The Mobile Kaffeebar that turns two square meters into a crowd magnet
A complete La Marzocco espresso bar that fits 2 x 1 meters, runs on a single 230V socket and needs no water connection. Built for trade fair stands, showrooms and launch events.
Specs first. Poetry later.
You have a floor plan, a power form and a deadline. Here is exactly what the bar asks of you.
That is the entire requirements list. The Mobile Kaffeebar arrives self-contained: fresh water on board, waste water leaves with us, no drain, no hose running across your stand. Whether you are on a corner position at Messe Düsseldorf, in a hall at Koelnmesse or in a hotel ballroom, the answer to "does it fit" is almost always yes.
Setup the day before the fair is possible, and full setup and breakdown are always included. You never push, plug or polish anything yourself.
The bar in numbers — machine, grinder, power & water
- Total footprint: approx. 2 × 1 m (2 m²). Fits a client-provided counter from about 1.2 m wide; a 1200 × 680 mm counter fits comfortably.
- Espresso machine: professional 2-group La Marzocco — approx. 78 × 55 cm on the counter, about 45 cm high, 60–70 kg. We handle all transport and lifting.
- Grinder(s): one or two on-demand espresso grinders, each approx. 20 × 40 cm and about 55 cm high.
- Power (compact / single-group): one standard 230 V Schuko socket (CEE 7/4), approx. 2.3 kW.
- Power (larger / two-group): one dedicated 16 A Schuko circuit at 230 V, approx. 3.0–3.5 kW. Both setups are available on our side — we match our equipment to your stand's power.
- Water: none needed. Fresh water and waste water are on board — no plumbed connection, no drain, no hose across your stand.
- Throughput: 100–150 quality drinks per hour, per station; a second station for peak traffic.
Built up while you are still at hotel breakfast
Our crew slots into the build-up schedule, not the other way around. We coordinate delivery with hall logistics, roll the bar to your stand and have the machine dialled in before the doors open.
- Day-before setup at most German fairs
- Protective mats under bar and machine, your flooring stays flawless
- We remove our own waste, grounds and packaging included
- Teardown after the final day, handled entirely by us
Five surfaces that carry your brand
The bar pours your coffee. It should pour your logo too.
Visitors photograph a beautiful espresso bar, then they carry your cup through the halls for the next twenty minutes. Every surface is a branding opportunity, and we prepare them all before the fair starts.
- Counter front: a full-width panel for your key visual
- Cups: printed with your logo or campaign artwork
- Sleeves: a second message in every hand
- Aprons: your colours on the crew
- Foam: your logo on the cappuccino itself
From corner bar to full-width centrepiece
Same machine, same baristas, two ways to place it on your floor plan.
Compact corner bar
The complete setup in its smallest form: one barista, one machine, 2 x 1 meters in a corner of your stand. Ideal when every square meter of meeting space matters and you still want a queue out front.
Full-width bar
The bar becomes the architecture of your stand. A longer branded counter, two baristas, doubled throughput, plus room for add-ons like champagne, aperitivo or homemade lemonade for the evening reception.
Mobiles Kaffee Catering
The bar plus beans, baristas and a full service concept for any venue, from office events to product launches.

How much space does the Mobile Kaffeebar need?
The bar itself fits approximately 2 x 1 meters. On the counter, the 2-group La Marzocco espresso machine takes about 78 x 55 cm and each grinder about 20 x 40 cm. Plan about one more meter of working room behind it for the barista and you have the full footprint. It fits a client-provided counter from about 1.2 m wide, and works on compact stands and corner positions without crowding your meeting area.
What power supply do we need to order?
One standard 230V Schuko socket for the compact setup (about 2.3 kW). For a larger two-group setup we use one dedicated 16 A Schuko circuit at 230V (about 3.0 to 3.5 kW). No three-phase current and no special power package from the venue. Both configurations are available on our side, so we match our equipment to the power your stand provides.
Do you need a water connection or a drain?
No. The bar is fully self-contained: we bring fresh water with us and take waste water away, with no plumbed water connection and no drain needed. It can stand anywhere on your floor plan, not just near a supply line.
Will the bar damage our stand flooring?
No. We place protective mats under the bar and the machine, and we leave rented carpet, raised floors and parquet exactly as we found them. Stand builders thank us regularly.
What happens with waste during the fair?
We manage it ourselves. Coffee grounds, milk packaging and our materials leave with us, we keep the bar area clean through the day and we follow each hall's waste separation rules.
Are you insured for trade fair operation?
Yes. Our equipment and crew are covered for trade fair and event work. We are happy to provide details and documentation for your venue or stand builder on request.
How does teardown work after the last day?
Breakdown is always included. We typically clear the stand on the final evening, coordinated with your stand builder and the hall's logistics schedule. You say goodbye to your last visitor, we handle the rest.
