Parents are ringleaders of their circus and they need caffeine to keep the show going. I am mobilizing superior espresso for the ringleaders who deserve it most.
How Mobile Can You Go? TRANSPORTING THE CART.
Whenever I arrive at an event, the host says something like “Woah! How did you transport all of THAT in THIS car?!” Well, now I guess I can just share this video! 😹
A big piece to keeping this cart venture within reach was making sure it could all fit in the vehicle we already own. Buying a trailer seems like a must for many mobile coffee cart owners. But it doesn’t need to be! Yes, it’s a lot of work. However, by loading and unloading you get a chance to familiarize yourself with each piece and it forces you to really only take what is NECESSARY. This is supposed to be the most simple version of a mobile espresso setup. And using a minivan sure helps keep it simple.
I’ve come a long way. I used to need help with the sink and generator but now i can do it all solo.
Today I didn’t need my generator. When I do bring It, I remove one of the middle pilot seats and put the generator there. 💪🏻
Below is my packing list that I refer to for each and every event. I know when I first started, I scoured the internet to get some guidance on what I’d need. Hopefully this list helps someone else!
Let me know if i can answer any questions!

I’m starting a coffee cart! I plan to film some of the steps as I build this business from the wheels up! 🥰 Next week I’ll be talking more about my machine and how I plan to build the perfect cart! #coffee #mobileespresso #small business #coffeeculture #coffeecart #homebarista #coffeelady
hey Katey love your content! how did you know how to choose what coffee beans to choose from?
Hey Katey, thank you so much for the video please is the pdf still available?
What state are you located in? I’m looking at doing something similar to this I know refs vary by county but curious what states does this work with
Your video is so helpful!!!!!
That’s helpful. I’ve been interested in maybe starting a lemonade stand or a simple mobile coffee snack for parks. Wondering about the rules for that.
Thank You so much!!! I found the answer from this video, how should I make smoother pump working with the accumulator tank!
Hello there! I am curious about exposed wood laws. Like did you have to do anything with your wood?
Hello! I plan on doing a setup similar to this. I am making a separate handwashing station/3bin sink setup due to health code regulation. Do I need the Flojet to connect to these or can I just fill the hot water heater and use it as a standalone system?
Superb video! Is there a part list?
So for my coffee cart my water heater is only giving me lukewarm water instead of hot. Have you ever had an issue with this? And if so, how did you resolve it? I've called a ton of maintenance guy and the product company and no one seems to know how to fix it. My inspection was today and I had to cancel because of it so I'm trying to figure it out asap. Any input helps.
this is awesome
Wow Katey! You are amazing! I also have mobile coffee cart. I haven’t attended an event yet, but I’m starting to worry about how me, myself, and I can load and unload all the equipment and supplies. Seeing you do it gives me hope! Please reply with any advice for a solo entrepreneur. Thank you!
hi! Which filter would you recommend?
I have 13 months left in the military and am starting the process of starting my own mobile business.
What are the push fitting connectors you have in place for the water pump to the accumulator? It looks like 4
This is awesome! So much info that is so difficult to come by. I really appreciate it! Btw if that pdf is still available I would love to purchase it!
When using the predator inverter do you have any issues smelling gasoline and how quiet really is?
Thank you for sharing your tips ❣ Could you mind sharing what coffee machine are you using? ☺ Thank you!
do you have the pdf available yet?
Great informative video! Just so people aren’t getting confused when they’re headed to buy materials, the clear hose is called vinyl hose, not PEX. The other 3/8” white hose that you have comes in white (or even clear-ish white) and is called polypropylene. You actually CAN connect the John Guest push connect fitting to true PEX quite easily- the adapter can be bought at Home Depot or Lowe’s. Unfortunately most employees at Lowe’s and Home Depot are just associates and have very basic knowledge of the department they work in.
Dear Katey, tks for all the details you provided in your amazing video, just wanting to ask you the dimensions and where did you get your hand wash sink. tks
I’m so happy to have found you! I have a nuova simonelli 1 group volumetric and it’s a 120v
Where does any waste from espresso machine go to?
So are you using filtered water for the pitcher rinser and hand washing station? Could you put a T fitting to go from the accumulator directly to hand washing station and one to go directly to the filter>espresso machine? I bought the same setup but wanted to know if this was possible
What type of Grinder and Pitcher rinser do you use?
If nobody Has told you today you are amazing great job
Great video! Thank you so much for the insight. Do you ever run out of water for your espresso machine when using a 5 gallon tank?
This is super helpful!
Can i commission them to build me a cart? lol
Did you get a pdf I would love one
thank you for this video it has taught me so much!!! how do you transport your cart to the location you’re serving?
Is the pdf available? 😊
This is great!!! Thank you so much! Awesome job sharing your incredible work!
Hey i would love a pdf.. Was so excited to quit my job and start this coffee pop up business, but now this cart and permits is intimidating me
It can feel like a lot!! Just take it one step at a time and set some goals then call your health dept!
🥳🥳🥳🥳😎
🤣😆 hahaha your comic sans comment! totally agree
would love to hear more about the permit experience and if you go to a commissary kitchen.
Amazing video! thank you for sharing this was very helpful!
I know it differs by location, but were you required to have a commissary? I'm researching the permits and paperwork required for a cart and like you mentioned, most info is regarding coffee trucks, so it's been a bit confusing as to what's actually required.
Hi Katey! Love your channel so far, thanks for sharing your journey! :) I'm opening my own coffee cart in Atlanta and have been doing hourssss of research on espresso machines. The GS3 and the Linea Mini come up consistently, but they're super pricey and I'm looking to keep the startup costs down so the Vivaldi II looks like an attractive option! How has it been working for in a commercial capacity given that it's technically a home use machine? What's the highest volume that you've been able to produce per hour? I appreciate your help!
FANTASTIC video. I'll be happy to purchase your PDF, just to thank you for this great presentation! (Where can I find it?) :)
I'm in the process of starting up a coffee cart business myself. Glad to have found your channel.
. Im going to look for accumulators in my area. Thanks for this. Regarding the mini vivaldi machine, can it handle 100cups for guests like weddings or birthdays?
This video is so underrated. There are very few coffee carts in the US, at least on the East coast where I am. I spent SOOO much time trying to find answers for every step of the process. You really did a great job!!
💪Nice!
So cool that you’re getting trained by the roaster!
They want their beans tasting primo!
Nitty gritty!
Tell Guy Hello!!
I will !!!
