About Us & Our Services

Since 2009, we have operated our small independent mobile coffee business with a clear vision. That vision was to do it better and offer higher standards in presentation, execution and meeting requirements. It included, well thought through event planning, logistics, client and customer service, barista skills, quality of equipment, product and ingredients that delivered a superior range of drinks. This meant being passionate, a bit geeky, taking care, being ethical, organic, fair-trade and beyond, eco friendly and always retaining a strong sense of quirkiness and fun. Above all, to love what we do.

To deliver a professional mobile barista service, with an on-the-spot speciality coffee experience served directly to paying customers, clients, guests or target markets virtually anywhere in the UK, is possible.

This mobility is achieved with a self contained, high specification coffee cart conversion of the classic and iconic Italian Piaggio Ape van. With dual fuel capability (powered independently by battery, gas and invertor or electricity), it can operate virtually anywhere indoors or outdoors.

But it hasn’t stopped there. We constantly strive to develop, evolve and implement fresh ideas with solutions that meet clients’ and consumers requirements. it’s about sourcing quality equipment, product and ingredients, our own continuous training, knowledge gaining and working with like-minded people/baristi.

With the experience and expertise already gained in delivering and operating a high quality mobile coffee service in diversified types of work and environments, our clients appreciate our pro-active approach and getting involved in their brief. This means giving feedback, ideas and problem solving solutions, in order to ensure their event runs as smoothly and successfully as possible and that their objectives are met.

Therefore, we can now offer so much more. To see how we’ve evolved and expanded our services, take a look below.
