COFFEE CART FOR WEDDINGS

At Rugged Coffee, we cater all sorts of events, whether it is coffee catering for a corporate event, coffee catering for conferences, coffee catering for conventions, mobile coffee catering for birthday party’s, mobile coffee catering for engagement party’s, or coffee catering for weddings. We come to you to serve you the best coffee you’ve ever had and we know that you’ll hear that statement from every coffee caterer around, but just look at our yelp reviews or google reviews to see what people are saying about our mobile coffee catering bar and drinks that we prepare and serve. We are confident that you will not find better coffee and service around.

Some ways that we can make your wedding truly one of a kind is that we are able to create custom latte flavors just for you. If we are given more than 1 months notice, then we are able to create 1 custom flavored latte of your choice, just for your event or wedding. Some of the custom flavors that we have created and now have on our list to choose from are the Lavender Honey Latte, our Churro Latte, our Chestnut Praline, and our Samoa (just to name a few). Another way that we can make your wedding or event truly special is by customizing our coffee cart. The logo in the front of our cart is removable so we can relace that sign with any other sign you would like to have on there, as long as the sign fits the space and is light enough to be held by velcro. Another way that we can create a customized coffee experience is by serving out of custom cups for you, but you will have to provide those for us to use. Lastly, another way that we can customize your wedding or event is by printing a custom stamp that we can use to leave a design on top of each hot drink that we serve.

With our stamping, we use a nonflavor adding component to imprint the design that you want. This is a very uncommon thing you will get to experience because most caterers that use a stamp to imprint designs on their customers drinks, they often use a powder, such as cocoa powder. The problem with cocoa powder is that it will imart an additional unwanted flavor to each drink, so we have set out to create this way to imprint the custom design on each latte without using an ingredient that will add unwanted flavors that dont belong in most drinks that are served.

Booking us means that you get not only the best coffee service around that your guests will be talking about for years, but also a well thought out and executed catering experience that is rivaled by none.

SPECIALTY COFFEE CATERING

Coffee catering is an industry where companies are plentiful, so it’s easy to find someone catering coffee. The problem with coffee caterers and mobile espresso bars is that most of them dont know what they are doing. They do what most coffee shop owners do, and that is that they get into the industry because they think that it’ll be easy and that all they need to do is get machines and coffee beans, while the rest will handle itself. This is why there are so many bad coffee shops and bad coffee caterers. Rugged Coffee is different though, we have started a coffee catering company because we have catered before and know how to do it so that we are efficient and so that every coffee we serve tastes the amazing.

Specialty Coffee is an industry that is tricky to be involved in, and easy to mess up. The science of coffee is tricky and the variables to keep in mind are plentiful. Things you have to keep in mind are grind size (whether the grind is too coarse or too fine), the water (how much or little water to use or what minerals are in the water), and the brew time (brewing too long will yield bitter tastes and brewing too fast can result in sour and light tasting coffee). Brewing coffee perfectly is hard to do but once you’ve mastered it, then it comes as second nature, but now add another variable into the mix, serving events, and things get complicated again. Treating catering like a coffee shop will result in service that takes far too long, but serving fast without standards will get you back to where we started where the coffee will taste terrible. That is why creating efficient serving standards while keeping coffee quality high is the goal of any coffee caterer. At Rugged Coffee, through the 8 years that we have been in business, we have created many standards to serve fast and coffee quality high.

Try our services out today to find for yourself how we are able to serve your guests fantastic coffee efficiently using our local mobile coffee bar.

SOCAL SPECIALTY COFFEE

Specialty Coffee in Southern California is an industry that is booming and so no wonder why people want that Specialty Coffee at their event or wedding, but the Specialty Coffee industry was not always booming out here, though. There was the intro to it back in 2011 with Portola Coffee who were all about the quality of the coffee and not so much care for the customer service or experience, then after a few more specialty coffee shops opened, the turn to customer service was starting to be top priority again. Now most specialty coffee shops only care about that and not so much about creating a great coffee beverage or coffee experience anymore. We believe that you don’t have to have a tradeoff of the two, that those two aspects of coffee can work harmoniously together and we showcase that at each event that we serve at. We cater small events to catering very large events, there is no event size too big or small for us.

Being a Southern California catering company has its benefits, such as, the weather is usually pretty great so indoor or outdoor events are pretty much always available to happen, but because of that, the competition is fierce. That is why we make sure that we are on the top of our game and that we are providing the best quality and service in the industry. We provide Specialty Espresso and Coffee Catering all over the Southern California area, from Los Angeles to Orange County to the Inland Empire (or Riverside County) to San Diego County and we even travel to Las Vegas for our catering. Basically anywhere you need coffee in Southern California, we can bring that coffee catering to your event or conference or convention and even weddings. Reach out today and see how we can elevate your event by providing the best coffee and the best service around.

PORTOLA COFFEE ROASTERS

We love our friendships in the coffee industry, they are who helped us become who we are today. Today we just wanted to highlight a friend in Costa Mesa, a coffee roasting company named Portola Coffee Roasters. Portola Coffee is one of the coffee roasters that we use on our coffee cart and because of our great relationship with them and our expertise in the craft, we also take care of all of Portola Coffee’s catering requests. We have been involved with this company since its birth in 2011, from Skyler helping to open their first store to finding his love for catering while catering events for them. This is where Skyler really started to get his feet wet with specialty coffee.

Photo credit: Kyle Flath; @Kyleflath

When Portola Coffee Roasters emerged, they changed the way Orange County consumes coffee forever. When they first opened, they went all out on finding the perfect cup of coffee by utilizing different manual brew methods, such as, the siphon which heats water until it travels from the bottom chamber to the top chamber where the coffee gets brewed, then after a short brew time, the siphon is taken off the heat and as it cools down the brewed coffee then travels back down through a filter to the bottom chamber. They also utilized a brew machine called the Bunn Trifecta, now this machine is very unique as we haven’t seen anyone else use one of them in any other coffee shop. This machine has 10 different setting within it and each setting have 10 different settings within them as well, from how hot the water temperature is to how much agitation is used to how hard the agitation is to how much water is used to how long the brew time is (and the list goes on), but the really cool thing about this machine is that you can really get the coffee to taste amazing through the different settings and once the settings are figured out, then they are set and everything is automated and quick serve after that. Lastly they utilize the Hario V60 pour over vessels which give a very clean and complex cup of coffee. This brew method utilizes the Baristas skill in pouring the water over the coffee grounds at the right times and the right weight, which means that a timer and a scale are a must for this brew method.

Portola Coffee has been always searching for the best cup of coffee, but before they even get to the brewed coffee they have to start their process at the farm where coffee is grown. Portola’s owner, Jeff Duggan, fly’s directly to the farms (which are all around the world), to find the best farm that utilizes the best growing practices that will result in the best coffee. Along his travels, he came across a farm that he had to adopt, a farm that he saw potential in. The farm didn’t have the finances to get themselves the equipment they needed to take their coffee to the level it could be, so out of Jeff’s compassion, he would pay top dollar to this farm to help them get those finances and since he’s done that, their coffee has become one of the best coffees on Portola’s menu.

We see Portola Coffee Roaster’s as one of the best roasters in SoCal which is why we like to use their coffee on our cart. If you haven’t visited one of their shops, then you’re missing out on a great coffee and experience. Their flagship is the cafe in Costa Mesa, but they also have several others scattered all over the OC.

If you want to purchase some of their coffee and help support them, visit: www.PortolaCoffee.com and enter the discount code “RUGGED15” to get 15% off everything online (except “Mocha Bombs”). We hope you enjoy!
