Automatic Coffee Makers: What You Need to Know
Automatic coffee makers connect directly to your kitchen's water supply, which means you don't need to transport large quantities of water when you want to brew a morning's worth of coffee. This feature can save your establishment hours of labor and ensure a fresh pot is always ready for your guests. Hotels, restaurants, and convention centers all make great use of these convenient coffee creators, but any establishment quickly needing a large amount of coffee can take advantage of the sizeable capacities and low labor costs that come with these machines. We offer a range of machines, from single brewers that handle 1.6 gallons per hour to workhorses that churn out 36 gallons per hour, so you can find a commercial automatic coffee machine designed to meet your needs.
Common Questions About Automatic Coffee Machines
Who needs a commercial automatic coffee machine?
These machines are made to save time in a busy commercial establishment by providing guests large quantities of hot coffee. Automatic versions hook directly into your establishment's water lines, so they don't require anyone to fill them up when you want to brew coffee – all the operator needs to do is put grounds in the brew basket and hit the brew button. This feature saves significant time in the brewing process, enabling a single operator to keep the coffee flowing while tending to a myriad of other required tasks. Hotels often look for automatic machines to produce sufficient coffee for large numbers of guests and minimize the labor required to make it. With accompanying coffee shuttles, one automatic coffee maker can serve several different stations, so all your guests can have access to hot, fresh coffee.
Operators serving large amounts of coffee should also consider getting an automated coffee maker. Breakfast spots, diners, and brunch restaurants all need copious amounts of coffee, and automated machines provide it without adding another task for the busy kitchen staff to complete.
Where can I install an automatic coffee machine?
Because automatic models require water hook-ups to function, you are limited in your installation locations. The machine must have access to your establishment's water system, so consult with building maintenance before making a purchase to ensure you have a suitable space to put it. Non-automatic models can be put anywhere you have an appropriate electrical outlet, but they will require water to be manually transported.
Why would I want a front-mounted faucet?
Many of our automated coffee machines come with a spout that dispenses hot or boiling water. This feature is handy if a customer orders a cup of hot chocolate or tea because operators can manually make a single serving of these beverages without having to stop making coffee. This saves time and keeps your more popular beverages flowing. If your establishment offers tea, hot chocolate, or other hot drinks that are ordered infrequently, a hot water faucet ensures you can quickly and conveniently fulfill those orders.
Will I need to buy decanters separately?
There are many different types of decanters and servers, so you might want to purchase a specific type to meet your needs. Some automated coffee makers do not come with decanters or servers at all, so you will have to purchase them separately. Check the product specifications page before making a purchase to see whether the item you're looking at comes with decanters.
