What Coffee Machine Does 7-Eleven Use?
7-Eleven was founded in Dallas, Texas, in 1927 and was known as the Southland Ice Company, selling ice, milk, bread, and other staples. The company later adopted the 7-Eleven name to reflect the store’s then-unusual operating hours of 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Today, the chain operates more than 86,000 stores worldwide, with coffee remaining one of its most popular offerings.
7-Eleven uses BUNN coffee machines for its traditional batch-brewed coffee. BUNN manufactures commercial coffee makers known for fast brew times, durable stainless steel internal tanks, and heavy-duty components built for high-volume use.
How Do Commercial Coffee Makers Work?
Many commercial coffee makers connect directly to a water line and use high-powered internal components to heat water and direct it through coffee grounds at a consistent temperature for high-volume service. Some BUNN models use an internal stainless steel hot water tank that keeps water heated and ready for brewing.
The brewed coffee is typically transferred to a server or dispensing station for self-service. Additional batches can be prepared throughout the day to accommodate changing demand. This process helps streamline operations, reduce manual tasks, and maintain coffee availability during peak business hours.
