We’re Kiss the Hippo, London‘s most innovative and sustainable specialty coffee company. We roast organic, planet-friendly coffee at our state-of-the-art roastery in London, then send it out to discerning coffee drinkers across the UK and beyond. 

We opened our roastery in 2018, and from day one it’s been a hub of sustainable innovation. Since then, we won the UK Barista Championships twice which is a humble reflection of our perfectionist ethos. Kiss the Hippo's ultimate aim is to be regarded as the superior coffee brand of its era.

At our cafés, our baristas are as passionate as they are highly-trained – that’s why they’ve now won the UK Barista Championships three years running, and why they’ve got the skills to run our SCA Certified Premier Training Campus where aspiring baristas from far and wide come to learn how it’s done. 

First and foremost, we’re devoted to creating the ultimate coffee experience. That’s why we put so much thought into our research, sourcing, tasting and quality checking, to ensure that the coffee in our coffee pods tastes just as good as the coffee we serve in our cafés.

We like to think that the quality of our coffee shows in the company we keep. After all, we’re proud members of such esteemed organisations as the Speciality Coffee Association, Coffee Roasters’ Guild, the Barista Guild and the Alliance for Coffee Excellence.
