Grind

A uniquely British partnership

Founded in Shoreditch in 2011 and rooted in London’s vibrant coffee shop scene, Grind shares our commitment to exceptional quality with contemporary British creativity. 

With cafes across the capital and beyond, Grind has become a modern British icon – design-led, innovative and unmistakably London. 

Together, we’ve created a bespoke coffee crafted specifically for the unique conditions of flying, so your first sip tastes just as good in the sky as it does on the ground. 

Our British Airways x Grind blend is brewed using sustainably sourced, speciality-grade Arabica beans. Roasted in small batches, our blend delivers richness, balance and depth to each cup.

Barista-quality taste, crafted for the skies

Brewing coffee in the air is different. Cabin pressure and lower water temperatures affect how flavours develop, so alongside Grind’s Head of Coffee, we spent months refining a blend designed to shine at altitude. The result is a barista-quality cup that performs beautifully on board – smooth, bright and ready for take-off.

Wake up with a taste of London

Whether you’re headed to a meeting, a long-awaited holiday or if you’re simply on your way home, the British Airways x Grind blend has been lovingly brewed to brighten your day. 

We’re now serving our exclusive Grind roast in Club World and Club Europe. In First, our customers can enjoy their favourite cafe coffee in the sky, choosing from Grind’s speciality House Blend or Decaf Blend.

You can also enjoy a cup (or two) in our First and business lounges in the UK before you fly.
