A NEW SERVICE · DEPARTING NOW
A specialty coffee bar at York's Askham Bar Park & Ride — in partnership with First Bus. Beans roasted on electricity in our Raylor Centre roastery. Pulled on a state-of-the-art espresso machine. Served from an upcycled horsebox. Where the energy transition meets your cup of coffee.
THE LINE · 5 STOPS
OLD MEETS NEW
A retired horsebox, reimagined as a mobile coffee bar. Steel that has already lived a life, repainted in kWh black-and-yellow, parked permanently at Askham Bar P&R. Built to outlast a thousand commuter mornings.
A Swiss-built Eversys Cameo: a compact super-traditional espresso system engineered to pour third-wave quality at park-and-ride pace. Twin boilers, volumetric dosing and automatic group flushing mean every shot lands with barista-grade consistency — no gas, no compromise, just clean electric extraction.
Sierre, Switzerland · 100% electricSwiss super-traditional. Volumetric precision, sub-second extraction parity, espresso pulled the way a third-wave barista would — at park-and-ride pace.
Buses are going electric. Roasters are going electric. We're standing where those two energy transitions meet — at York's most-used Park & Ride — and we're pouring it into a cup.
Specialty coffee shouldn't be indie or intimidating. It should be the default morning ritual for anyone catching the 07:42. Better coffee, lower price, faster than a kettle.
This isn't a coffee shop at a bus stop. It's a stop on a longer route — from Yorkshire roastery to commuter cup, with First Bus carrying the passengers and kWh carrying the kilowatts.
