86 Degrees Coffee named premium UK dealer for de Jong DUKE

86 Degrees Coffee Ltd has been appointed as a Premium UK Dealer for Dutch coffee machine manufacturer de Jong DUKE, marking a significant milestone in the company’s growth and national reach.

Based in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, 86 Degrees Coffee Ltd. provides tailored coffee solutions to workplaces and commercial clients across the UK.  The dealership agreement includes the rights to sell, service, and support de Jong DUKE’s full portfolio of advanced coffee machines, trusted by businesses in over 60 countries.

At the heart of this collaboration is ConnectMe, de Jong DUKE’s two-way connectivity platform. Integrated into their machines, ConnectMe allows businesses to monitor usage and schedule maintenance remotely, activate energy-saving modes during idle periods, and share branded content, announcements, or promotions via the machine’s interface.

“Being named a Premium Dealer is a proud moment for us,” said Chris Harwood, speaking for 86 Degrees Coffee Ltd. “With de Jong DUKE’s innovation and our market expertise, we’re redefining what businesses can expect from their coffee solutions.”

Both companies share a vision for delivering high-quality coffee experiences while supporting environmental goals. de Jong DUKE machines feature energy-efficient modes, recyclable components, and advanced waste management systems.

To support the rollout of de Jong DUKE’s range, 86 Degrees Coffee is expanding its technical service network and planning a series of events, training sessions, and bespoke demos, both on-site and at proposed demo hubs nationwide. This expansion marks a new chapter for the Chesterfield business, which continues to grow its footprint while maintaining its commitment to quality and customer service.

86 Degrees Coffee Ltd. is part of the Chesterfield Champions network, a collective of businesses and organisations working together to promote Chesterfield as a great place to live, work, visit, and invest. Champions benefit from increased visibility, networking opportunities, and the chance to be part of a shared vision for the town’s future.
