Car for coffee lovers complete with mini fridge, milk steamer and coffee beans

The perfect car for coffee lovers has been unveiled - complete with top-of-the-range coffee machines, storage for beans and pods, and a mini fridge.



The aptly named Vauxhall MOKKA COFFE-E concept has been designed to meet the needs of fans of the popular beverage and is kitted out with a milk steamer, coffee grinder, and knock box which sit within a bespoke cabinet.

     

The electric vehicle (EV) also features a pull-out drawer to house 'barista quality' tools, including scales for precisely measuring out beans, a Weiss Distribution Technique (WDT) tool to ensure a smooth flow of coffee, and an espresso tamper to evenly pack the grounds.
