This
is one concept that was recently conceptualized to
maximize form and function
in many ways for the clients and operator. The
barrista having everything
within easy reach to the servers being able to distribute
and assemble
within one self contained platform makes this not only a
highly efficient
unit, it also get's peoples attention with the
styling. This is the
ultimate work station that can be portable as well as
stationary.
The extra condiment and drink service area in the front of
it also creates
additional sense of style yet it's very practical and
functional to be
incorporated with it. |
This
is a more angular design, dubbed the Stealth
Espresso Cart. It has
a stealth fighter type of look to it and an under
counter slide out 3 compartment
sink cart has already been built in the past based
upon this design system
as shown. |
|
|
The coffee cup espresso
cart is an
original concept that pushed the boundaries a bit along
form and function
with the prototype shown.
This
is not merely a display model piece, it's fully
self contained plumbing
compliment to include an under counter hand sink,
2.5 gallon water heater,
FloJet water pump, 5 gallon fresh water tank, 7
gallon waste water tank
all connected appropriately... This is a full
service self contained
catering and espresso cart that stands out on
it's own in a unique manner
in an unprecedented manner. |
|
|
This space age design is
another creation
that made it into the real world with some revisions
from the laminate
color choices to it's scale and dimensions.
|
Taking
a more conservative approach in design, the added touch
with the brass
foot railing and recessed paneling gives this a more
classical look.
Brass railings shown have been incorporated in the Espress
Outfitters lines
decades ago. |
A
clean and modern look in design that has a unique appeal
which stands out
on it's own. The curved system is inviting and
appealing along the
visual, it is designed for natural smooth flow along use
for the customer
and operator. |
Taking
a step back to the conservative, natural woods and earth
tones can make
for a very pleasant and warm setting for your espresso
cart. This
one shows a condiment shelf that can be incorporated in
it's real world
version which has been created prior. |
A
custom food service display cart and refrigerated
pass through system,
decked out in aluminum, stainless and/or chrome is
a nice added touch.
We have an 8 foot version of this with a high end
commercial refrigeration
incorporated upon it as well. The plumbing
configuration is under
counter in this design as is common with most of
the espresso and food
service carts created. A reminder here, if
there is a sink or series
that also means the full plumbing compliment as
well to include pump, water
heater, fresh and waste water tanks and all of the
plumbing lines and fittings,
fully integrated within. |

Kiosks
are the natural evolution of a retail and food service
concession.
This is a modular format shown, steel framed along with a
permanent base
rather then wheels, this design is meant to last
forever. The modular
6 foot units can be reconfigured easily and in this
pattern make for a
serious retail concession. |
An
example of a serious work station that can be used for a
wide variety of
retail and concession. This gives plenty of room to
move around with
the operator. This type of kiosk system has been created
in the past earlier
by Espresso Outfitters and it has it's appeal unto itself
to this day.
The beauty behind how a
modular construction
set up is, you are really only needing to reproduce one
or at most a couple
pieces to fit together and add onto them as it's
necessary and when you
can justify expansion.
|
This
mini kiosk design has a modern approach and can facilitate
a wide variety
of food service and retail concessions. Shown are a
few in position
for a fuller effect and to show what they would look like
in series for
people that want to set up their own farmers market style
retail setting. |
A unique, easy
break down small catering cart.
This out of the box
concept catering cart
was designed for the ultimate in
portability. The top section and
the lower can be seperated for easier
transport. Fold down side wings
and a self contained plumbing compliment to
include a FloJet water pump,
5 gallon fresh water tank, 7 gallon waste water
tank and also has a recessed
knock box. This is also the ultimate home
espresso cart that exists
on the market for those that are wanting a more
dedicate set up for making
coffee and espresso at home. |

A
conservative kiosk is shown in a cafe style setting.
The upper storage
section doubles as signage for the customers view. This
shows a bit more
along the background as well with the tables and chairs,
something Espresso
Outfitters can also supply and manufacture as well. |
You
have
likely seen the stock brushed style aluminum surfacing on
some of
our espresso and food service cart lines. We have
worked with copper
and brass as well and pioneered using it in this field in
the 90's originally.
The metal surfacing that is used can be polished to a
chrome like finish
to really make the cart or kiosk stand out. Showing
a rendering along
with some creative liberty for the flooring of it to give
people a better
idea as to how dramatic of an effect it can be.
Follow this section of the web site to see the latest upon
the build process and added features of this concept taken
to the next level. This is also a concept being
built for resale for clients that do not want to wait
through the normal construction time frame. espresso-outfitters.com/concepts1.shtml

A bit less of an
innovation of design
espresso cart wise for our standards to show case here
on that level, the
business plan from the client is an amazing concept and
it's shared here
with both because both are note worthy in combination.
The concept utilizes the 6 foot
base espresso
cart and 3 foot side cart with some added trim.
Their equipment choice
matched things nicely as well. Setting up shop,
getting all of the
details worked out, then reselling it a couple of months
later makes for
a lucrative combination for all parties. Many people
are overwhelmed
with the process of setting up shop, others have the
capacity to but little
time nor desire to manage a set up like this. The
latter comes out
ahead by making sure everything is ready to go and running
perfectly, easy
transition into running their own cart. The seller
marks it up to
compensate for their time and it's a quick investment and
return upon they
get to set up more in the future and do the same as they
desire.
This approach opens the
doors for those
that want to be part of it, get in and out relatively
quickly with a nice
return as well as those that want to set up shop easily
with all of the
details covered, operational so they have little to do
but hold onto the
reigns of things similar to a franchise without the
restrictions.
Espresso Outfitters extends the same support regardless
of which hands
are exchanged ownership wise for their wares and
building. What is also
good for the buyer, they are buying something that's
new, fresh, and they
get to make it their own. That initial impact with
it's set up is
wonderful, putting your own personal touches to it and
making it flourish
gives them a great sense of accompolishment.

The above concept
cart and 3 compartment sink
cart and storage cart with the counter display
refrigerator is a great
mobile kiosk. The neon sign built in is a serious
presence and not
simply some decoration. This is a combination of a few
lines with some
creative add on's that form a versatile and over the top
along form and
function. The plumbing for the main unit along with the
three compartment
sink cart are fully self contained. Added feature
such as the slide
out sink is convenient as well.
This design
has been fully detailed and
is going into production soon.
