😂 Right on!
hey, hey..look at me, you're my coffee captain now. Great job man 👍🏼
Thank you!
Very inspirational Napo! Your videos and Instagram posts are helping me formulate some plans to get my dream of owning a coffee business off the ground.
My pleasure! This makes me happy, thank you. : )
NapoHBarista TV I may be hitting you up in the future for some tips if you don't mind.
I appreciate your detailed video, along with information on parts used. Thank you.
Great video man! Hard to find cart videos. This was super helpful!
Shem Doupe My pleasure. Thanks for watching. : )
Thought I would throw a few things out there, food for thought :D , I've had pump issues over the years and the main cause has been 1. Weather and 2. Vibrations. I placed mine too close to my wheels in the coffee truck and over time the face plate on shurflo broke off. So that's something to think about... the other thing is weather. If the cart/truck freezes over then the pump is the first thing to go. They're not cheap to replace. An idea would be either insulate or use pipe heater, if your in a colder climate. Either way, I think you video looks absolutely great and I'm glad you shared it!
Thank you! Your advice was very helpful, as we plan to re-arrange and make some additions to our cart. I don't think we'll be selling coffee out in the cold, but I think it's a great idea to isolate and insulate the pump.
God bless you Joe!
NapoHBarista TV
How would you suggest to isolate a pump by itself?
Hey Austin! Read the comment below to get an idea of what I have in mind for our cart in the near future.
Thanks!
Hey Austin, not sure if it helps, but on my truck we used PEX tubing system. Super easy to cut. Super easy to put in place. Our pump is 12v (as well as some other lighting: It's nice to be able to get water and light without having to plug in), so we have it next to a small golf cart battery and it works well. The pump is constantly on and the only time that it draws water is when I open my water spigot. Hope that helps!
You just got yourself a new subscriber. You are pretty thorough with your video. Thanks. 😊
Hey NapoH.
Great job and thank you!!
I'm currently setting up a wee mobile coffee truck.
It's an Ape (pronounced: Ar-pay).
Italian Vespa car being resto ed in Canada.
Your video is super helpful.
So thanks again for sharing
Matt.
Matthew Tynan Matthew Tynan I'm glad it was helpful Matt! Thanks for the encouraging words. I pray all the best with your coffee truck. I think it's a really nice idea!
Napo
This is my man , glad I found you
I’m doing similar setup for my coffee shop
Thank you, the pleasure is mine.
Congratulations!
Good video, but I believe your installation is upside-down; you don't want fluid flowing down to the electric motor. I also think your filter is upside down. Shurflo manual - "The pump may be mounted in any position. However, if mounting the pump vertically, the pump head should be in the down position so that in the unlikely event of a leak, fluid will not enter the motor."
Thank you Steve!
Yes I agree with you, the pump and accumulator is upside down and the electrical should be separate and with GFCI outlets. We actually changed our setup over a year ago and re-installed them following the instructions written in the manual. Thanks for pointing this out, I’ve been really busy and have been unable to make an update video.
Maybe a GFCI outlet next to that pump because of the water. Basically a kill to other outlets if it gets wet
Totally. My whole electrical setup would be completely different if I were todo it all over. Thanks Amigo!
Lookin great man! Cant wait to see the finished cart in action!
Thanks Isaac! Soon I'll be posting a short video of our setup. : )
Dude you're Rad. Very concise explanations and straight forward. Thanks man! Have fun!
Thank You! I really appreciate it.
If you want that accumulator to fully drain, so you can winterize, you probably want to mount it with the tank facing up not down.
Hey thanks for your input!
Yeah we quickly realized that the accumulator was mounted upside down and switched it right away. We also made a significant amount of upgrades since the release of this video. I should probably post a part two. lol
Hi! I’m wondering if you have any advice on how to best power all of the equpitment. Did you get a breaker box for the cart?
what a dope video man! thanks so much for putting this together and well done
Man this is exactly what I need it! Thank you so muuuch
Pump is mounted the wrong way! 🙃Black Pump head should be down, motor up! In case of a leak in the pump water goes down into the motor!
Good job there...you gave me confidence to do this
Helped me out loads thank you I'll be back watching this soon
Amazing work!!! Continue to follow your dreams.
Thanks You! : )
Awesome video, glad you made it!
Thank you, the pleasure is mine.
Some them pumps void warranty if not using a filter on the inlet.
You're a legend, thanks bro!
