Commercial Coffee Maker

Gurgles, Burbles and whooshing noises are all things we associate with a commercial coffee maker.  And that's just the noises, the ensnaring aromas are often enough to entice people in literally off the street into your establishment for that perfect cup of finest coffee.

Such is the power of coffee it is vitally important to have a high quality commercial coffee maker, something that is robust enough to last a long time and something that is fast enough to allow you to fulfil all the orders before the spell is broken and your customers start to leave thirsty and annoyed.

The durability and the speed of your machine directly impacts your business' bottom line, depending on the exact nature of your business skimping on your coffee maker could very well turn out to be a false economy.

 You need to "size" your coffee maker appropriately for the size of business you have, if you're just doing coffee as a sideline in another business, eg. a book shop, then a one cup coffee maker might suffice but if coffee is your business or a large part of it then you'll want a much bigger machine, one that's capable of making one than one cup at a time and will hold enough hot water to go on making cups without having to wait for it to boil some more.

Then you need to decide if you want to offer cappuccino or not, if you do then you'll need a machine with a steam nozzle for frothing the milk.

If it's just instant coffee or similar you're providing a simple urn for hot water will be all you need, if you're doing filter coffee on a small scale then there are machines for that and for the same type of coffee on a larger scale.  The items below illustrate these types of commercial coffee maker.

Most offices and small coffee vendors will want to go with percolator coffee so it's these machines that we'll concentrate on here right now.  Below are a number of different options and accessories.  The availability of filters and replacement jugs is an important factor when considering a machine to buy.  You wouldn't want to have to throw away a perfectly good coffee maker because the jog got smashed and you can't buy a new one.
