ZOespresZO / De Koffiestrateeg

ZOespresZO is a mobile specialty coffee bar in Utrecht and the surrounding area. The business is linked to De Koffiestrateeg and is operated by Emiel Voskuilen. In public listings, ZOespresZO is described as a mobile coffee bar, not a fixed café. A directory listing notes “no visit address” at Meentweg 14, 3454 AS Utrecht. As a result, the operating model aligns more with on-location coffee service than with a traditional hospitality venue with fixed opening hours.

According to available documentation, ZOespresZO has been active since November 22, 2020. The service area includes Utrecht, Vleuten, De Meern, and Leidsche Rijn. The founder is listed on the De Koffiestrateeg website with SCAE Barista Level 1 and SVH Social Hygiene certification. This ties the business profile to barista expertise, mobile service, and deployment at various locations.

The origin of the project is described in relation to an electric Renault ZOE. After purchasing the car, the idea emerged to install an espresso machine in the vehicle. For this purpose, a Fracino Lever 2 Retro was acquired and adapted for mobile use. This machine was chosen with a view to use outside a fixed hospitality kitchen and for operation on gas.

The mobile setup takes several forms. ZOespresZO serves coffee from a blue bicycle cart, from the rear of a fully electric Renault ZOE, or from a mobile coffee bar. The business is mentioned in connection with streets, markets, events, and other locations in Utrecht and neighboring districts. This model focuses on temporary presence, depending on location, weather, and occasion.

Available sources list espresso, coffee, and cappuccino as part of the drink offerings. An online menu also mentions latte, macchiato, and latte macchiato. In the same context, cakes and brownies are listed as desserts. In a post about an information market at Kindcentrum Rijnvliet, coffee, cappuccino, hot chocolate, and tea from Wagemakers Koffie en Thee are mentioned.

According to the official ZOespresZO page, the coffee beans come from rotating roasters. Examples include Nordkapp Coffee from Utrecht, Single Estate from Den Haag, and Kinti Coffee from De Meern. This phrasing indicates a rotating selection rather than a single house roaster. Zuivelrijck milk is also mentioned in visual materials and captions on the official page.

The preparation focuses primarily on espresso and milk-based drinks. The mentioned Fracino Lever 2 Retro was part of the concept’s initial phase. Because the business operates mobile, the technical setup plays a clear role. The equipment must be usable in places without a fixed bar, while still allowing service to take place on location.

ZOespresZO is associated with De Meern, Vleuten, Papendorp, Rijnvliet, Strijkviertel, Utrecht, Jaarbeurs, Harmelen, Montfoort, and Leidsche Rijn. Neighborhood days, reunions, and walking tours are also mentioned as examples of occasions. According to official information, the business is often present on Sundays at the chess tables in the Japanese Garden in Máximapark, when the weather permits.

Several specific activities have been documented. In 2023, ZOespresZO was present at the Waterwinmarkt at the Terwijde shopping center. In the same year, the coffee bar was present at a neighborhood initiative around the unveiling of paving stones on Boomstraat in Utrecht-Oost. The bicycle cart was also used at an information market by Wijkbureau Leidsche Rijn at Kindcentrum Rijnvliet.

Sustainability is highlighted in the sources primarily through transport, cups, and procurement. The business uses a fully electric Renault ZOE and an electric bicycle or bicycle cart. A local profile page states that ZOespresZO travels through Utrecht by electric car or bicycle wherever possible. The same source mentions reusable cups, local roasters, and sustainably sourced specialty coffee.

The De Koffiestrateeg website also notes that the outdoor machine was gas-powered in the initial phase. A bicycle cart was later added. This outlines a development from a mobile coffee service based on an electric car to a broader deployment using a bicycle and cart. At Kindcentrum Leeuwesteijn, reusable cups and a collection bin are mentioned.

ZOespresZO is featured on Ontdek Leidsche Rijn within local discovery content and under “De Oogst van Leidsche Rijn.” There, the business is described as a mobile barista service in Leidsche Rijn and the surrounding area. A post by De Koffiestrateeg from July 2025 references media coverage by SVJ Media, but the page in question was not accessible during the review.

Restaurant Guru lists “Mobile specialty coffee bar ZOespresZO” with a Google rating display of 5 out of 5 based on seven votes. The same listing again shows the address with the designation “no visit address.” No inclusion in a price list or award selection was found in the consulted public sources. The available picture is therefore primarily that of a local, mobile coffee service with a documented presence at neighborhood and event locations.
