Hi there, my name is Rob, creator, and operator of Flying Mug Coffee​. The Idea for Flying Mug Coffee came to me in my early twenties after spending several years working as a barista and coffee roaster. The idea was simple and fun; to have a coffee truck similar to an ice cream truck, travel wherever the road would take me, meet amazing people, and serve them outstanding coffee. Originally, I wanted to use a vintage European utility van, but after some research found it to be too arduous to import and convert. I went back to the drawing board and spent a few years looking around at buses, vans, trucks, bikes, carts, tiny house-like structures, and finally came across our little 1973 Roadrunner travel trailer. With the help of numerous friends, family, and the never-ending support of my wife, Kelsey, I spent two years renovating and converting the trailer into a mobile coffee bar. 

​

What would motivate me to spend countless hours covered in sawdust, breathing fumes, tirelessly crafting and building something based on a whimsical, "fun" idea? 

​

Passion.
