<p><span>Coffee cart business has its advantages. The main one is that you can buy a cart for just 5000 euros. Comparing to opening a cafe, it would cost at least 60 000. If you're a barista, you're probably already skilled in making coffee, so it would be a bit easier for you to start.

Pourover is a good option but if you're in a busy situation you'll find keeping it filled will be troublesome. You're better bet is to just use a 5 gallon water jug & on demand pump. FloJet & ShurFlow make them. They're easy to use & do a great job. You also can get a 5 gallon jug water pump kit (I think FloJet makes it) Thats made specifiacally for using a 5 gallon jug. It has a cap & all. Small pump so it fits anywhere. THis is what Im going to use on my next setup. I do…

Problem with a pourover machine is the resevois isnt always the biggest. Depends on the events you're doing you probably dont want to be stopping & pouring water in the spout in the middle of service. Most smaller espresso carts have a flojet or shurflow on demand diaphram pump that pump water out of a 5 gallon jug under the cart. Astra's line of Gourmet machines work great for catering.

Depends on the events you're doing you probably dont want to be stopping & pouring water in the spout in the middle of service. Most smaller espresso carts have a flojet or shurflow on demand diaphram pump that pump water out of a 5 gallon jug under the cart. Astra's line of Gourmet machines work great for catering. I've been using them for years in my catering business. 110V under 20amps light enough 1 person (with some muscle) can carry it if need be. Small enough of a foot print for a small cart that will easily fit through any door. Easy to work on (Im pretty hard on machines since they are stored in my trailers without climate control & have in the past fallen off the cart when a hard pothole was hit or a tie down broke or came loose) & I've found myself working on a machine 30 minutes before a wedding starts. I've also got an Astoria I use (I had to buy it on the fly one day when I couldnt get my old old nuovo simonelli working & I had a big wedding that weekend) & it works well but I've had some problems with it on the road & it takes an hour just to keep the case off! Im getting to where I love the Astras now (I've got 3).<br />

Good for you! I just setup a cart. I'd say find a biz that wants a coffee cart, with good traffic, or somewhere near where you work, but traffic is a huge factor. I have a la pavoni pub 2 that's great. That aside: don't worry too much about the equipment, that's fun, but figure out all the business aspects like accounting, marketing and finances (sorry if that's a downer) but definitely relevant. If you're in a big city I'm sure there's someone looking to unload a business or it is pretty easy…
