It’s what you might call the ultimate expresso of 4×4 living, the Suzuki Jimny Beans.
The bespoke, one-off conversion is a fully operational mobile coffee bar used for Suzuki media and promotional events across all divisions of the company of Car, Motorcycle, ATV and Marine products.
Based on a Jimny LCV and finished in Chiffon Ivory Pearl metallic with Bluish Black roof, the conversion was carried out by long established specialists Coffee Latino based in Blaydon, Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
The conversion incorporates various bespoke modifications requested by the Suzuki Press Office to enable maximum use of space within its compact dimensions. These modifications include the installation of a LPG tank located under the rear floor section which required a specially designed exhaust system with side exit pipe.
On the road, Jimny Beans is very much a ‘single shot’ as it’s a one seat vehicle due to the custom fitment of a 57-litre water tank and 3M filtration system. At events, the vehicle can run on either gas or mains electricity with power inverter and has two additional large capacity 125A/H 12V batteries to assist with power if required. A compact 12V drawer fridge manufactured by Waeco is also fitted which cools milk to -2 degrees centigrade.
The high specification coffee machine manufactured by Fracino is fully integrated into the rear section of the vehicle with an aluminium topped work area and milled aluminium effect panel surround. It has the facility to serve two speciality coffees at the same time via its twin milk frothing units as well as central hot water dispenser for Tea.