Great video! I installed one my self with your instructions and it works great! Do you have any tips for cleaning the inside of the pump to get rid of some bad odors?
Wow cool! Thank you. I don’t have any tips for cleaning the pump, perhaps just letting fresh run through it for a period of time is enough. We wound up installing a water purification system to supply our espresso machine as well.
This is the video Ive been looking for! I want to do this for my at home coffee bar! My apartment only has a sink in the kitchen, every time I have to turn to the kitchen to rinse my pitchers or dump my pour over rinse. Can I leave the pump on 24/7? or I have to shut it off when I am not using? Thank you!
Is it as simple as splitting at the accumulator to feed the espresso machine and the pitcher rinser?
PLEASE move the electrical away from the water. If your pump leaks it can spray water all over your outlets and cause a serious accident. For your safety and others please move it to the other side away from the pump and sinks.
Hey James, thanks for the heads up. There are a number of things that I plan to add/change, including separating the pump from the electrical. I will do so ASAP. 👍
Hey mate u make easy my life, thank so much. Coz I didn’t know how to do the connection, 💪❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your welcome! 👍
Great job!
Thank you!
Has anyone made a coffee cart business and done all the work themselves and been approved by their health department? Any suggestions as to how to get your electrical and water system approved by the health department when doing the work yourself?
How much did you pay for the rinser when you did this? I only ask because of the rise of inflation. I want to compare.
Awesome. Great job
thank you so much
Why do you need the accumulator?
Amazing video! Can this pump handle an espresso machine and pitcher rinser?
Great video brother.
Great and informative video! One question, are you able to connect a small hand sink to this water pump system ? So the coffee cart can have a pitcher rinser sink AND linea mini run under the same plumbing. Thank you so much for your time in answering this! I am opening up a coffee catering business in Las Vegas and that is my main objective to accomplish because the rest of the build out will be easier once I have the plumbing down :)
Thank you! the short answer is yes. But I'd probably go with a bigger accumulator tank so your system can handle greater demand. Sorry it took so long to respond. Hope it's not too late. If you already purchased the accumulator I have, it should work fine, as long as your not washing your hands while someone is rinsing a pitcher. This will cause a pressure drop. The line pressure requirements for the Line Mini is not much. You can also use a separate pump for your espresso machine, like a Flojet. Check out these videos:

Hope this information is helpful.
Just out of curiosity, not sure where you are working, but doesn't the Health Dept want to see plans of how you do things? I know in LA, they are so strict. A GFI would of been required, and I am sure you have done it already. I also was wondering about the back splash and the plastic wrap, is that allowed? Maybe build a 4 inch wall around it? I like what you got going but one other question. Will you always be working where you have access to electric to power the espresso machine because even a 110V machine will need a small generator like a Honda S2000 to power it. You are very adept at electrical and DYI. Keep it up!
Hey Pat, thanks for commenting.
We are not yet a company, we only serve coffee at our home church for special events. Since we are within the church walls, we fall under the umbrella of the church. We setup a short distance away from a full commercial kitchen. From my understanding, the health department is mainly concerned with food and perishables. We do not sell food at all, and the only perishable we handle is whole milk. Our milk is kept in refrigerators until we are ready to serve. While in service, we keep our milk in a cooler with ice packs to keep it cold (1 gallon at a time). for now a 15- 20 Amp receptacle is all we need. You are right, a food permit and generator will be needed to serve coffee outdoors to the public. All of our equipment is NSF approved and meets the high standards of the health department. The plastic wrap was just to prevent the cup rinser from damage while in storage. We have made some cool upgrades since the release of this video. Soon I will make an update video.
Below is a link to a video of our espresso bar set-up. We no longer provide decaf and pour-over. Thanks for running in! : )

Hi, why are you using a water pump?, is because you dont a good presion of water?-
Thanks for that awesome video. It very informative. Kudos
This was so helpful! Thank you! Do you use the same 5 gal water jug for your pitcher rinser and your espresso machine?
The pleasure is mine. We chose not to plumb our Linea Mini with this setup. To plumb in you machine and use the pitcher rinser at the same time you would need a bigger accumulator so you don’t run low on water pressure. This can potentially ruin your machine. You will need a tank that can store enough water at a minimum of 35 PSI to meet the demand of your espresso machine and rinser.
I'm enjoying your videos! :)
Thank You! It really is a pleasure to share.
