If you grew up with Pokémon, this one is going to hit you with all the nostalgia. London coffee brand Grind has just teamed up with Pokémon to launch a special-edition collection, and it’s one of those drops that feels playful but surprisingly cool.
Landing just in time as Pokémon celebrates its 30th anniversary, the collaboration brings together three of the most beloved characters - Pikachu, Eevee and Mew, across a range of coffee accessories, apparel and drinks. And it’s the kind of merch that you actually want to be seen wearing on your morning coffee run.
At the centre of the collection are Grind’s signature refillable coffee tins, each designed around one of the characters. If you’ve seen Grind’s tins before, you’ll know they’ve become something of a collector’s item, and these might be their most covetable yet. Think bold, colourful designs that look just good on your kitchen counter.
There’s also a reusable Eevee coffee cup, a Pikachu and Eevee t-shirt, and a Mew cap, making it a proper lifestyle drop rather than just a novelty collab.
And of course, the drinks haven’t been forgotten. Two of Grind’s ready-to-drink iced coffees have been given a Pokémon makeover. There’s an Iced Caramel Latte featuring Pikachu and an Iced Oat Vanilla Latte featuring Eevee, both wrapped in limited-edition packaging that’s guaranteed to stand out in the fridge and make 3pm pick-me-ups all that more fun.
The collection is available now via Grind online and in selected stores, with the iced coffees also popping up in supermarkets including Sainsbury’s, Waitrose and Co-op.
