Espresso on the Move: Brewing Opportunity, Value, and Dignity Through a Coffee Cart
In a world where coffee often travels thousands of kilometers before it is enjoyed, Espresso on the Move is redefining the journey—bringing Specialty Coffee closer to the people, Communities, closer to the farmers, and closer to opportunity. Through our mobile coffee cart model by Barista Mtaani, we are not only serving exceptional espresso-based beverages but also creating meaningful jobs for the youth, growing local coffee consumption, and improving farmer incomes by roasting coffee locally.
Coffee That Moves with Purpose
Espresso on the Move was founded on a simple but powerful idea: coffee should create value where it is grown and consumed. Our mobile coffee cart allows us to meet people where they are—at conferences, festivals, campuses, corporate events, and community spaces—while delivering café-quality coffee without the overhead of a fixed shop.
This mobility translates directly into youth employment. Each cart is a training ground where young people learn barista skills, customer service, coffee knowledge, mixology basics, and entrepreneurship. These are transferable, income-generating skills that open doors across the hospitality and creative industries.
Growing Local Consumption, Strengthening the Coffee Economy
Kenya produces some of the world’s finest coffee, yet much of it is exported, leaving local consumption underdeveloped. Espresso on the Move actively changes this narrative by:
- Encouraging Kenyans to drink Kenyan coffee
- Educating consumers on quality, origin, and flavor
- Demonstrating that locally roasted coffee can compete globally
By roasting coffee locally, we shorten the value chain. This keeps more value within the country, supports local roasters, and contributes to better and more stable prices for coffee farmers. When farmers see demand grow at home—not just abroad—the entire ecosystem becomes more resilient.
UNEA7: Serving Coffee to the World
Our vision came alive on a global stage at UNEA7, where Espresso on the Move proudly rolled in our coffee cart and served over 4,000 people in one week. Delegates, policymakers, environmental leaders, and visitors from around the world experienced Kenyan coffee—freshly brewed, expertly prepared, and served with passion.
At UNEA7, our cart was more than a coffee station. It was:
- A symbol of green jobs and youth empowerment
- A showcase of local value addition
- Proof that sustainability can be practical, delicious, and profitable
Many tasted Kenyan coffee in Kenya for the first time—and the response was clear: our coffee and expertise are truly magical.
More Than Coffee: A Complete Beverage Experience
Espresso on the Move is designed for versatility and excitement. Beyond exceptional espresso and brewed coffee, we bring:
