Girl Crush

Milk Chocolate. Hazelnut. Blackberry

Medium Roast. Washed & Natural

Our best-selling coffee, Girl Crush, is our current coffee crush for espresso-based drinks and, honestly, she tastes just as delicious brewed in a French press.

Always sourced from incredible female producers, Girl Crush consistently delivers a perfectly balanced, full-bodied cup. Expect comforting notes of silky milk chocolate and toasted hazelnut, rounded off with just a hint of juicy blackberry. 

This medium roast is sweet and smooth, making her a true all-rounder. She’s equally at home served black or with milk, and needs very little faff to bring her full flavour profile to life. In short, she’s an absolute dreamboat, and guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser.

Girl Crush shines with a classic espresso recipe of 18g in, 36g out, extracted in 28–30 seconds. But we’ll be honest: she’s so forgiving that brewing a bad espresso is harder than brewing a banging one.

The Girl Crush blend, crafted by Girls Who Grind Coffee, offers a compelling study in balance by utilizing both washed and natural processing methods. While washed coffees are typically celebrated for their clean, bright acidity, natural-processed coffees often contribute a heavier body and more pronounced fruit-forward characteristics. By combining these techniques, this blend bridges the gap between traditional comfort and complex sweetness.

The resulting profile features notes of milk chocolate and hazelnut, which are classic hallmarks of a well-developed roast, alongside the vibrant, dark fruit acidity of blackberry.

This thoughtful approach to blending ensures a versatile cup that remains approachable yet layered.
