We operate across three distinct shipyards and workshops. Your land-galleon will transition between different dry docks and specialized building stations depending on the stage of construction before she is ready for final pickup.

No, Manufacturer’s Certificate of Origin (MCO) simply identifies the licensed manufacturer responsible for issuing the certificate, not necessarily the facility or facilities in which the trailer was physically built. Many builders partner with or operate through manufacturers that hold the required licensing to issue MCOs, so it is common for the MCO to list a different company than the one or multiples that performed the actual construction of the trailer. 

Once your ship has standing walls and the axle is secured, we submit the manifest for the Manufacturer’s Certificate of Origin (MCO) to secure your unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).

No. The multiple building stations do not track individual captains or ship names. All builds are registered under Grindhead Coffee as the dealer of record. To abide strictly by our first-come, first-serve covenant, once a VIN is officially assigned to a completed chassis, Grindhead assigns it to the next captain waiting in the queue.

We understand your high excitement, but due to unforeseen build obstacles and material supply lines, we strongly advise AGAINST hard-booking events or locations until you have the ship physically in your possession. Instead, secure your spot, build your database, and sell bagged coffee beans. Your database is your strongest treasure—build your crew list now while the ship is in progress!

If you have already started earning income and building your database, then you already of the REVI handheld hardware that is comp to you, however as soon as you receive your ship's official VIN, contact REVI to have them dispatch your Barista Tablet. If you haven’t started, then  they will send you both at that time.  

The Barista Cannon runs off a standard 110v outlet and uses a standard ice making water line to connect to the water pump. Your ship will include several outlets you can use for your Barista Tablet and if you choose to purchase a standard countertop fridge. 

A. You will need an active insurance policy that includes your ship's VIN number before pickup can be scheduled. A copy of the insurance declaration page must be provided to us prior to scheduling your pickup appointment.

Once your ship's VIN number has been assigned, you may begin obtaining insurance quotes and securing coverage. We recommend waiting to activate or purchase the policy until you are nearing your scheduled pickup date to avoid paying for coverage before the vessel is ready for delivery.

B. If a 3rd party will be hired to pick up the trailer, a release form provided by Grindhead Coffee must be filled out completely prior to pickup. 

The standard 10’ coffee ship weights approximately 2500 lbs so it can be pulled easily with a vehicle rated with a 3500 towing capacity. Check your vehicles towing capacity prior to pulling.

Short answer: Not usually.

The longer answer: Our manufacturing process is different than building one trailer from start to finish in a single bay. At any given time, multiple trailer components are being produced simultaneously for several future builds. Frames, sinks, counters, walls, electrical systems, and other components are often manufactured in batches.

Because of this, it would be nearly impossible to determine which welded sink, fabricated counter, or assembled component ultimately belongs to a specific customer's trailer. In many cases, these parts are not assigned to a particular build until much later in the production process.
