Coffee Merch Hits the Coast

Wow, what an incredible three and a half weeks it’s been down in Brighton! Known as one of the biggest coffee hubs, and home to a lot of coffee lovers — our favourite kind! We honestly couldn’t have picked a better place to bring Coffee Merch to life.

From the moment we started setting up to the second we opened our doors, it was non-stop excitement. The space came alive with some of the best coffee equipment out there - all thanks to our wonderful brand partners, giving visitors the chance to get hands-on, test drive, and experience the store properly. Add to that our jam-packed calendar of takeovers, cuppings, and collaborations, and the support of our ever-growing coffee community… It was a dream!

When Coffee Meets Creativity

Our weekends were absolutely buzzing with energy, filled with incredible brand takeovers, latte art competitions, and local collaborations that brought the Brighton coffee community together in full force. From La Marzocco Home and Fellow takeovers with live demos and interactive showcases, to the Minor Figures x Morning x OMGTea throwdown - it was non-stop fun!

The Minor Figures team hosted a latte art extravaganza featuring the Morning Mini and Morning Dream, while OMGTea brought their top-grade matcha for tasting and some seriously impressive pours. Visitors were invited to grab a pitcher, test their skills, and join in on the fun, with Polaroids snapping up all the excitement.

EXPLORE MORNING

Community Cuppings

Our local cupping sessions were another highlight. Throughout the pop-up, we featured some of Sussex’s best local roasters - all of whom you could shop for right here in our store. So, we thought it only right to come together and taste them all!

The store was filled with the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee, and whether you were brand new to cupping or had a finely tuned palate, it was a joy to see everyone come together to learn, taste, and celebrate coffee in its purest form. It perfectly captured what this community is all about; curiosity, connection, and a shared love for coffee.

We were so proud to showcase and celebrate these incredible local roasters who helped make our Brighton pop-up truly special: Skylark, Trading Post, 17GRAMS, Tigermoth, Roasted, Pharmacie, Milk Shed, Horsham Coffee, Small Batch and Back Yard.

SCA AUTHORISED RESELLER

Farmers Voice Radio

We were truly humbled by the support shown for Brighton’s local roasters. Every bag of coffee sold contributed to Farmers Voice Radio, an amazing organisation that empowers smallholder farmers across Africa and Latin America through community radio. By stocking coffee from local roasters and supporting such an impactful cause, we were reminded of how powerful this community can be when we come together.
