Posted by J&J on 2007-08-15 16:11:33 Post Subject: Mobile espresso trailer for sale- East coast!
I have a mobile coffee shop for sale. I really hate to sell- but i just had a baby and it will be a few years before I'll have the opportunity to put in the kind of hours that really make this type of business profitable. I'm a school teacher during the day- if I could do it all, I would.
I used it for 1 season at a concert venue. We opened for 25 shows. I'd like to sell everything turnkey. Very clean, awesome setup.
6x10 concession trailer w/windows and a/c
brand new 2 group commercial machine (manufactured by CMA) (they make Astoria and Rio)
brand new commercial vitamix blender
brand new astoria espresso grinder
bunn brewer + airpots
refrigerator
4 sinks
fresh and grey water tanks
hot water heater
tons of syrups, sauces, and paper supplies
Cart needs a power supply or you can purchase a generator
Our venue supplied us with 1- 220/20amp circuit + 2-110/20 amps
Please contact me if you are interested. $20000 OBO. I'm going to attempt to post some pics of the cart.

Going mobile is more of an experiment then actual advice. Most of it will depend on the vehicle and the maximum gross weight it can handle. After you figure all this out then you can design your mobile coffeehouse.
Things to consider, size of espresso machine, size of coffee brewer, electrical (wiring and generator 110v vs. 220v this will also determine the type of espresso machine and coffee brewer), water (hot and cold), waste water, refrigeration, and storage. After all this don't forget to tack on how many people will work in the van (its added weight too).
Your weight is a key component and it determines everything. The last couple of mobile coffeehouses I saw failed because they overloaded the vehicle and couldn't keep up on maintenance to keep it rolling. That and the overhead was probably killing them (maintenance cost and gas mileage).
I would probably be looking at a delivery vehicle of some type. Nothing that sits to high. The big question is do you buy new or used. If you’re a handy mechanic, or have a cheap one then used isn't a bad option. But if you’re paying $70/hour and loosing $60/hour than that’s not going to look to good on the books either.
If you look elsewhere in this forum, you will find other people who are doing or are trying to do the same thing. I believe if you truly want to do this and do it right your going to have to spend more then you'll want to invest.
If I was setting up a mobile coffee shop I would buy new vehicle, new espresso machine, used coffee brewer, used refrigerator, maybe used storage and waste tanks, and new generator. Cars, espresso machines, and generators are complicated pieces of equipment and have a high price tag to fix. Most coffee brewers rely on gravity so there are very few moving or complicated parts. I could say the same thing about fridges but they to can become expensive.
Lastly, don’t forget to check your local and state codes. Nothing sucks worse then being inspected and told you have to dump another $2000 in to something you hadn’t planned for. Especially if you redesign or even scrap the whole project.
