Bad Hand Coffee roasts from a converted warehouse in Bournemouth's Triangle district, having operated previously as South Coast Roast from 2012 before rebranding in 2018. The founders' earlier venture, a specialty coffee shop called Boscanova in Boscombe, opened in 2007 and was eventually passed on to a staff member. The roastery runs on solar panels, delivers locally by cargo bike and electric van, and ships online orders in plastic free packaging. Trade customers receive beans in reusable buckets that are collected, cleaned, and recirculated, saving hundreds of bags each month. The coffee itself is strictly small batch, focusing on specialty micro lots that are ethically sourced. The warehouse doubles as a shared creative space, housing several small businesses and artists alongside the roasting operation.
