Industrial Coffee Machines - Can We Say Java, Java, Java?
If you have a business, you should invest in one of the number of industrial coffee machines available today. Coffee is a typical mainstay in the morning for many people. Probably every business and restaurant has at least one coffee maker on the premises.
Industrial coffee machines aren't your every day coffee maker; they are a powerhouse of energy and efficiency. They can make coffee quick and it's hot. Some machines are multi-functional in which they may have hot water dispensers or can make specialty coffees too. This article is to bring you up to date on what is available today in world of coffee for your office (or home).What's brewing?
There are a number of quality brands which offer a variety of machines that will meet the coffee needs of just about any office. Brands such as: Bunn, Classic Coffee Concepts, Curtis, Fetco, Grindmaster and Newco offer pourover brewers and carafe style units.
Just how much coffee do you need available each day? Will a typical 10-cup carafe suffice or do you need an insulated unit that can dispense over 600 cups every hour? The amount of coffee that is consumed on a daily basis will be the final determination of big of a machine you need.
How much?
Do you have an idea as to how much coffee your office uses every day? If so, you can get a ballpark figure of how big of a coffee machine you should have on staff. Below is a quick overview to give you an idea:
- 48 - 12ounce cups per hour = 4.5 gallons of coffee
- 119 - 12ounce cups per hour = 11.2 gallons of coffee
- 300 - 12ounce cups per hour = 28.2 gallons of coffee
The options available
You can choose a traditional looking machine with one carafe that will offer 10 to 12 cups per brew. The unit can be black or stainless steel. You could step up and opt for a unit that has one burner for a glass carafe and a stainless steel thermal server so there is coffee at the machine and you can take coffee into the meeting. There are even standalone industrial coffee machines that will brew and dispense coffee to appease everyone who walks through the door.
There are manual or programmable coffee machines available today and some even have a built-in grinder. One burner to six burners or one to two thermals/urns. All of the options keep the coffee hot at the source or while you are on the go.The smaller units require 110V while the larger industrial coffee machines need 220V to function. All have warmer, some even have an automatic refill option and the super-sized options can even have a half-batch brew feature. There is certainly a machine to fit anyone's needs.
Prices can range from around $100.00 to between three and $4,000.00 depending upon the brand and the features of the machine. Some fit neatly on the breakroom countertop while others require their own floor space. All are easy to use and offer coffee when its needed. The taste that comes from industrial coffee machines? That's depends upon the coffee that goes into the machine and the maintenance the machine receives of which both of these are another discussion.
