Our Story

In the fall of 2016, Scott decided to do something different after spending the majority of his career as a mechanic.  He brought a wrecked 1970’s mail truck home and had a plan. He was going to build a self-sustainable mobile coffee & espresso truck for coffee and espresso catering. Scott’s idea evolved from his experience in high school, where he took a small business development class and learned how to operate an espresso stand.

​

Fast forward to the fall of 2017 and Gotta Have Coffee, LLC was formed out of Scott’s mechanical skills and a vision for offering Portland a mobile coffee & espresso truck. Scott erected the truck from the ground up while exploring coffee roasters, equipment suppliers, and the overall coffee market in Portland, Oregon. 

The mobile coffee & espresso truck goes to the customer and therefore creates a mobile coffee & espresso catering experience.

Scott is a barista who serves some of the best coffee in town using Caffe Umbria beans.  He takes pride in his work, enjoys being out and about in the community, and shares his smile and good laugh with everyone. Scott finds joy in making everyone’s day better, especially with a good cup of specialty coffee and a funny story or two.
