Bad Hand Coffee is the purist anchor: nationally respected as a roaster, with a Tasting Room and retail beans to take away. Maravi roasts their own in Westbourne; Ounce runs a house roast alongside a rotating guest programme.

The V60 is on the menu, not as a curiosity, and the barista behind it knows the difference. One of Bournemouth's more credible specialty stops.
Bad Hand Coffee as the house roaster, Moccamaster on the filter bar. The most considered cup Bournemouth offers.
The house roast and a rotating guest bean give you two genuinely different espresso options, with baristas who can explain the distinction. One of the more considered espresso setups in Bournemouth.
They roast on-site and sell retail, so the beans on the shelf are fresher than anything else in Bournemouth. Worth a visit for what's in the bag as much as the cup.
Specialist espresso in the Bournemouth Arcade, from a team that knows what a cortado is. The retail beans confirm the sourcing intent.
The espresso is the point here, not a footnote to the plant-based brunch. One of the more credible independents on the Bournemouth hill for the cup.
The Triangle's most espresso-focused bar. Come for the shot; the food is beside the point, and the regulars who've found it know that already.
Grounded Coffee's Sweet Breeze blend, Ethiopia and Guatemala in the cup, pulled into flat whites and cortados that do exactly what they should. The handmade cakes are worth staying for.
