Farmhand Coffee Roasters is a small Irish team that has been sourcing, roasting and serving coffee since 2018. Its founder, Pete, found his passion for coffee working behind the bar of a Dublin café. With the support of that café’s owners he learned to roast and launched Farmhand, and the micro-roastery now works from the small space where the café first started.

The aim is a platform for producers to show their crops on the Irish and European markets, and a direct link between communities on both sides of the Atlantic that brings farmers better economic opportunities. In 2024, with Luz Helena Salazar of Finca Maracay and Alex Geldenhuys of New Dawn Traders, Farmhand imported a cargo of Colombian beans by sail, a journey of around six months there and back.

Wholesale coffee goes out in refillable packaging. Deliveries within Dublin are made by bicycle, and regional orders travel in electric vans. Its coffee is poured in cafés across the city, Two Pups among them, and at restaurants from Skerries to Kilkenny, and its beans are sold in food shops as far as Galway.

The range is split into espresso and filter. The espresso side has Dungarees, a signature blend of Colombian and Brazilian coffees developed with baristas across Dublin, a Tumbaga sugarcane decaf, and single origins from Ethiopia, Peru and Brazil. Filter runs to lots from Kenya, Ethiopia and Guatemala. Farmhand also sells tea and matcha under its own name.
