Hey mate, awesome videos. Outstanding work. You might have answered someone this same questions, how do you know your grey water tank is getting full? Is it visible somewhere? cheers

[@lovelyrich54]

Hello how are today! Looking to get into the food truck business and I watch lots of these videos because I know nothing about them lol.May i ask where you purchased your trailer?

[@alexanderarriaga9055]

Jojo, Looks like you put a lot of work into your set up. I was curious if you could use an extra hand on the weekends?

[@jojosespresso9264]

Thanks for your interest! We are good as of right now!

[@jenniferbell6730]

Do you wish you had gone with bigger sinks? Or just one big sink? Do you have to have 3 for health code reasons?

[@jojosespresso9264]

No, we love the size sinks we have! And yes, it’s for health code reasons

[@ashleykanasty7211]

I found this video helpful. I never thought about adding the spouts to the drain pipes, which I will be adding now. Two questions, 1) Does your code allow you to drain from your pitcher rinser into your grey water tank without a grease trap (due to the milk) 2) Is that tile on your wall or some kind of vinyl sheet? I think it looks great and am looking for something similar. Thanks!

[@jojosespresso9264]

Hey there! We never had any kind of codes that we had to follow about grease traps. Therefore we do not have grease traps and we are totally fine with the health department. The tile you see is peel and stick. It’s 12”x12” squares that just stick to the wall

How much do you make Gross in an average day working 6-noon? More than $200.00?

[@DocseriousFilms]

Great video! I have a question: For plumbing your espresso machine underneath, did you pipe the hose straight into a fresh water tank directly as the machine pumps it up? Or is there also an external water pump connected from Water + Pump + Espresso Machine? Thank you

[@jojosespresso9264]

Hey David, so the plumbing chain goes like this… starts from the fresh water tank then goes to the pump, then to an accumulator tank, then to the sinks, then to the rinser, then to the water filter, then espresso machine, then the 2nd accumulator tank, then to the coffee brewer. All one line!

[@DocseriousFilms]

@@jojosespresso9264 Awesome! Thank you for taking the time to get back to me.

[@ethanneff5263]

Where do you fill up your fresh water tank? and do you think 40 gallons is enough or do you wish you would have gone bigger?

[@jojosespresso9264]

I fill it with city water from a hose. I have a filter on the trailer that goes to espresso and coffee maker. 40 gallons is suffice. We do 4-5 hour shifts and I have never run out of water. Even on days when the line is non stop.

@@jojosespresso9264 how much water do you go thru on a non stop day? 20 gallons, 30 gallons???

[@jojosespresso9264]

[@Mark-ez4ro]

Very good informative videos. Quick question: With your coffee Brew and espresso machine do you only have one water source/water tank for both?

[@jojosespresso9264]

Yes, just one fresh water tank for everything on board.

[@Mark-ez4ro]

@@jojosespresso9264 Thank you for all your replies. I’m also working on a coffee trailer here in the state of California. Your Flojet pump and accumulator tanks did you buy them separately or a a whole system? Thank you

[@jojosespresso9264]

[@DosKaffeinated]

So do you empty the gray water tank everyday?

[@jojosespresso9264]

Yes I do!

[@kaitlynmiklovich3873]

What kind of tile did you use on your walls? How do they hold up to movement on the road?

[@jojosespresso9264]

They hold up great! It’s called Tic Tac Tile. Found it on Amazon

[@Mark-ez4ro]

Do you recommend that size of accumulator tank vs the must smaller one? I think you running a 2gallon accumulator tank? Thank you

[@jojosespresso9264]

I am running 2 of them. And yes they are 2 gallon. I have one right by the main water tank then one right before the coffee maker so there’s an even flow of water.

[@Mark-ez4ro]

@@jojosespresso9264 I see great info. I’ll definitely consider similar set up for my coffee trailer. I don’t think I’ve seen on your videos what type of generator your running? Thank you for all your info
