Rest assured all our beans are speciality grade, ethically traded, fully traceable and kind to the planet.

Carbon Offsetting

We support two carbon-offsetting programmes that operate where some of our coffee is grown.

Rainforest Conservation in Colombia

Working with 2,000 people across 33 communities, the Chocó-Darián Rainforest Conservation project reduces community dependence on unsustainable timber extraction and agricultural practices such as cattle ranching.

Water Filtration and Cooking Stoves in Guatemala

This project distributes water filters and stoves that give access to clean water and improve cooking conditions by increasing fuel efficiency and reducing harmful indoor air pollution.

Grouts collection

Working with bio-bean we offer a grouts collection service that sees the grouts turned into a multitude of sustainable products including energy-savvy briquettes.

Our online shop is stocked with compostable, biodegradable and disposable options.

In the community

We’re supporting Only A Pavement Away, who help people facing homelessness find employment in the hospitality trade.

You can lend a hand, too, by enjoying our brand new coffee Fuel Their Day. With every pack sold, our customers donate 25p to the charity, and we at Roast & Ground will then match the donations, so that’s 50p per pack to Only A Pavement Away.
