I've started a coffee cart company called SYB Coffee. Syb is my Blue Heeler (Australian Cattle Dog). I'm doing this as a weekend side business. Catering/private events only. I have a Rancilio Silvia Pro and a Baratza Forte. It will be only me, no employees, 8oz drinks only. I have a small Lifetime table. Hopefully i can upgrade to a Simple Cart next year. Trying to start this business with no debt.

@valor.coffee 9 месяцев назад

That's dope! You're going to crush it, and yeah, respect for going the no-debt route!

@Joker-jz9cn 4 месяца назад

How has the Rancilio Silvia pro and Baratza Forte working out so far for you? I don't want to invest more than 2k in machines to start off.

Thanks so much for this video. My business partner and I were originally going to do a cart but decided to do a transit instead. Found out that was the right decision because carts without 3 comp sink built into the cart are being banned. Will probably still do a cart for private events.

Love listening to you guys! In the last few weeks/months my wife and I started our own coffee cart. Been a dream for a while but have taken a lot of inspiration from you guys as well. In the beginning of this episode when Ross mentioned that feeling of working for yourselves, we totally get that!!! It’s hard work, but also extremely rewarding at the same time. Thanks all! Keep up the great work.

Thanks for the radio gold y'all. For those that need a commissary for health code purposes... definitely reach out to any restaurants that you might have connections with. Full service restaurants can act as commissaries in some cities! We've partnered with a local casual-fine-dining restaurant and it's been wonderful. We're able to pop-up at their restaurant and fall under the health permitting and they also act as our commissaries when we do events. Ends up being a win-win relationship for extremely low cost.

I have for my home espresso set-up a Ceado E37s grinder and it is solid, heavy-duty, and fast (20 grams in 4 seconds) with a consistent grind. Would definitely get another for my future coffee cart.

Thanks guys… greetings from Mexico. I’m not interested in having an espresso machine on a coffee cart but nitro cold brew is my current passion, using an insulated box to hold the kegs

I have 2 Nuova Simonelli Oscar II's in my Coffee trailer. One is a pour over "Back Up" and the other is plumbed in. Works fine for me.

@thodgson13 8 месяцев назад

There's so much good advice in this, thanks for making it! There are a few other espresso machines I think are worth consideration; The La Spaziale Vivaldi II / Lucca A53, which to my knowledge are the most affordable commercial dual boilers out there, and have been a mainstay in espresso catering since before the Linea Mini existed. The Simonelli Oscar ii is pretty much the cheapest NSF rated machine I know of, but if you're trying to get started on a budget is still an alright option. There's also the Simonelli Appia Compact and La Spaziale S2 and S9, which are all available 2 group 110v machines. The only other real tip I have to share is for expected busy events I'll bring an airpot of hot water to use for Americanos. I don't do drip so this is a lifesaver for me on keeping water in the steam boiler.

I have a 2 group with the generator setup. It may end up tightening us up in the end but we had the espresso machine from a previous venture

@roberteisenbach624 6 месяцев назад

A single boiler HX machine (heat exchange) can do espresso and milk at the same time but not as good as dual boiler machines. ACS minima is an inexpensive option (also available with a rotary pump and plump in) Also Simonelli has a 2 group 110v machine

Hey guys, UNG Entreprenuership Student here, I have been working in the coffee scene for 5 years and I just spent the past three months helping open a new shop in Dahlonega. I learned a lot and it only further solidified my dreams of one day opening a shop of my own, so I made an LLC and am hoping to cater different weddings/events in Dahlonega. This podcast is pure gold and the fact it is free is so wonderful and I can't thank you guys enough. Any specific advice for someone looking to get there beginnings in North Georgia?

@valor.coffee 9 месяцев назад

If you’re in Dahlonega, start cold calling wedding venues all over the north, get a media presence, do some pop-ups, then measure what is and isn’t working.

@justinfiallo6826 9 месяцев назад

@BritneyLeigh24720 7 месяцев назад

Alright, this may be a super dumb and borderline/definitely sacrilegious question but when you talk about starting a coffee cart sans espresso machine and focusing on cold brew I have to ask, why not make a “cold brew” hot latte or cappuccino with steamed milk or like a cafe au lait or americano-ish drink with cold brew to add a hot beverage option? I know heat changes things but is it possible to make a tasty hot beverage with cold brew concentrate? Cause I’ve tried it and I gotta say I didn’t hate it… thoughts? Please don’t hate me. :)

@valor.coffee 7 месяцев назад

You could totally do that! Innovate and you might find something amazing. You'd have to figure out a scalable way of steaming milk, which is usually an espresso machine.

@user-cp6tm8dd1x 6 месяцев назад

Do you sell the coffee carts? Sorry wasn’t able to watch 2 hours 😢

@karlareyes4688 7 месяцев назад

$2k a week for me would be 😃 I make $300 in my regular job. Do you guys have any recommendations on a starter machine? I'm pretty sure you mentioned it but I don't know about brands. Thank you and thank you for this video. It was great information and it got me encouraged and motivated to looking into havingy own business. 😊

@valor.coffee 7 месяцев назад

Our recommendation is the La Marzocco GS3. You'll pay a premium up front, but they're tanks and parts are readily available when it breaks. Most espresso techs are well versed in LM machines as well.

@karlareyes4688 7 месяцев назад

@@valor.coffee thanks so much 😊🙏🏼 and thank you for all the info you shared on your podcast. It's great 😊 I wish continue success to you and your team this coming year. Happy holidays

For anyone discouraged with the cost. You can 100% set up a cart for 2k or under.
