☕🚙 Fuel your day with Diesel Bean at the Bathurst Country Affair! 🚙☕

Get ready for coffee with a serious sense of adventure! Diesel Bean is a family-run, overland-inspired coffee stand serving up exceptional craft coffee from the back of a classic Defender. Every cup is brewed by hand using cleverly adapted camping gear, proving that the best coffee is made off the beaten track.

Their legendary "Pick Your Leak" menu is guaranteed to make you smile (yes, they insist that "2-Stroke Oil" is perfectly drinkable! 😄), while the daring can indulge in one of their cheeky Dirty Diesel Coffee Cocktails. Order a "Rear Diff Delight" if you're brave enough!

Whether you are a flat white fanatic, espresso enthusiast, or simply looking for the most entertaining coffee stop at the festival, Diesel Bean is the place to refuel.

📍 Find them at the Bathurst Country Affair
🗓️ 28–30 August 2026
📍 Premier Cask & Cuisine Zone

Adventure is calling… and it smells like freshly brewed coffee! ☕🌿
