Grinders has been part of Melbourne since 1962, and its 1 kg bags of beans ship Australia-wide from My Coffee Shop. Grinders started as a single storefront in Melbourne, and the company still roasts in the city today.
Three Grinders blends sit on our shelves. Classic Blend is the punchy one: Arabica from Brazil, Papua New Guinea, Costa Rica and Mexico with naturally processed Robusta for depth, built for strong milk coffees. Foundation Blend is a four-bean blend built on washed Arabica from Costa Rica, Papua New Guinea and Mexico with a Brazil bean for creamy body; it is a little sweeter and softer, with caramel, honeycomb and milk chocolate. Source FTO is the Fairtrade organic option, a three-origin blend from Ethiopia, Papua New Guinea and Nicaragua with a syrupy finish.
Milk coffee first
All three are medium roasts built for the Australian cafe habit of lattes and flat whites, so none of them will taste thin once milk goes in. If you drink long blacks as well, Foundation and Source hold their sweetness better on their own; if you want the fuller, more traditional cup, start with Classic. Each 1 kg bag is whole bean, and the suggested recipes on the Classic and Foundation product pages give you a starting dose and shot weight to dial in from.
Order before 3:00 pm Melbourne time on a business day and your coffee is dispatched the same day. Delivery is free over $200 within Australia and a flat $9.95 otherwise, or collect from our Abbotsford showroom; you are also welcome to visit our Lane Cove showroom in Sydney.
