What types of commercial coffee makers are available?
KaTom offers many different types of commercial coffee makers, all of which have unique features that could fulfill a need for your business.
Automatic Machines: These brewers must be connected to a water supply with a direct line. These machines brew coffee with the touch of a button, reducing server trips and enabling them to spend more time with the guests.
Pourover Machines: These are very similar to automatic brewers, except they don't require a direct water line, meaning they can be easily relocated. Each time you want to brew a pot of coffee, however, users will need to manually pour water into the machine.
Airpot Models: If you need to brew a large quantity of coffee for later use, airpot coffee brewers are a great option. This type of unit brews coffee into an insulated dispenser, keeping coffee warm until it's served.
Urns and Percolators: These models are great for large parties or crowds. With some options holding more than 100 gallons, they ensure you have enough coffee for any size of gathering.
Single-cup Machines: If you need to make just one cup of coffee at a time, these are a great option. Single-cup machines are also very popular in lobbies, office buildings, and many other corporate settings. These products can be used with loose grounds or coffee pods and capsules.
Espresso Brewing Machines: If your goal is to create specialty coffee options for your menu, this kind of brewer is a must. These types of commercial coffee machines can make various drinks, such as lattes, cappuccinos, and Americanos.
Satellite Machines: Satellite units are great for those looking to brew coffee in one location and serve it in another. These machines brew coffee into containers that can then be stationed around the establishment to dispense coffee for your guests.
