Founded in 2014 in Liverpool, 92 Degrees Coffee has expanded rapidly across the UK, emphasising quality, ethical sourcing, and sustainability. With notable community contributions and an innovative retail model, they offer “”Damn Fine Coffee™”” products in-store and online.
92 Degrees Coffee, founded in Liverpool in 2014, has evolved from a single roastery café to become one of the UK’s fastest-growing specialty coffee businesses. The company has experienced significant expansion, particularly following a £1.4 million investment in 2022, which has enabled them to grow their presence across the UK with approximately 20 locations across the Northwest and Scotland.
The company distinguishes itself through its commitment to both quality and sustainability. Their roastery operation carefully selects green coffee beans from farms worldwide, with a strong focus on ethical sourcing and sustainable practices. Since 2016, they’ve demonstrated their social responsibility by contributing over £17,800 to Project Waterfall, providing clean water, sanitation, and hygiene facilities to over 714 people in coffee-growing communities.
What sets 92 Degrees apart is their innovative approach to both retail and sustainability. They were early adopters of the Frugal Cup, an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional disposable cups, demonstrating their commitment to reducing environmental impact. In 2024, they’ve continued their expansion with notable openings including a new location at Liverpool Lime Street station, while also bringing their brand agency in-house through Redefine Studio to maintain consistent quality across their growing network.
Their business model combines specialty coffee roasting with retail operations, offering a comprehensive range of coffee products both in-store and online under their “Damn Fine Coffee™” brand. The company maintains high standards across their expanding network while focusing on creating genuine connections within local communities.
Recent developments include a £3 million funding round launched in September 2023 to support further expansion efforts, and the continued growth of their retail presence. Their success story represents a remarkable journey from a Liverpool independent to a significant player in the UK’s specialty coffee sector, maintaining their commitment to quality and sustainability while scaling operations.
