You would also need to consider whether you could produce enough volume from said small machine to be viable. Most places where you would want to/could trade would have large footfall and if it was a small machine meaning long waiting times, people will not hang about.
I use food traders a fair bit through work, and there is nothing more frustrating from a customers perspective than when you have to queue for ages waiting for something, and nothing more frustrating from a client perspective of a trader running out of supplies half way through an event.
You would also need to consider there may be no water or electric available a pitch so you would need to factor this in.
Commercial coffee machines are seriously heavy, and most don't take kindly to being shifted about a lot, a big issue apart from strengthening the rear end would be how difficult it would be to ride it any distance at all.
I can imagine this becoming completely unsustainable quite quickly i.e. needing a van for all the supplies etc and the trike becomes a show piece.