Hello, we have JABSO MODEL: 30573-003, and it is empty air. How to recharge this tank? Please help, thanks
Not sure, mine came pressurized. Refer to the manual.
Hey Napo! This vid is amazing, well done. thanks for the vid tho.
i just got a question to ask is the water from that carboy normal drinking water or is it mixed with cleanser, sanitizer?
Thanks you! I'm glad you like it.
It's just normal tap water for now. It's currently only being used to rinse our milk jugs after we steam milk. In the future we want to connect a water filter and get our coffee machines plumbed in.
NapoHBarista TV hey brother! I’m planning on running this same set up. Is the condenser what sets the pressure lines to keep the reservoir on the espresso machine filled?
solid
What is the purpose of the accumulator? What are you doing to get water to your machine and a drain from your machine? Thanks
An accumulator basically stores water at a set pressure. We have a water tank connected to a water pump. The pump then fills the accumulator with water. Our accumulator is set to 35 PSI. This helps us maintain the pressure we need to operate our pitcher rinser. The more water we can store at 35 PSI (without having the pump Continuously running), The more suitable it’ll be for multiple connections. If you want to plumb your espresso machine, batch brewer, sink and pitcher rinser, you’ll need a bigger accumulator so you can use multiple machines simultaneously with required pressure.
We cone t our drain line to a waste tank.
Hope this information is helpful.
Thanks for the details. Very good information.
Hey there @NapoHBarista. I know it's been a few years but just wondering if you are indeed still using this pump and how it's been performing. Also hoping you can confirm that it is NSF Rated for safe drinking water and that you've never noticed any taste from it? Thanks so much!
Hey there! We haven’t used the pump in the last ten months. However, the pump is still working and I hope to be back in business soon. The pump is NSF approved as well as the accumulator tank. Our water tastes great, no issues with off flavors. If you clean your tank and flush your lines regularly, you shouldn’t have a problem.
Hey bro, so this is is necessary to get permit huh?
Awesome video, this video gives me the confidence to install a jug rinser myself.
One question. Do you think that the Shurflo 4008 would be sufficient for my needs if I am just going to pump a jug rinser?
I have no plans to plumb in my machine. Trying to keep my coffee cart as light and energy efficient as possible
Hey glad you found our video helpful! My apologies for the late response... Yes that pump should be fine for what you want todo. However I think the Flojet BW5000 would be a better option.
His face looks like that actor in prison break . I forgot his name 😬
LOL I get that often! Good eye. : )
Great information man ! Thanks for sharing. Just a quick question, what did you use for t connect from accumulator to machine and rinser ?
1/2 inch T fitting before out filter to send unfiltered water to the rinser, and the other side to our water filtration system.
NapoHBarista TV thank you sir for this amazing video.
shoulda got a flotec its quieter..
How did your inspection go?
Hey man, great video!
Great set up! Help me a lot! Do you know of a filter system for the water?
Thanks Man! I would recommend the EVERPURE CLARIS by PENTAIR. However, it really depends on your water testing results. The CLARIS gives you the ability to adjust the amount of filtration needed to protect your machine and yield great tasting espresso. More information can be found by clicking the link below: Thanks for checking in!

Hello, what is the name is that half inch adaptor that connects both pumps. Do you know where I can get that adaptor separate? Thank you
Awesome Modeling Hello! It's a SHURflo 2088 adapter (1/2" to 1/2"). Yes it can be purchased separately on Amazon.
Here's the link: SHURFLO 2088 ADAPTOR - 1/2"-14 F-NPT SWIVEL NUT X 1/2"-14 F-NPT SWIVEL NUT, NYLON, P/N 244-2866 www.amazon.com/dp/B01KF6MA8I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_EtxTybB0ZQJRS
Hey Napo! Love the videos, I'm working on building an espresso cart myself for our company. Could you share your carts dimensions with me please? I want to make sure i build enough room for a drip machine and the water tanks for the machine and rinser.
Hope all is well!
Are you using the pump and accumulator to supply the espresso machine as well? How are you plumbing the drip tray of the espresso machine?
Hi, no haven’t had the chance to plumb our espresso machine. Todo so, we would need a larger accumulator tank and install check valves to regulate pressure. The drip tray hose will drain into the waste tank.
need a gfi , when oring blows out, yu dont short out
So Helpful thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
@@NapoleonRinconHomeBarista Yea man! Really appreciate you making this. I'm getting ready to do my plumbing soon. Hey, do you by chance have any links to electrical systems for a mobile coffee setup? I am building out my 1976 VW Bus to be a mobile cafe @greenbuscafe and really need some help with breaker boxes and hooking up my electrical to a generator.
