Coffee cart espresso machines need to be able to operate under serious constraints: 12-24 inches of counter space, limited electrical supply (110v), potential weather exposure, and single-barista workflows during intense peak periods. The same machine must often be suitable for both slower farmers markets and high-paced weddings and festivals.
Carefully consider what your peak volume expectations are and make sure you buy enough machine to keep your serving customers in those high-volume moments. Most cart machines feature direct-connect capability, allowing operators to run water lines to 5-gallon jugs via flow-jet pumps for sustained high-volume operation.
