Our coffee van and what it can do for you
Mobile coffee is a brilliant business model
You probably already know you can make up to 92% gross profit on the sale of a single cup of cappuccino? (maybe we’re in the wrong business at 4Sure).
“Coffee is the most popular drink worldwide with around two billion cups consumed every day” states The British Coffee Association.
Did you know the UK take away coffee market was estimated to be worth £10.1 billion in 2018 and it’s growing every year (maybe not so much in 2020, sadly)? It is estimated there will be over 32,000 coffee outlets by 2023.
As a nation, we’re hooked.
And now coffee is going even more mobile. With a great marketplace, low overheads, no business rates or electricity bills, it all leads to a rather savvy business model and a pretty good return on investment. Why wouldn’t you want to get involved in bringing people’s love of the bean to the streets? Add in the additional temptation of a sausage roll or a muffin and you could be laughing all the way to the bank.


What should you look for in a coffee van? Or what do your customers want?
Here’s the principle for mobile coffee. High streets and shopping centres are fast becoming less visited areas with people opting to shop online, but they still want their fix. So how do you make that work? It’s obvious you need to take the coffee to the people, hit the road, park up and pour, it is literally that simple.
What we’ve heard about what your customers want
Here’s what we’ve learned from our customers who we’ve built coffee vans for. This is what gets their customers to come and then keep coming back:
- They want great coffee
- They want it at certain times
- Branding is vital
- The coffee machine and serving area have to be attractive, clean and tidy
- What’s on display gets sold (so products not on display stay in stock)

How our coffees van will help you sell more coffee
So here’s how our coffee vans help keep you and your customers happy:
- The design for the layout inside your van keeps three principles in mind
- It’s attractive to the customer
- It’s easy for you to make coffee and keep the whole serving area clean and tidy
- You need great display areas
- All the services for the machine are safely installed and either out of site or they’re neat and tidy
- We know which machines can be installed and look great and are reliable
- We can take your branding ideas and help you find the best ways to make them work on the vehicle of your choice
- Or we can work with you to use our experience and help you design your brand and sign writing
Our vans are designed to work for all types of trading, whether on a permanent pitch with a mains supply or self-sufficient with an on-board generator, rather than having to keep moving to maximise on trade. And they can easily be adapted to suit an event environment.


“It was just such a personal service and the unit itself, there is not one thing that I could say that I prefer more, I just love the whole thing. The whole conversion is just amazing!”
Charlene Deacon owner of The Steaming Mug
