86 Degrees Coffee
Founded by Dawn and Chris, 86 Degrees Coffee Ltd is a Chesterfield-born business with a bold vision to energise the town’s hospitality and corporate sectors through smart coffee solutions, unforgettable experiences, and strategic partnerships. As the UK Premier Dealer for de Jong DUKE coffee machines and the driving force behind CUP Strategic Alliance (Connected UK Partners), 86 Degrees is setting a new standard in business coffee culture, blending sustainability, technology, and great taste.
Rooted in Chesterfield’s community spirit, Dawn brings strong local ties from her previous roles in public service and strategic partnerships. This isn’t her first venture but a return to familiar ground with fresh ambition. Since starting the business, she and Chris have grown lasting relationships and shaped a brand that’s as much about people as it is about coffee.
From hosting dynamic business networking events to creating hands-on feedback experiences, 86 Degrees is more than a coffee company. It’s a catalyst for conversation, collaboration, and growth. As Chesterfield Champions, the team is dedicated to supporting local causes, building pride in the area, and attracting bigger businesses into the town.
“Chesterfield is where 86 Degrees Coffee’s story began and where our ambition continues to grow. It’s a town full of character, creativity, and opportunity.” Says Dawn, Co-Founder. “Being a Champion means being able to give back, leading boldly, and helping our community thrive.” Dawn, Co-Founder.
