About fresh BEAN Adelaide
fresh BEAN Adelaide is a family-run mobile coffee business owned and operated by Cosie and Babs Annese. Based in Largs Bay in Adelaide's western suburbs, the couple has spent about ten years making coffee on the road, starting out in a modest van before moving up to a purpose-built set-up. Their current rig is an off-road Mazda BT-50 fitted out as a full espresso bar, with a built-in battery and solar power system. Because it is self-sufficient, the truck can park on a lawn, at a sports ground or beside a ceremony site without needing a power lead, and it tends to draw a crowd on arrival. The menu covers the coffee classics – espresso, long black, flat white, cappuccino, latte, macchiato, iced coffee and decaf – along with hot or iced chocolate and mocha, several chai styles and specialty teas. Milk choices include full cream, skim, soy, lactose free, almond and oat. The coffee is a locally roasted espresso blend, and at private events, where licensing allows, the pair can also make espresso martinis. For hosted events there are three packages: one hour with up to 50 cups, two hours with up to 80 cups, or three hours with up to 100 cups, all in small cups with medium cups available at a small extra cost per cup. Workplaces, corporate functions, weddings, school and sports days, auctions and private gatherings all appear on their list of regular bookings. Cups and lids are plant-based and compostable, and waste is recycled.

Frequently asked questions
Does the fresh BEAN coffee truck need power at my event?
No. The espresso bar runs on its own integrated battery and solar system, so it can set up on grass, at a park or at an outdoor ceremony without a power outlet.
How do the hosted coffee packages work?
There are three hosted options: one hour covering up to 50 cups, two hours covering up to 80 cups, and three hours covering up to 100 cups. Packages use small cups, and medium cups can be swapped in for an extra dollar each.
Which drinks are on the fresh BEAN menu?
Espresso-based coffees from long black to latte and macchiato, iced coffee and decaf, hot or iced chocolate and mocha, spiced, vanilla, turmeric and dirty chai, plus specialty teas. Smoothies can be made on request.
Are dairy-free milks available?
Yes. Alongside full cream and skim, the truck carries soy, lactose-free, almond and oat milk, so guests with dietary needs or vegan preferences are covered.
Can fresh BEAN serve espresso martinis at a wedding or party?
At private events where the licence allows it, the owners can add espresso martinis to the menu. Ask about this when you share your event details.
