ZOespresZO

ZOespresZO is a mobile specialty coffee bar in De Meern, Vleuten-De Meern, and surrounding parts of Utrecht. The business is publicly described as a location-based coffee bar, not as a café with a fixed visit address. Its operating area includes, among others, Utrecht, De Meern, Leidsche Rijn, Vleuten, and nearby places.

The name is linked to Emiel Voskuilen, who is also associated with De Koffiestrateeg and WorldMapOfCoffee in De Meern. Public business records list a KVK number. Two public references exist regarding the start date: the ZOespresZO website cites October 10, 2020, while a page on De Koffiestrateeg mentions November 22, 2020.

Voskuilen’s background is rooted in home barista experience. Available information describes how he learned by brewing coffee, attending workshops, reading websites and forums, visiting festivals, and occasionally giving workshops himself. He also engaged in the maintenance of espresso machines. Later, he built a mobile coffee setup in an electric Renault ZOE.

The concept revolves around coffee on location. ZOespresZO uses a bike trailer, an electric Renault ZOE, or a mobile bar for this purpose. Public descriptions emphasize serving coffee in neighborhoods, at events, and at temporary stands. Conversation and meeting people are highlighted as part of the approach, alongside the practical mobile service.

According to public information, ZOespresZO works with rotating coffee roasters. Mentioned roasters include Nordkapp Coffee from Utrecht, Single Estate from The Hague, Kinti Coffee from De Meern, and Keen Coffee. The coffee is described as specialty coffee and, where possible, as direct trade. The available text does not specify a fixed blend, origin list, or permanent assortment.

The beverage offering includes coffee, espresso, cappuccino, tea, and hot chocolate. The bike trailer is described as equipped with a Fracino two-group lever machine and a Fiorenzato grinder. The Renault ZOE setup is noted to feature a retro Vibiemme machine. Thus, the technical configuration varies depending on the mobile format.

In addition to beverages, several complementary products are mentioned. These include brownies, blondies, and chocolate dompels from Mesjokke. For milk, the information refers to organic cow’s milk from Zuivelrijck and oat milk from Oatly or Zuivelrijck. For hot chocolate, Chocomel, Tony Chocolonely, and Zuivelrijck are cited.

In addition to coffee on location, barista and coffee workshops have been documented. These take place in De Meern or on-site at client locations. Topics covered include espresso, cappuccino, latte macchiato, slow coffee, coffee origins, branding, and the so-called five M’s. Maintenance of fully automatic coffee machines is also listed as a workshop topic.

These workshop activities place ZOespresZO within a broader coffee culture where technique, taste, and maintenance converge. However, the available information does not mention formal training, certifications, or awards. The picture remains primarily based on publicly described activities and practical situations.

A recurring location in public information is Máximapark in Utrecht. On Sundays, depending on the weather, ZOespresZO is often found with the blue bike trailer at the chess tables in the Japanese Garden. Free sales at other spots around De Meern and Vleuten are also mentioned.

Furthermore, ZOespresZO is available for a wide range of gatherings. Mentioned examples include birthdays, openings, neighborhood activities, reunions, walks, office environments, markets, and receptions. Event listings also cite weddings, anniversaries, sports events, business meetings, trade fairs, festivals, and local events.

In 2024, ZoEspresZo was mentioned in the context of Buurtcamping Máximapark. A public Instagram post from March 31, 2024, also references RTL Nieuws filming at the chess tables in Máximapark. The consulted information does not mention any public award or formal distinction for ZOespresZO.

Sustainability is a visible part of the public business description. ZOespresZO mentions the use of a bicycle or an electric car. The electric car is noted for bad weather or longer distances. For assignments, the business uses available electricity wherever possible.

Various choices regarding cups are also documented. The information mentions sugarcane cups with a thin plastic coating, the reuse of cups, the acceptance of customers' own cups, and reusable Circulware cups that are collected and cleaned. These options are presented in the sources as practical measures within mobile sales.

The publicly named suppliers range from coffee roasters to dairy and chocolate brands. In addition to Nordkapp Coffee, Single Estate Coffee, Kinti Coffee, and Keen Coffee, Zuivelrijck, Oatly, Chocomel, Tony Chocolonely, Mesjokke, and Circulware are mentioned. This makes the supply chain partially visible, although volumes, contract types, and exact origins remain out of sight.
