The Next Generation Of Mobile Coffee
There are several new ways for you to get your coffee fix, and the creativity just keeps flowing. Mobile coffee appears to be establishing itself in both exciting and unexpected forms. Depending on the type, the benefits of this approach to the sale of coffee include being environmentally friendly, access to places previously unattainable, elimination of the need to enter a brick and mortar establishment, good exercise for the worker, and reinvigoration of areas in need of a boost.
Two of the up and coming forms of mobile coffee include bike carts, and backpacks. Between the two of these, you could soon be able to purchase coffee nearly anywhere imaginable. This includes while picnicing in a park, while mid-ski on the slopes, and the possibilities go on and on.
The coffee bike carts often involve a set up that is completely self sufficient so that no electrical outlet is required. Thus, the driver/barista can move freely to where the action is at any given moment. Thereby, you could hail the bike and order a latte mid-stride as you walk along your merry way.
In some places, the introduction of the coffee bike has led to the entry of other mobile suppliers. These have involved pastry bikes, fruit and vegetable bikes and newsstand bikes. Certain government officials have even relaxed the application process for obtaining a license for selling products on the streets to promote this wave of entrepreneurial activity.
There is also the less commonly seen coffee backpack that can be taken easily into any area that people congregate. A couple of the more interesting locales the packs have been spotted are sightseeing points, beaches and along the line of people waiting for concert tickets to go on sale. At this point, it appears that only basic coffee and supplements can be carried in this manner. Surely, it is only a matter of time until that too changes.
The advent of mobile coffee service should prove to be fruitful for both customer and seller. Creativity is still alive and well, as is the entrepreneurial spirit. One can only speculate as to what the future will offer in the way of coffee and convenience.
