Flotte Bohne

Flotte Bohne (marketed as "Flotte Bohne on Tour") is a small German mobile coffee-catering brand built around a Piaggio Ape converted into a fully equipped espresso bar. According to its official website, the brand brings "Italian coffee culture, pure joie de vivre and a very special atmosphere" to private celebrations and corporate customer events, brewing coffee specialties traditionally on a portafilter (Siebträger) espresso machine. Beyond coffee, the Ape setup can also serve sparkling wine and wine. The mobile bar is designed as a self-contained catering unit. Its published equipment list includes a 70-litre fresh-water tank with a filtration system, a 40-litre waste-water tank, service from porcelain cups and to-go cups, a dishwasher, a refrigerator, an ice and cooling drawer, and lighting. It runs on two 230 V connections at 16 or 32 A, and measures roughly 4 × 4 m when set up (1.46 × 1.96 × 3 m when closed). Flotte Bohne positions itself not only as a coffee vendor but as an event partner, offering competence and creativity from idea and concept through to execution, and it states that it cooperates with "La faim" on event realization. The brand also runs Flotte Bohne barista courses, teaching customers how to pull a good espresso crema at home and covering the world of coffee beans and essential barista techniques. The business is reachable through Mehmet Saripinar, who is named as the contact on the official website, and testimonials on the site reference events in Telgte and customer events, indicating a regional base in Germany. The brand is a private, owner-operated commercial venture rather than a listed company, and no founding year, parent company or ownership structure is disclosed in the available evidence.

Flotte Bohne is a German mobile coffee-catering brand that operates under the name "Flotte Bohne on Tour." Its official website presents the business as a mobile espresso bar built on a Piaggio Ape, a small three-wheeled Italian utility vehicle that has become a popular base for boutique coffee carts. The brand's stated concept is to bring Italian coffee culture, joie de vivre and a distinctive atmosphere to celebrations and customer events, brewing coffee specialties traditionally on a portafilter espresso machine. The service is designed as a complete mobile bar rather than a simple coffee stand. The published Ape equipment list includes a 70-litre fresh-water tank with a filtration system, a 40-litre waste-water tank, service in porcelain cups and to-go cups, a dishwasher, a refrigerator, an ice and cooling drawer, and lighting. Power is supplied via two 230 V connections at 16 or 32 A, and the set-up footprint is approximately 4 × 4 m, with the closed vehicle measuring 1.46 × 1.96 × 3 m (width × height × length). In addition to coffee, the bar can serve sparkling wine and wine, broadening its use for receptions and corporate hospitality. Beyond mobile bar service, Flotte Bohne positions itself as an event partner, offering support from idea and concept through to execution, and it states that it works in cooperation with "La faim" on event realization. The brand has also extended into education with Flotte Bohne barista courses, which teach participants the essentials of the coffee-bean world and the key barista techniques needed to produce a good espresso crema at home. The official website names Mehmet Saripinar as the telephone and email contact, and customer testimonials on the site reference a birthday celebration and a customer event, with one testimonial attributed to a customer in Telgte. This suggests a regional operating base in Germany, though the available evidence does not disclose a founding year, corporate structure, parent company or ownership details. The brand appears to be a private, owner-operated venture. No major corporate milestones, funding events, expansions or controversies are documented in the supplied evidence.
