Speciality coffee, clearly sourced
Better Coffee. Better Suppliers. Better Business.
A clearer starting point for UK hospitality teams, workplaces and independent coffee suppliers.
Office & Workplace Coffee
A better coffee setup for your team.
Share your office coffee needs privately. Supplier options depend on your location, requirements and participating suppliers.
Tasting requests are not bookings and depend on participating supplier availability.
For Suppliers
Find your place in the next coffee conversation.
Independent coffee and beverage suppliers can apply for consideration, then choose whether to respond to relevant buyer enquiries. Matches and replies are not guaranteed.
Supplier availability, matches, proposals, responses, introductions and sales are not guaranteed.

Proposals to review when received

Traditional sourcing, compared
Two ways to start the conversation.
Contacting suppliers individually
Contact suppliers directly and share what you need with each one.
Using BeanExchange
Send one enquiry about the needs you choose to include, then review any proposals suppliers submit.
Supplier availability depends on recorded coverage and participation. Suppliers choose whether to respond; a match or proposal is not guaranteed.
How BeanExchange works
Clear details make a better starting point for both sides.
Whether you're opening a new café, reviewing your existing supplier, upgrading equipment or looking to improve your beverage offering, use an enquiry to set out what your business needs. If suppliers submit proposals, you can review them through your private link.
01
For UK workplaces
Describe what your business needs.
Tell BeanExchange about your coffee, equipment and support needs. The team may consider suppliers whose profiles appear to fit; if a supplier sends a proposal, you can review it through your private link.

Speciality coffee
Describe the coffee you serve, the quality you want to work towards and the volume your hospitality business expects.

Include the machines, drinks menu and purchase, rental or lease preference that shape your operation.