Nice!!! Yeah I have a link or two. But, that sounds like a big job and it’s one that will have to pass inspection. I suggest you to go to your local electrical shop and ask for guidance.
This may unit may work. I don’t think you would need more electricity than this for a coffee truck/cart. All you need todo is hook it up to a generator. It’s pricey but all the work is done for you. Here’s the link: www.cmcespresso.com/product.asp?specific=323
NapoHBarista TV This looks like it could be a good choice. I am leaning into having a professional do the job, I just gotta make sure I stay on budget. Thanks again man. I really appreciate ya!
Thanks so much for this video, it's a great resource. Question. Are you able to split off after the accumulator for both the rinser and an espresso machine, or would also plumbing the machine require a second Shurflo system? I would think (or at least hope) it could be split. Would appreciate your feedback!
Hey there! Yes I believe you can split it after the accumulator. I would convert the 1/2" NTP to 3/8", then add a 3/8" TEE Adapter. I would also add a shutoff valve for the added waterline and use the other end to connect to your filter (an adapter or nipple may be needed to add the filter).
The filter I plan to use for espresso is the "Everpure EV9272-41 QC7I Single Filter Head" ( amzn.to/2imrG4E ), with an Everpure EV9613-21 MH2 Cartridge ( amzn.to/2whU91g ). I picked up this idea from espressoparts.com. I also plan to separate the electrical from the water system by shifting the electrical to the left side and installing a piece of plywood in between to prevent any water from coming in contact with the electrical.
Hope this information helps!
NapoHBarista TV totally helps, thanks so much!
A video of this setup would also be epic!
What is the exact name of the power to switch box? And where did you get it at?
Hey there!
I replied to your DM on Instagram. Hope the information I provided was helpful.
How did you build those boxes? I'm building a cart right now and power distribution is my main concern.
Is it necessary to install the accumulator tank? I'm hoping to install a water pump to draw water from a barrel to an electric hand wash for warm water in a catering trailer.
I'd say so. Having an accumulator helps preserve the pump life. It also minimizes or completely gets rid of interruptions caused by air in the system. It makes for a better consistent stream of water. Hope this was helpful.
When you have time check this video out -> ua-cam.com/video/VnqLIKemV5M/v-deo.html. In this video you'll be able to see and hear the difference an accumulator makes. : )
Great Video. Question, If my linea mini is going through a FLO JET, to 5 gallon tank. Can i use the flo jet for pumping the pitcher rinser? The setup in the video is entirely for the pitcher rinser?
I read that it would be good to have a larger accumulator tank (2 gallon) for both pitcher rinser and espresso that would work fine with a flojet. With a bigger expansion tank wouldn't use the pump as often. Correct me if I'm wrong
Hey Napo, this might be asking too much but others could help just the same, do you have a parts list of the whole system you went through in this video?
Hello! Not at all man. I just added web links to some of the main parts used to build this cart in the description box. Let me know if there is something specific you're looking for and I'll try to help. Thanks!
the pomp should be in the other direction, no?
Correct. You should also separate the pump from the electrical and use GFCI outlets to prevent electric shocks should water come in contact with the outlet. This is an old video and I’ve learned so much since starting our business.
Feel free to DM me on Instagram if you have any questions.
OK !! 😁
Where is The water...... We wanna See water
How is this system working for you? Would you make any changes?
Also, does this system also provide water for your espresso machine?
Hey there,
Sorry for the late response. So far we’ve had no problems at all, no leaks, no power outages, no parts wearing out, etc. We made a few alterations under the cart, but the system is still the same. We added a comercial water filtration system to avoid buying filtered water bottles. We just posted an update video this passed weekend. I’ll be posting a video on some of the upgrades we’ve made soon.
Thanks for watching! : )
Do you use PEX or copper for your plumbing? Or a combination? I am concerned about chemicals leaching into espresso when using pex, but it's so much cheaper and easier to install, I want to use it as much as I can. Any advice?
Hey there!
We run a commercial water filtration system that is specifically rated for espresso and does a great job eliminating odors and contamination. So it’s difficult or impossible to taste the difference between clean PEX and copper. This video is quite old; we now use PTFE tubing all throughout.
Do you really need an accumulator or could you do it without one?
