Our New Favourite Coffee Company!

When Jordan Karcher happened upon a dog adoption event in Santa Monica, California in the spring of 2012, he had no intention of adopting a dog. But when a malnourished Dalmatian crawled in his lap, it was clear he nonetheless had a new family member. Fast forward two years and this Dalmatian is now the face of Karcher’s upstart coffee company, Grounds & Hounds Coffee Co., and the inspiration behind its mission to give back. Not only do Grounds & Hounds beans make a mean brew but 20 percent of all their revenue is donated to a rescue partner located closest to the product’s point of purchase. Karcher created Grounds & Hounds with two goals: produce quality coffee and fund dog rescue efforts around the country.

“We strive to support the hard-working, local rescue organizations with funds generated by your purchase, which will help give our sheltered friends the second chance that they deserve,” Karcher explains. Grounds & Hounds green coffee is 100 percent fair trade and organic certified and is carefully sourced from the best growing regions in the world. They then roast and blend each batch to ensure an “amazing experience.” Karcher’s dedication to both dogs and coffee is abundantly clear: “Our passion for rescuing dogs is only rivaled by our passion for creating the perfect coffee.” And that, folks, is how we ended up with a new favourite coffee company!
