Connections to coffee truck owners

[jeremy8810]

I am trying to find connections to any coffee truck owners. I'd love to pick your brain on here, through telephone, or visit you in person. I know there are a lot of different types of coffee trucks, so I'll put the link of the two that are the closest to what I am thinking about.

I already own a roasting business, but it's been hard trying to get people to sign on to be wholesale customers when there is no brand recognition yet, so I think this may be a route to take to help establish my business further. Let me know if you know someone that owns a business like these two, or you yourself owns a business like this. Thanks awesome people!

I love the idea... my dream, when in the distant future is to have a mobile coffee shop... and love your idea of using it to get the word spread about your roast... which is sort of my thoughts as well.

Of course.. I am not really into fancy espresso drinks.. my truck would just serve some excellent brewed coffee to let the average joe what a coffee is suppose to taste like... I also believe that's what one would want, if the plan is to sell to restaurants and such,, since not too many use espresso machines ( at least the ones I frequent ) but what do I know... I have been told that I am not cool

Hope you (we) get some responses to your inquiry

Rival Bros have a beautiful build out and dropped some money on that rig.
Personally I would have went with a GB5 and doserless grinders.

I have 2 posts about truck stuff that you might find informative YMMV

Good luck

Yeah, doserless is the way to go!

Believe me Shave, I've already read through a majority of your posts...haha.

I'd like to send you a couple quick questions through PM if that is ok with you.

To each his own, but personally I would go with anything but La Marzocco. Over-priced, over-hyped and certainly no better than other high end brands.

Doser grinders work well if you use them wisely.

So Jeremy8810 what kind of questions do you have?
I've been out with a coffee truck for the past 4 months and continue to learn each week. Right now learning a lot about the way cold weather effects equipment and employees.
