200 Degrees

200 Degrees started in 2012 in Nottingham, three blokes and an old roaster in a garage. They now operate from Heston House on Meadow Lane and roast more than 200 tonnes of coffee a year.

The wholesale arm serves over 500 clients across hospitality, universities, offices and venues including Motorpoint Arena Nottingham, The Alchemist and East Midlands Railway. A growing estate of coffee shops sits alongside barista schools and a senior leadership team that includes Faye on property, Siobhan on marketing and Nicki as financial director.

Sourcing leans on importer relationships built around fair pay and traceability rather than direct trade claims, with named partners such as Bette Buna. The decaf range uses sugarcane process for Brazil and mountain water process for Mexico.

This is large-scale specialty rather than micro-roastery, pitched at the mainstream end of the better-coffee market.
