Professional Coffee Catering
in Frankfurt am Main
Our Services & Expertise
Barista coffee catering for trade fairs – professionally planned, reliably delivered.
For us, trade fair catering isn’t just an additional service – it’s our core business. Since 2018, our team of baristas has been providing catering for trade fair stands, conferences and corporate events in the Rhine-Main region. We know the processes, we know the requirements – and we know what it means when everything has to be ready by 8 am on the first day of the trade fair. You book us once – and after that, you don’t have to worry about coffee.
‘We see ourselves as your hospitality partner at your booth. Our coffee brings people together and ensures that your guests will have positive memories of your trade fair participation."
1. Planning & coordination in advance: Right from the start of the planning phase, we work closely with your stand builder – to agree on counter placement, power sockets, water connections and space requirements. This ensures that everything runs smoothly on the day of the set-up and there are no surprises. Good planning means no stress.
2. Experienced baristas – even under pressure: Our barista team is used to working at trade fairs. Fast-paced operations, lots of guests at once, and no compromise on quality. The coffee keeps flowing – even when things get hectic at the stand.
3. Installation, operation, dismantling – all from a single provider: We’ll bring everything with us, set it all up, run the coffee bar and clear everything away at the end. You won’t have to coordinate anything, ask for anything or follow up on anything.
4. Service staff on request: Do you need more than just baristas at your stand? On request, we can also provide service staff to look after your exhibition stand – so that your team can focus fully on talking to customers.
5. Porcelain or sustainable takeaway cups: On request, we can serve your coffee in porcelain coffee cups. Alternatively, we offer sustainable takeaway cups, which can be printed with your logo on request. We take sustainability seriously – not just when it comes to coffee, but also when it comes to our coffee cups.
6. No hotel accommodation costs: Our team of baristas is based in the Rhine-Main region – Frankfurt, Mainz, Wiesbaden, Darmstadt, Rheingau, Bingen and Bad Kreuznach. No accommodation costs, no long journeys, and quick response times.

FAQ
1. Buchung
Please send us an enquiry stating the date, venue and number of guests – we’ll get back to you promptly, discuss your requirements and send you a bespoke quote. During the planning phase, we’ll liaise directly with your stand builder regarding counter placement, power supply and space requirements. On the day of the trade fair, everything will run smoothly.
Our regular customers often book their appointments up to 12 months in advance – experience has shown that slots for major Frankfurt trade fairs such as Heimtextil, ACHEMA, the Frankfurt Book Fair, Automechanika, Ambiente and Light+Building are snapped up quickly. Ideally, please enquire at least 4 months in advance so that we can still secure your preferred date.
We work on a daily flat-rate basis based on the agreed number of guests. Drinks are totalled across the entire event. If more are prepared, we charge an additional flat rate for every 100 extra drinks – transparently and as agreed in advance.

2. About us – Regional, Quality, Expertise
We’re right where our clients’ trade fairs are held. No hotel costs, no long journeys – our team is on site quickly, responds flexibly and knows the Frankfurt Exhibition Centre inside out. Our clients save on the extra charges that national providers typically levy.
All our baristas have many years’ experience working in speciality coffee shops in the Rhine-Main region. Our team has been trained at the Coffee Consulate in Mannheim and have a proven track record of participating in SCA Latte Art Championships. They speak German and English and are thoroughly familiar with the day-to-day running of a catering business. Your stand is in professional hands.
We work exclusively with professional speciality coffee equipment: portafilter machines from La Marzocco, San Remo and Victoria Arduino, as well as Mahlkönig E65 Grind by Weight grinders, which measure out the exact weight. To ensure consistent water quality, we use Brita water filters in combination with water bottles – a water connection at the stand is not required.
Our counter module measures 1.70 m × 0.80 m. When integrating the portafilter machine into an existing exhibition stand, a minimum of 1.20 m × 70 cm of worktop space, a working height of 85 cm, as well as storage space and a cable duct beneath the counter are required. We will coordinate the details with your stand builder in advance.
We’ll bring our own water – no water connection is required at the stand. For electricity, depending on the type of machine, we need at least 2× Schuko connections, each with its own fuse, or 16A three-phase power.

We serve speciality coffee – not your average coffee blend. Our beans come from the PachaMama cooperative, hand-picked in Peru, and are roasted especially for us by Caffè Due Mani at Frankfurt’s Eastern Harbour.
