When you sip a great cup of coffee in the morning, it’s easy to focus on what’s right in front of you - the rich aroma, the smooth finish, or that bright fruity pop. But behind every single bag of coffee we roast, there’s a story that starts thousands of miles away on small family and community-led farms and cooperatives across the global coffee belt.
At 92 Degrees, we are filtering out the noise in specialty coffee. To us, that doesn't just mean ditching the complicated jargon - it means making sure our coffee actively makes the world a little bit better.
When we source our beans, we look far beyond standard industry quality scores. We deliberately prioritise smallholders, farming cooperatives, and independent growers who are reinvesting directly back into their local communities.
Sourcing more than just beans...
The coffee supply chain can often feel distant, but the reality is simple: great coffee comes from thriving communities.
By choosing to work directly with small-scale farmers and organised co-ops, we help ensure that the people at origin feel and see the benefits, gaining the long-term stability and backing they need to build sustainable futures. We look for partners who care as much about their people and planet as they do about their harvest.
The Projects You’ve Helped Support
Here’s the best part: if you’ve ever grabbed a flat white in one of our coffee shops across the UK or brewed a fresh batch of whole beans at home, you are directly part of this story.
Through our sourcing choices and community-led initiatives, bags of 92 Degrees coffee bought have directly funded real, tangible progress on the ground at origin, including:
- Education: Supporting projects building schools and education networks.
- Health & Medical Access: Supporting rural healthcare initiatives and providing access to care in remote farming regions.
- Clean Water & Sanitation: Working with others to install clean water points and proper sanitation facilities for growing communities.
- Solar Power & Green Energy: Collaborating to help communities transition to solar energy, reducing carbon footprints while powering local hubs.
Damn Fine Coffee, Doing Global Good
We believe that specialty coffee shouldn’t be about pretension or gatekeeping. It should be about connection - connecting you to our roastery on Liverpool’s historic waterfront and straight to the incredible growers who cultivate every bean we roast.
Next time you dial in your morning brew, enjoy it knowing that your daily coffee isn't just tasting great, it's doing a little bit of good halfway across the world.
