Coffee Cabs (officially Coffee Audio, also known as Coffee Custom Cabs) is a Czech builder of guitar and bass speaker cabinets based in Klášterec nad Ohří. The brand was started by R. Kraus, who built the first cabinet — the Lungo 412 — in a friend's cellar using traditional woodworking techniques and a coffee burlap sack as grill cloth, which became the company's namesake aesthetic. After the prototype won a sound and design contest in Prague, Kraus began building cabinets commercially.
The lineup is themed around coffee drinks and split between guitar and bass models. Guitar cabs include the Ristretto 110, Mocha 112, Americano 210, Cappuccino 212, Latte 212/412, Lungo 412, and lighter Classic and Light series. Bass cabs include the Basspresso 610, Doppio Espresso 410, Jinjerbass 212, and Dark Roast 412. Construction uses 18mm Baltic birch plywood with thick multi-ply baffles set into grooves and finger-jointed cabinet walls, an approach the company markets as producing a tight, defined low end with the cabinet acting as a single rigid mass.
Coffee Audio operates on a custom-order model with various tolex and grill options, and also produces its own Karnivore-branded speakers. Signature and artist-spec models have been built for bassist Eugene Abdukhanov and guitarist Roman Ibramhalilov of Jinjer (the Jinjerbass 212 and Cappuccino 212), and the brand's roster includes producers and players such as Tue Madsen, Glenn Fricker, Henning Pauly, John Browne of Monuments, and Ryan 'Fluff' Bruce.
