2006 Seattle Espresso and Smoothie Truck for sale. Seattle's trucks are most notable for their onboard power and water systems, making them equally adaptable to route sales and special events. This vehicle stand stand alone in a field with no power or water hook-up and make espressos and smoothies all day.
I have been inspected at festivals in 4 states with this unit and no health department has found fault with any part of it. My current annual licenses are from the PA Dept of Agriculture and the Chester County (PA) Health Department.
There are no problems with the equipment or the truck itself except as follows: One side door of the truck body (that is, not the cab, but the equipment body) was damaged and rebuilt. It is structurally sound and locks, but does not match the other doors. The inside of the door is not clad, and the outside was covered with roll vinyl. The other two doors that access storage areas have suffered some corrosion to the sheet metal from manufacturer caulking and sealing issues. These could be reclad and appropriately caulked, or simply replaced. A savvy repairperson with sheet metal experience could probably do the recladding for a couple hundred bucks in materials and someone who just wanted to buy 3 new doors prehung on frames could, I believe, purchase them for about $3K.
This truck enabled me to start a business that continues to grow. I am selling it because I am opening a cafe in about 2 months in a location where I am also roasting. I'm just too busy with these activities to imagine that I will ever drive off into the mountains again to do festivals.
The truck has 27,000 miles on it, mostly highway. It has been well-maintained and was parked under cover between festivals. Originally $76K in 2006, it is available for $45K. It won't be for sale for long, because if I still own it a month from now, I'll gut it, sell the equipment on ebay, and sell the truck to a plumber. It's liquidation time for the former business model.
Component specifications:
Brazilia Portofino Super America – 2 group
Super Jolly Mazzer Grinder
Blendtec Blender
2 Beverage-Air Refrigerators, 6cf & 4cf
50 Amp Honda Generator
Xantac 30 Amp Inverter with 8 storage batteries
2 fresh water tanks, 1 waste tank
water heater for handwash sink

I have a spec sheet I used for health departments when applying for event permits that I will email if you inquire about the truck.
