"A Change In Career" My Coffee Journey Takes A Different Turn, A Coffee Van,

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

We Decided To Take The Plunge & Buy A Coffee Van, See How We Got On.
Mason wanted to take a different career move, and we had looked into buying a mobile barista van a few months ago.
After looking we have Made a Purchase, But the hard work is about to start as there are many jobs to do on the van before it is set out on the road.
So follow our coffee journey and see how we get on.

    New subscriber and fan here :) Found this video as I am planning on this venture with my Sherpa van next year. I lived in it for a couple of years and so it already has 520Am of batteries and 500w of solar which is sufficient. I was scared at the start of the video that you were looking to get something that could be trailered and I never understood that.. glad to see you got something you can DRIVE! Thats the beauty of these vehicles and the same with all classic cars. Why rebuild something to an amazing standard only to trailer it to shows and events and never actually drive the thing!?!

Mason Loves the 80s (all the grand theft auto) when he was a kid, & I was a 80s kid, so this just perfect, and we are going to stroke that theme. there's loads to do so enjoy my pain lol, 👍🏻👍🏻🛠

    @aaanton11 Hi Ant, I’ve been following your channel for a few months after stumbling upon this first video of you collecting your J9 as I had been looking into french vans myself for a coffee business. When I started watching the video I soon realised that I’d been a customer of Mason’s prior (I live locally in the area) I’ve recently purchased my coffee steed, a 1971 J7 high top which is already kitted out for coffee (it needs some attention to the body work in a few areas) I want to say straight away that I’m not looking to directly compete and obviously will respect your ‘patch’ I just wanted to message you as a coffee enthusiast, Classic ‘J van’ owner and a fellow Lesta’ lad. With so much in common it would be great to stay in touch with you both and share my journey and experiences like you have. I won’t be ready to open my hatch until later this year / early next year as there is much to do. Exciting times though! If you’re ever up for a face to face let me know. Keep up the amazing work with your van / business and also with your videos, you will always have my support 🙂☕️
