Startup costs vary depending on your setup. Here's a rough range:

• Coffee Cart: $15,000–$30,000

• Coffee Trailer: $25,000–$50,000

• Coffee Truck: $40,000–$75,000+

You’ll need to invest in an espresso machine, grinder, power and water systems, permits, branding, and starting inventory. Want to save money? Consider buying used equipment or starting with a smaller footprint. The key is to launch lean, then grow as demand increases.
