Coffee Rave for events: what it is
A Coffee Rave is an alcohol-free morning party where the fuel is specialty coffee. A barista serves cappuccinos, flat whites and iced lattes while a DJ plays house, disco and funk next to the bar. People come for the coffee and stay for the music.
- Barista coffee bar with a La Marzocco machine, single-origin coffee and Iced Lata cold drinks.
- DJ with a controller and two 15-inch speakers on stands.
- Alcohol-free and in daylight: energy to start the day, not to end it.
- Your brand on the bar, the cups and the menu.
The format filling cafés in London, Amsterdam and Barcelona, at your event.
Coffee Rave for brand activations, product launches and trade fairs
A brand serving specialty coffee with a DJ playing alongside never goes unnoticed. The Coffee Rave for brand activations combines two draws that work at any time of day: great coffee and music that makes people want to stay.
- Product launches: the bar and the DJ booth create a meeting point to present what is new in a relaxed setting.
- Trade fair stands: the smell of coffee and the music pull visitors in from the aisle, especially first thing.
- Street activations: it works indoors and outdoors, and the bar carries its own water system.
- Cups with your branding: personalised cups turn every coffee into a brand touchpoint that travels.
The house, disco and funk set is agreed with you before the event, along with the key moments, so the music supports the brand message. As an alcohol-free concept, it suits any audience and any time slot. For set-up we need around 2 m for the bar, about 2 x 1 m for the DJ and a power point for the coffee machine. We bring the coffee party with a DJ to trade fairs and launches in Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia and across Spain.
Why a Coffee Rave works at corporate events
At a conference or a company day, the first hour sets the tone. A corporate Coffee Rave turns registration or the break into a moment people photograph and talk about:
- Everyone is included: alcohol-free, suitable for any time of day and any team.
- It breaks the ice without forced activities: music and coffee do the work.
- It creates content for social media and internal comms, with your brand on every cup.
- It fits wellbeing: the perfect plan for a wellness event or a kick-off.

What the Coffee Rave includes
- Specialty coffee bar about 2 m wide, self-contained, with a barista and an assistant. Full menu: espresso, cappuccino, flat white, matcha, hot chocolate, Iced Lata and plant-based milks. More details on the barista coffee cart.
- DJ with a professional Numark Mixstream Pro Go controller.
- Sound: two 15-inch, 1,600 W active speakers on adjustable stands.
- Transport, set-up and dismantling of all the equipment.
Lighting can be added, as well as silent disco if the venue does not allow volume, or a longer set.
What size of room? Each speaker delivers about 126 dB peak at 1 m. Together, the sound carries strongly to about 12-15 m: indoors they cover a dance party in rooms of up to about 250-300 m² (around 150-200 people) and background music, as at a Coffee Rave, in spaces of up to about 400 m² (around 300 people). Outdoors the sound fades sooner: around 100-150 people. For larger spaces we add speakers or a subwoofer.
Music and atmosphere: what the set is like
The set starts gently, with deep house, nu disco and funk, while guests arrive and order their coffee. As the bar fills up, the DJ lifts the tempo. It is not a nightclub at nine in the morning: it is good vibes with a coffee in hand.
Before the event we agree the style, the length and the key moments with you, such as the welcome, a short speech or the start of the keynote. If your brand has its own playlist or song, we work it in.
Which events it suits
- Conferences and seminars, at registration or the first break.
- Kick-offs, conventions and annual company meetings.
- Wellbeing events and team building mornings.
- Product launches and brand activations at trade shows or on the street.
- Openings of offices, shops and hotels.
- Festivals, as a morning plan before the concerts.
Set-up and what we need from the venue
- Space: about 2 m of width for the coffee bar and about 2 x 1 m for the DJ, with room in front for people.
- Power: one 3,700 W, 230 V, 16 A supply for the coffee machine and a standard socket for the DJ.
- Water: not needed, the bar has its own system.
- Set-up: around 1 hour before the start; dismantling takes about 45 minutes.
It works indoors and outdoors. For a quote we need the date, times, venue and approximate number of guests.