Yes, it’s a must. Visit Caffewerks.com for more information.
saving my spot.
6:22
Do you have it split to also go into the Linea Mini? Or are you just refilling the reservoir in the LM, and only using this for the rinser?
I split the line to plumb our LM, but capped it off cause we chose to continue using the reservoir. This configuration is just for the pitcher rinser.
NapoHBarista TV good to know! Any big benefits with just sticking with the reservoir vs. the shutflo pump?
heyy, nopah
Can i also use this sysstem in the coffee machine at the same time or do i need another pump?
plss can you help me
Hey there, sorry for the late response. You can run with a single pumps, but you'll need a larger accumulator to ensure constant pressure to your machine while the pitcher rinser is in use.
How did you add power to your cart :)? Generator? Or another source? I’d really appreciate that!
We were serving indoors so we just plugged into the nearest outlet. Our setup doesn't require more than 15 - 20 Amps.
Thank you for the video, I have a query, sing a flowjet water pump(working on-demand) in combination with a 8l water tank, the pump is keeping working and is not turning off at all, what would you recommend to do ?
Sounds like an accumulator should fix that problem. Check out the link below: caffewerks.com/products/2-gallon-accumulator-pressure-tank
Contact the guys from caffewerks.com for more information and instructions. I’m not a plumber by trade so it’s hard for me point out a problem. Wishing you all the best.
What is the dB level on that pump? are there quieter ones available? have you played around with any of them? Thanks for the video, it's really helped in planning my own project. :)
ok.. so I found this video... ua-cam.com/video/S5ansTftQNw/v-deo.html -- curious if this is all it takes to silence it?
Hey man! It’s not that loud, when your out serving coffee you’d hardly hear it. Especially in a room where conversations are going on.
This is the only pump I have experience with.
Good luck on your project! If you have more questions feel free to DM on Instagram @napohbarista.
Do you have to have the accumulator in order for this set up to work or can you bypass it?
It depends what you are using it for. If it's for direct plumb to a espresso machine and you have other things tapped to your water line, you definitely need one. A accumulator helps prevent water pressure drop, a water pressure drop can damage your machine. Check the user manual or call the manufacturer for in-line water pressure details.
"thats probably one of the sloppiest holes ive ever done"
Eeeeeyy
DawnFreeze 🤦♂️🤷♂️ LOL
Would any glass rinser work with the pump?
Yes sir! The pump just delivers the water to the unit.
Hello! Do you think you'll use the same Shurflo pump if you decide to plumb the machine in?
Hey Alec! I believe the pump will be strong enough. However, you may need a bigger accumulator tank. It all depends on how much water your espresso machine demands. We just recently purchased the plumb kit for the Linea Mini, so I guess we'll have a firm answer soon. : ) Thanks for watching!
NapoHBarista TV Did it work, one pump for both the machine and the rinser?!
Yes it works. But like I previously mentioned, you’ll need a bigger accumulator tank to maintain pressure. Don’t forget to adjust the brew pressure valve of the LM as well.
Great install. Didn't know shurflo made a 110 Volt pump. I have two 12 Volt pumps I got from my12voltstore.com.
Jim Davis thank you!
Where do i get the rinser sink?!!!
HI. I purchased mine on Amazon. Just type Pitcher Rinser on the Amazon search and you'll see a couple of options. : )
Hey guys, can anyone tell what the accumulator does in the setup? I don't get it :D
Hey there! The accumulator is basically a pressurized water tank. You can actually adjust the amount of pressure in it by pumping air into it. Having one of these is important because your espresso machine requires a constant flow of water at 45 PSI. Without an accumulator, you run the risk of water pressure dropping which puts strain on the pump of your espresso machine and cause permanent damage.
NapoHBarista TV hey man, thanks for that answer. But I thought you are using your machine without the plumbing kit?!
@@LucasBruckschlegel Correct I am using the reservoir that the idea mini comes with. However, I still use it to enhance and sustain water pressure for my pitcher rinser. It also keeps the pump from overworking when things get really busy. I intend on plumbing in my LM, I actually already own all the parts.
NapoHBarista TV ah ok, thanks for that! The only downside with the LM connect to the plumbing kit is, that you have your machine fix on the table and can’t use the case for transportation and stuff right? I mean, in this case you always would need to disconnect the machine from the plumbing kit to pack it in your case and move to another location right?!
6:09 ;)
your face is look like one pf my friend
