty roaster working single origins only, each one roasted to order on what they describe as the world's lowest carbon-emitting roaster. A focused range named after city streets, not origin codes.
High Grade Coffee is an independent London specialty roaster trading direct-to-consumer at highgrade.coffee. The whole proposition is built around a tightly edited menu of single-origin coffees — no blends, no padding, just named lots from named places.
Roasting happens to order on what the team describe as the world's lowest carbon-emitting roaster, with a clear commitment to traceability across every coffee on the shelf. Production tracks orders rather than the other way around, which keeps every bag close to roast date.
The range moves across Latin America and Africa — current and recent releases include Brazilian natural, Ethiopian washed and super-natural, Colombian sugarcane decaf, Rwandan and Costa Rican anaerobic naturals, Peruvian anaerobic washed, Salvadoran honey, and Nicaraguan extended anaerobic. Each coffee is named after a London street or postcode rather than its origin: BRICK LANE, BUXTON, FASHION, FOURNIER, PRINCELET, HANBURY, WENTWORTH.
Social impact
High Grade pair single-origin focus with the lowest-emission roasting setup they can find — a tight, honest range with very little wasted in between.
Low-Emission Roasting
Roasted on what High Grade describe as the world's lowest carbon-emitting roaster — emissions treated as a design decision, not an afterthought.
Single-Origin Only
No blends or padding — every coffee is a named lot from a named producing country, kept on the menu while it's at its best.
Roast to Order
Production runs against actual orders, so beans ship within days of roast rather than sitting in a warehouse.
