Luxury event espresso bar & coffee catering in Milwaukee

For evenings designed down to the glassware.

You chose the venue, the florals, the stationery and the light. Coffee is often the one vendor that shows up with a folding table and a banquet urn.

AM Coffee Co is a luxury espresso bar for the planners who notice that. We style the bar to fit your design and make every drink by hand. Our baristas take care of your guests like they’re part of your own team. Here’s how an evening with us goes.

I · Before the doors open

The bar is set before your first guest arrives.

We confirm load-in and placement with your venue weeks ahead. On the day we arrive early, dress the bar to your palette and have the machine warm and dialed in while the room is still quiet. When the doors open, it looks like it was always part of the room.

II · The first pour

Every drink is made by hand, one cup at a time.

Beans are ground for each shot, and each shot is weighed as it pulls. Milk is steamed for every cup and finished with latte art. It’s the kind of coffee your guests would stand in line for at a great café, without the line.

III · Where the room gathers

Guests find their way to the bar and stay to talk.

Guests like watching their drink get made and talking with the barista about the coffee. At a gala the bar turns into a meeting place, and at a reception it’s where people go between dessert and dancing.

IV · In every frame

Styled for your photographer.

The bar is dressed to match your palette and your florist’s work, down to the menu sign. We work with you to choose the right cupware for each drink, from cortados and macchiatos to lattes, americanos and iced lattes. Custom branding puts your names or your client’s mark on the bar, and in the photos everyone shares the next morning.

V · Until the last guest

Hospitality you never have to think about.

You have one point of contact from booking to the final cup. Our baristas are trained in hospitality as much as coffee, so they pay attention to your guests and work around your timeline. When the night’s over, we pack up quietly and leave the space clean.

Questions planners ask

What does the venue need to provide for the espresso bar?

Space and power. We bring everything else, and we confirm placement with your venue coordinator before the event.

Can the bar carry our client’s or sponsor’s branding?

Yes. Custom branding is available, and we’ll work with you on cupware that suits the event. Send artwork at least 3 weeks before the event so there’s time to print.

How many guests can one espresso bar serve?

Each barista makes about 40 drinks an hour. For larger guest counts we bring up to three coffee carts, so lines stay short.

Do you travel outside Milwaukee?

Yes. Travel within 70 miles round trip of Muskego is included. Events farther out are quoted with mileage.

Your design deserves the same care in every cup.
