Grumpy Mule Kick-Ass House Blend Ground Coffee

It's our story, our signature blend.

The coffee industry was built upon the backs of mules. Delivering freshly picked coffee down the mountain from high altitudes. In their honour, our specialty grade blend from Brazil and Honduras is smooth & moreish.

Kick-Ass coffee at it's finest.

NO-NONSENSE BREWING TIPS

FOR CAFETIERE / FILTER
Measure two level dessert spoons (15g) of ground kick-ass coffee to 250ml of water per cup. Pour over water that's come off the boil (92-96°c), or else you could burn the brew.

FOR ESPRESSO
In your machine, add 14-18g of ground coffee for a double shot. Extraction time around 25 seconds.

Smooth and moreish with caramel & milk chocolate tasting notes

Brazil and Honduras

Once opened, seal the pack tightly with a clip or peg. No need to put in the fridge, that's nonsense.

Grumpy Mule

Great Coffee Shouldn't Be Hard to Find. But frankly, it can be a right old fuss.

That's why we've put in the hard work for all you coffee lovers. We head to high altitudes to source the best crops.

Then back here in Yorkshire, we get roasting with a stubborn attention to detail. All done with our no-nonsense approach.

The result?

All our coffee is 100% Fairtrade. That means every bean you sip helps farmers handle the ups and downs of growing coffee in tricky climates and also supports them in taking care of the local environment.

Organic - More than half of our coffee range is organic-certified. We’re talking nature-friendly farming with minimal impact on the environment.

Reducing harmful emissions - We’re on a mission to cut down our greenhouse gas emissions. Our parent company, Cafédirect Group, is all in with the Science Based Targets initiative, which means our targets are solid, not just talk. They’re the only UK coffee company with a science-based plan to hit net zero by 2040. Just one of the many ways we’re working towards a greener future is by using recyclable coffee packaging.
