This is Lisa-Marie and Lasana. They’re coffee snobs.

Lisa-Marie is an artist so you know she’s got good taste. Lasana is a neuroscientist so he’s definitely done his research. And they both love Grind.

Whether they’re slow-steeping our ground coffee in a cold brew bottle or making an emergency espresso, they keep their standards high. As should we all. Because everyone’s a coffee snob now, and we craft coffee for everyone.

What’s better than an iced coffee? Free iced coffee.

The catch? You have to work for it. We’ve put tear-off posters on buildings and lampposts near each of our cafés. All you have to do is locate a poster, tear off a token and exchange it at Grind for your free Summer Serve.

(Participating Grind locations only. Excludes Waterloo Station and National Theatre.)
