What branding options are available? How do we request branded coffee cart products?
We can organise branding to go on the front of the coffee cart as well as stamps on all cups. You will need to supply artwork to us at least 10 business days prior to your event so we can prepare your branding materials.
How big is the coffee cart?
We choose from a selection of different coffee carts depending on the occasion and requirements of your event.
Once set-up a typical cart is 180×70 cm, including the space required for the barista to stand and operate the cart.
What locations do you service?
Our mobile coffee stands cater to all suburbs of Melbourne, including Footscray, Craigieburn, Dandenong etc..
What’s your minimum charge out?
Our Melbourne coffee cart hire package starts with a minimum of 2-hour of service, which equates to approximately 100 cups of coffee.
How many coffees can you make?
We understand the importance of getting coffee to your guests quickly without having them wait around the coffee cart. As a general rule of thumb, our barista can serve up to 100 cups of coffee in a two-hour service, or 200 cups of coffee in a three-hour service. This is just an estimate, and we will work with you to ensure that all guests are catered to throughout the event.
What milk options are available?
We understand that you and your guests may have different preferences, so we have included a range of alternative milk. We supply full cream, light, soy, almond, and lactose-free milk. We use the ever-popular Bonsoy brand for all our non-dairy Milk selections. If you have specific dietary requirements, please let us know prior to the event so we can cater to your needs.
What non-coffee options are available?
While most guests will opt for coffee, we have plenty of options for those who prefer other hot beverages. We offer Decaf coffee which contains little or no caffeine, we also serve hot chocolate, Chai latte, and of course black tea. If you need anything specific, please let us know so we can organise it prior to your event.
What types of coffee blends do you serve?
At Astur Coffee, we serve specialty-grade coffees sourced from the best coffee-growing regions of the world – including Kenya, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Colombia, and India. As a boutique coffee beans provider, we roast them in small batches in Melbourne, creating our specialty blends unique to Astur Coffee.
