Redefining the mobile coffee experience
Buying coffee is easy. Why shouldn’t selling it be too? Vienna is a mobile coffee bike that redefines the street vending experience. With built-in storage and a fold-out counter, running your business is as easy as riding and selling.
Buying coffee is easy. Why shouldn’t selling it be too?
Current mobile coffee carts are inefficient in their setup and lack enough counter space to work.
Owners have to unload and reload their cart wherever they go, including their heavy machinery. Many have created their own modifications including adding fold out shelves for working.
What’s needed
Interviewing business owners & baristas on their vending experiences
IDEATION + DEVELOPMENT
Exploring storage solutions for a manual coffee setup, focusing on highlight the handcrafted nature
PROTOTYPING + TESTING
Testing for bike geometries through VR and physical mockups
CMF
Exploring CMF options that make the bike recognizable while still leaving room for branding
FINAL CONCEPT
