What Coffee Machine Does Dunkin' Use For Fast Service?
Dunkin' has more than 14,000 locations around the globe that each sell an average of several hundred cups of coffee every day. So how does the popular chain make so much coffee? Its commercial drip coffee makers and super automatic espresso machines provide Dunkin's famed speed.
How Dunkin' Coffee Machines Work
The use of commercial drip coffee makers at Dunkin' starts with grinding beans. Employees use a separate coffee grinder to ensure the coffee grounds are as fresh as possible; they then transfer the grounds to a filter, which is placed in the funnel. With the push of the button, drip coffee starts to brew. The coffee is then poured into a decanter to be kept warm or moved to an ice-filled container for cold brew.
While traditional espresso machines are more complicated than drip coffee, super automatic machines, like those at Dunkin' Donuts, are easier to operate than semi-automatic or even fully automatic espresso makers. They take care of everything from grinding the beans to extracting the espresso from a mechanically pressed puck. All the employee must do is select the correct setting and manually steam milk if needed.

Commercial drip coffee makers and espresso machines help provide consistent results, ensuring a coffee shop can serve its community fresh coffee every day.

Both machines automate much of the coffee making process, helping employees to efficiently and quickly serve satisfying drinks.
