The Human Bean Coffee Truck Northern CO
The Human Bean is your one stop locally owned & operated coffee shop (and mobile truck!) with nine locations serving Fort Collins, Loveland, Greeley, Evans, LaSalle and Windsor. Our local team is dedicated to embracing the community through donations to local nonprofits, as well as financial giving through our many events and fundraisers.
About Our Location
As our first “new stand” in six years, The Human Bean Coffee Truck brings Northern Colorado’s favorite coffee directly to you and your special event with state of the art equipment and features! With a continued focus on customer service and convenience, we strive to provide an even better solution to the fast-paced lives that our customers lead.
With new and innovative approaches, the truck is anything but average. Between Custom Cart’s design ideas and SVI’s ability to turn those ideas into a reality, the coffee truck is filled with custom mechanics that transform it into a rolling Human Bean!
The coffee truck has many custom features including:
- A flat panel TV/monitor that will stream CSU games so fans don’t miss a play while getting their coffee, plus an interior and exterior sound system with awning for better TV viewing.
- A sunroof from which you just might see one of their baristas pop out!
- Dual solar panels that serve as the fuel for onboard electronics but will be the power source for a customer charging station called the “Juice Bar”.
- A front seat that converts to a desk for office workspace.
- Three “towers” on the rear of the unit and side panels that hide the wheels to help emulate the look of The Human Bean’s branded retail locations, disguising that it’s even a truck.
The Human Bean Coffee Truck is the first food truck to ever have an NSF Certified “Custom Liner within Food Preparation Areas.” No other food truck can make this claim.
It is fully equipped with:
- three espresso machines
- one super granita machine
- one smoothie machine
- an ice machine
- a large three-compartment refrigerator
- an under-counter refrigerator, plus two drawers, three-compartment sink, hand sink, dump sink and NASA restroom!
It’s safe to say you won’t find a mobile coffee truck like this anywhere else. And although The Human Bean Coffee Truck will primarily be stationed at CSU, it will take off from time to time to attend CSU games and other local events! To get your caffeine fix on your way to school or in between classes, stop by at the truck’s home base near Moby Arena on the Intramural Fields at CSU. As the “Official Coffee Sponsor” of CSU Athletics, you will also find the Human Bean Coffee Truck selling drinks at sporting events throughout the year and at the concession stands of both Moby Arena and Hughes Stadium.
