What about FreshGround?

We’ve outlined some of the key pros and cons for a handful of the UK’s top office coffee suppliers. This is our industry, so we understand what really matters when choosing a provider.

You’ll notice we haven’t included ourselves in this list. That’s deliberate.

We have a whole website full of content that explains what we offer and where we add value. But in this guide, we wanted to take a step back, highlight our competitors, and offer an honest look at what they do well.

So, which coffee supplier is the best?

That depends entirely on what matters most to your workplace.

Maybe you’re prioritising carbon neutrality. Maybe you need a nationwide service team. Maybe you’re focused on traceability, B Corp status, or supporting a women-owned business. Every supplier in this list brings something different to the table, and there’s no single “best” for everyone.
