Cafédirect Group is a London-based coffee roaster and packer operating in the UK food and beverage services sector. The company emphasizes direct sourcing from growers and fair pay, with cooperatives supported to provide local training; growers own shares and participate on the board, giving them a role in governance and profit decisions. Its business model centers on social impact and ethical sourcing rather than conventional supply chains. Cafédirect markets several coffee brands, including Cafédirect, Grumpy Mule, and Eros, and provides roasting and packaging services, including private label and bespoke brands. The company pursues sustainability, using renewable energy, prioritizing organic coffee, and ensuring all packaging is recyclable, reusable, or compostable. In June 2023 it completed the acquisition of Grumpy Mule, expanding its brand portfolio.
