Grindmaster Coffee Machines: What You Need to Know

Choosing the correct volume of coffee to brew maximizes profits and minimizes waste; for this reason, Grindmaster coffee makers come in a variety of sizes. A classic decanter brewer brews coffee into glass decanters in 10- or 12-cup batches. Excellent for mid-sized venues – especially those enabling customers to serve themselves – airpot and thermal gravity container brewers brew into insulated dispensers in batches from 2 to 3 liters. For the extra-high-volume brewing needs of hotels, commissaries, and other establishments, an AMW Banquet Grindmaster coffee machine can brew in batches as large as 120 gallons. We'll answer some key questions about Grindmaster brewers below to help you get the best fit for your business.

Common Questions About Grindmaster Coffee Makers

What's the difference between a decanter brewer and shuttle or airpot brewer?

Grindmaster coffee makers come in several styles, but the two most common are decanter brewers and shuttle or airpot brewers. Decanter brewers brew coffee into small, handheld pots called decanters; the traditional glass pot with a plastic handle that shows up in every movie diner is an example of this. Decanters are usually not insulated, and the coffee stored in them is meant to be served quickly. Decanter brewers usually have a warming function that will keep the coffee hot. Airpots, sometimes called shuttles or urns, are intended to be moved to serving locations away from the brewer. Shuttles are well insulated to keep the coffee hot over the serving period without a steady heat supply. Airpots are also much higher volume than decanters and as such are used in high-volume applications, such as hotels and event centers.

Why do I need a Grindmaster coffee maker?

Brewing coffee is easy, but brewing good coffee is hard. If you use a cheap coffee brewer like those your guests have at home, what reason do they have to buy coffee from you? A Grindmaster coffee brewer can hold the temperature of the brewing water to within one degree Fahrenheit, ensuring the water doesn't scald the beans and produce a bitter final product. Pulse brewing ensures every pinch of flavor is extracted from your coffee grounds, and automatic cycle settings can save you money on utilities and wasted coffee. If you want to offer premium coffee, a Grindmaster espresso brewer, such as the KORINTO PRIME, can produce high-quality espresso without needing specially trained operators.
