Brewed By Hand

What Brewed By Hand does

Brewed By Hand is a UK-based B2B wholesale distributor of premium specialty coffee equipment, operating primarily through its trade storefront at trade.brewedbyhand.com (a Shopify-based platform). The company curates and resells third-party brands including Hario (V60 drippers, scales, kettles), Wilfa (electric grinders such as the Svart and Zense), Loveramics (cups and ceramics), Comandante, Baratza, ESPRO, OutIn, Aeropress, Sage, Peak Water, xBloom, and Felicita, serving cafes, restaurants, hotels, and hospitality businesses seeking "best in class" specialty coffee gear.

The product catalogue spans coffee grinders (electric and manual), brewing equipment (V60, Aeropress, French press, syphons, cold brew), espresso machines (including portable options), tea equipment (Hario Matcha Collection), kitchen appliances (Wilfa ProBaker NXT), water filtration (Peak Water), tasting cups, and accessories. The platform is structured around account-gated wholesale pricing, curated bundle deals (Grind Fresh, Bundle & Save) with 30-57% discounts, and a drop shipping service ("BBH Drop Shipping") that supplies partners from BBH inventory. Beyond the storefront, the company runs a content/blog channel, an email newsletter, organic social (Facebook, X, Instagram), and an events presence including masterclasses at the London Coffee Festival's Brew School.

Revenue mechanics are wholesale hardware sales with a pay-as-you-go trade-account pricing model; pricing is hidden behind login, VAT is added at checkout, and free shipping kicks in at £150. No revenue, headcount, funding, or ownership information is disclosed in the input data, and no parent, PE, or venture backing is indicated, leaving the company as an independent, privately-held wholesale business of undisclosed scale.
