Looking to buy a coffee truck in Egypt? Prioritize total cost, compliance, and throughput; expect 350k–1.2M EGP for a used-to-new, fully equipped build depending on chassis (Suzuki Carry/Nissan pickup), fit-out quality, and gear. Source units via OLX, Facebook groups, and coachbuilders in 6th of October or 10th of Ramadan; inspect welds, 304 stainless surfaces, anti-slip flooring, and weight distribution (espresso and water mid-axle). Power: a silent 6–8 kVA inverter generator or a 10–15 kWh LiFePO4 pack with 5 kW inverter; size for a 2‑group 3 kW espresso machine, grinder, fridge, and 12 V pump. Water: 150–200 L fresh, equal waste, food-grade tanks, and a scale-control filter targeting 70–150 ppm hardness. Ventilation and steam management via roof vent and 300–600 m³/h hood. Permits: apply for a municipal mobile-vending license through your district office with commercial registry, tax card, staff health certificates, fire extinguishers, and basic layout drawings. Sites: negotiate written placement agreements with malls, universities, or business parks; grid power access beats generator noise. Operations: choose a menu that a 2‑group can deliver at 40–80 cups/hour, fit a POS that supports Egypt’s e‑receipt rules, keep two 6 kg dry‑powder extinguishers, and budget 10% for maintenance. Plus contingency for fuel and permits.
