Barista coffee cart for events: what it is
The barista coffee cart for events is a mobile specialty coffee bar that we bring to your venue, with its own barista, machine and everything needed to serve from the very first minute. It stops being "the event coffee" and becomes a meeting point where people stop, talk and come back.
- La Marzocco machine, the professional benchmark in specialty coffee, with a professional grinder.
- Single-origin coffee, freshly ground for every drink.
- Barista and assistant dedicated to your event for the whole service.
- Full menu of hot and cold drinks, plant-based milks included.
- All included: bar, set-up, transport, supplies and dismantling.
You take care of the programme; we take care of the coffee.
Drinks menu: hot and cold specialty coffee
The menu is included in the service and runs from the shortest espresso to summer cold drinks. Each guest orders what they like and the barista makes it in front of them.
Coffee bar: espresso, cortado, latte, cappuccino, flat white, americano, mocha, matcha latte, hot chocolate and a refreshing juice (orange or lemonade).
Iced Lata: classic iced latte, classic matcha latte, iced americano, espresso tonic, matcha tonic and orange espresso.
Plant-based milks at no extra charge: oat, soy, almond and coconut. Toppings: vanilla, chocolate, dulce de leche, condensed milk, Biscoff and pistachio.

Iced Lata: cold coffee sealed in a can in front of the guest
This is the format that sets us apart. The barista makes the cold drink and seals it in a can on the spot, with a sealing machine, in front of the guest. Everyone walks away with their canned cold coffee in hand, with no cups tipping over and no dripping lids.
It works especially well at standing, on-the-move events: trade shows and stands, networking, product launches or festivals. And the can can carry a label with your brand, so the coffee leaves the event with your logo on it.

Coffee bar and cups branded with your logo
The bar does not have to carry our look: it can be your brand. We customise the whole experience so the coffee becomes part of your event rather than just another service.
- Bar front dressed in vinyl with your logo and colours.
- Custom coffee cups with your logo, in white, kraft or with a coloured sleeve.
- Branded menu and an exclusive drink created for your event.
- Custom label on the Iced Lata cans.
- Menu tasting before the event and a single coordination contact.
The cup photos are customisation examples. Production time for cups and vinyl is confirmed in the quote.

How to book: per drink or per number of guests
There are two ways to book the barista coffee for your event, and we recommend whichever suits your format best:
- Per guest, fixed in advance. Based on attendance: a 3-hour open service in which each guest orders what they like, up to two drinks per person booked. You know the exact cost before the event.
- Per drink. You pay for each coffee served, ideal when you don't know how many people will come to the bar.
With a rough estimate of the number of coffees we will suggest the most cost-effective option. Extra service hours or a larger team for big events can be added. The quote and invoice are issued to your company.
Which events: conferences, trade shows, launches and more
Coffee is part of almost every event, which is why the corporate event coffee bar fits very different formats:
- Conferences and seminars: the coffee break becomes the best moment of the day.
- Trade shows and stands: a well-made coffee brings visitors to the stand and keeps the conversation going.
- Product launches and brand activations, with the bar dressed in your branding.
- Team building, welcome sessions and company meetings.
- Networking events, weddings, sports and wellness events.
Coffee Rave: the coffee cart with a DJ
The coffee cart is not just for conferences and companies: it also works as a Coffee Rave, an alcohol-free morning party with specialty coffee and a DJ playing next to the bar. We bring the barista, the DJ with a controller and two 15-inch speakers. See Coffee Rave for events.
Set-up and what we need from the venue
The bar is fully self-contained: we bring the water system, the coffee machine, the grinder and all supplies. It can be set up indoors or outdoors, and our team handles transport, set-up, service and dismantling.
- Power: one 3,700 W, 230 V, 16 A supply.
- Space: the bar is about 2 m wide; leave room in front for the queue.
- Water: no water connection needed, the bar has its own system.
How we work: you tell us the date, venue, schedule and number of guests; we send you a clear proposal; we book the date and finalise the menu; and on the day we arrive, set up, serve and dismantle.
