Eighty9

Eighty9 is a Dublin-based coffee roastery and cafe at 64 Lower Georges Street, Dun Laoghaire, founded in 1989 as the Irish arm of J.J. Darboven, a specialist coffee and tea company.

The name references the founding year. Coffee is roasted on-site using a Probat machine, and the roastery operates with 20 solar panels that generate over 7.98 kWh of renewable energy, reducing the site's carbon footprint by around 34% per year.

Eighty9 operates as a wholesale supplier of coffee and commercial espresso equipment, covering everything from machine supply and installation through to barista training and ongoing technical servicing. They also run a training academy open to industry professionals and enthusiasts.

The Dun Laoghaire location is both a working roastery and a retail cafe.
