Grumpy Mule

HI THERE, I'M THE GRUMPY MULE.

We are an independent coffee roaster based in Meltham, Yorkshire UK. We pride ourselves on creating Award Winning Coffee that is meticulously sourced, ethically traded, and deliciously grumpy. Sustainability isn’t just a word for us here at Grumpy Mule, it’s an approach. Ethics isn’t just a slogan for us, it’s a commitment. Traceability for us is about the who, not the where. Oh, and of course, GREAT tasting coffee. To say that Grumpy Mule only cares about coffee is not entirely fair. He, and we, also care about our farmers, our growers, and our customers. And other mules. And carrots. And a well-placed scratch behind the ears.

OUR STORY.

Ever since we were founded in 2006, the mission has been to fight the blight of bad coffee. Coffee that’s throwaway, unethically sourced and tastes like an industrial accident. So we source fairly and sustainably, making sure that our growers share in our success. We roast with precision and care, making sure that we get the very best flavor from each and every bean that our growers have worked so hard to produce. And then we sell, making sure our customers see the zealous gleam in the eye. Because great coffees, truly great coffees, depend on every stage of the process being just right. That’s what drives Grumpy Mule.
