They are young, innovative, adventurous and are towing a vintage-look caravan around Australia, bringing speciality coffee to remote outback communities.

Jess Davidson and Andy Hoffman, both in their 30s, quit their jobs in hospitality and graphic design to fulfil a dream to make good coffee more accessible to those living outside major centres.

The pair, who left their Melbourne home in December 2017, are travelling in a buttercup yellow 1983 pop-top campervan named Saffy that has been in Ms Davidson's family for 20 years.

Trundling along behind is their little coffee caravan, custom-built in 2017, from which they are serving coffee to a grateful clientele in various small towns along the east coast of Australia and now, in outback Queensland.

Business name inspired by Go-Betweens hit

Inspired by a famous song from Brisbane band The Go-Betweens, they named themselves Round & Round Coffee and are living by the lyrics: "Round and round, up and down, through the streets of your town".

"We already loved coffee and travelling and we'd try to head out to the bush every weekend but sometimes found it hard to get a good cup of coffee," Ms Davidson said.

"So we thought about what people need and decided we could bring coffee to places where there aren't good coffee shops.

"It's been really great to get away from so many coffee shops [in Melbourne] and be that place people are looking for.

"Our mission is to bring a pop-up cafe to those towns where people would have to travel maybe 20 to 45 minutes to the nearest cafe."

Conscious not to 'muscle in'

As for established cafes, the couple do their research before arriving in a town, quite often locating themselves in a caravan park.

"It's a very conscious decision in the planning stage not to go anywhere near where there's a coffee shop," Ms Davidson said.

"We're not out to take local business or anyone's livelihood, so we've always had a good relationship with cafes for that reason."

Currently at the Sunset Tourist Park in Mount Isa, the locals and travellers are keeping them busy with orders, many bringing their own cups.

The most popular coffee they sell is a cappuccino, followed closely by a flat white, but surprisingly, Queensland drinkers prefer their coffee extra hot.

"I love the way some of the [grey] nomads come up and just say, 'I'll have a coffee thanks' and I ask what kind of coffee would they like and they say, 'I dunno, just a coffee'," Mr Hoffman said.

Following the scent

Trevor Kay and his family are taking a year to travel around the country from their home on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula.

He and his two-year-old daughter Madison are back for another coffee after first discovering the caravan at Hideaway Bay on the coast about a month ago.

"They make a great coffee so we started following them on Facebook and realised they were in Mount Isa at the same time [as us]," Mr Kay said.

"So we came across from the other caravan park purely to get coffee from them."

They hope to catch up with the van again when both are in Darwin in a few weeks.

Supporting local farmers

Coffee is shipped to the couple by a Melbourne roaster — they are currently awaiting a delivery that has already been 11 days in transit.

"We always buy our milk fresh in the towns we're in and we always grab the milk that supports local dairy farmers," Ms Davidson said.

"That's really big to us and was always part of our business planning — to give back in some way."

Also in their planning is a focus on sustainability, with a 50-cent discount to customers bringing their own cups.

"We only use biodegradable paper cups [and straws] because they have a corn starch lining rather than a plastic lining," Mr Hoffman said.

"We don't want to put too much crap in landfill that's going to take centuries to rot away."

Brewing a big future

The future is bright for these entrepreneurs who have big plans.

"My background is in hospitality training and part of me really misses that work," Ms Davidson said.

"We're hoping to bring barista training to remote areas of Australia or areas of high unemployment where people can get some skills and go out there and work in coffee shops, restaurants and bars.

"We may also look at franchising in the future, offering it to other young van lifers like us to grab a coffee van and see this awesome country."
