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 literally off the street into your establishment for that perfect cup of finest coffee.

Did you know that the sense of smell develops in the womb and is the strongest human sense?  Use this as a weapon for your business!  Burn coffee beans in a pan and the fragrance will be detected out on the street and pull people in.  This is very powerful.

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 fulfill 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 machine could very well turn out to be a false economy.

You need to "size" your machine 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.

If coffee is your business, or a large part of it, then you'll want to chose one of the much bigger commercial coffee makers.  One that's capable of making more 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.

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 large or small scale then there are machines for that.  There are also specialist steam brew machines like the Krups Mocha Brew.  The items below illustrate these types of coffee maker.

Most offices and small coffee vendors will want to go with percolator filter coffee so it's these machines that we'll concentrate on here right now.  Below are a number of different options and accessories.  However on our other pages we have bigger machines right up to proper Barista espresso/cappuccino machines for full on coffe vending.

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 jug got smashed and you can't buy a new one.  See our parts, accessories and consumables page.  This is why it makes sense to purchase a well established brand, for example "Bunn" or "Cuisinart".
