Let's get back to the Streets

If you were part of the first wave of coffees I brewed from Tuk Tuks, you know what it feels like.

The vibey atmosphere you find around a tiny three wheeled truck on a random street corner, that magically serves the most magnificent artisan coffees. 

The excitement and freedom of taking a moment to have a coffee that truly takes your breath away, while conversing with the most diverse and random range of people this city has to offer. 

Cooler boxes filled with ice to keep the milk chilled, while the ice in return is used to blend the Iced Coffees.

Biodegradable cups and everything eco friendly, something that goes hand in hand with the occasional hacky sack session we break loose.

Groovy tunes playing and the sun shining!

That's what it’s all about, 

and we want it back.

So with the COVID-19 Pandemic on the loose, the importance of an independent Tuk Tuk (which has always been a pipe dream) has become our top priority. In this uncertain time it not only takes the pressure off local businesses who used to kindly supply us with electricity, but gives us the opportunity to offer you a safe and sanitised environment in an open air setting, wherever, whenever!

So we’ve been scheming and dreaming, making plans to level up the Tuk Tuk’s freedom to roam the streets once more.

We’re not there yet, but WHEN we pull it off, it’s going to be glorious.

You can donate any amount from R4 to four million Rand.

What's in it for you?

- R350 and above gets you a limited addition The Grind Represent T-Shirt designed by the one and only Okay Deer, a once off shirt only available for supporters of the campaign.

- R3200 and above gets you a 20 hour Professional Baristas Course with one of The Grind's well known Baristas Ben or Pieter Schempers . 

We'll teach you the basic extraction principles that apply to all brewing, whether you run your own shop, have a Breville @Home (see what I did there) or brew Aeropress when hiking in the woods.

- R5000 and above gets you a private Tuk Tuk session, wherever, whenever, (in Polokwane of course) including up to 50 beverages of your choice for your guests.

Easy payment options available via card, @zapper_sa or @snappscanapp ?

We really appreciate your support.
