Bad Hand Coffee

Bad Hand Coffee roasts in Bournemouth's Triangle, working out of a converted warehouse at 7 Norwich Road that doubles as a public Tasting Room. The team's coffee history in the town goes back to 2007 with Boscanova, followed by South Coast Roast in 2012, before they sold both cafes in 2018 to focus on roasting and rebranded as Bad Hand.

Sustainability runs through the operation rather than sitting alongside it. Wholesale orders are delivered by electric van, charged on site from the roastery's own solar panels and a green energy supplier, and reusable buckets replace disposable packaging on trade rounds.

The decaf is Swiss Water processed Guatemalan, chosen for being kinder to the coffee and the environment. Alongside roasting, the team supplies and installs espresso equipment for wholesale customers as a distributor for Conti, Compak, Ditting, Fetco and La Marzocco, with free staff training and in-house servicing.

The Tasting Room is open Tuesday to Saturday for retail, brew gear and order pickup.
