What Coffee Machine Does McDonald's Use?
McDonald's is the world's largest quick-service restaurant chain, operating in more than 45,000 locations worldwide. Its McCafé coffee program delivers value and a consistent product across locations, due in part to its use of Curtis coffee machines. Curtis brewing equipment is designed to provide reliable performance and consistent beverage quality while adapting to a range of service volumes and operational needs.
How Curtis Coffee Machines Work
Many Curtis commercial satellite coffee machines are plumbed directly to a water line and heat water in a large internal tank. Based on user input, the tank maintains consistent water temperature between 195 and 205 degrees Fahrenheit. Exact amounts of hot water flow through a specialized sprayhead over coffee grounds in a filter basket to extract coffee into an external thermal vessel or shuttle. These servers can keep coffee hot for hours without burning.
Satellite coffee machines can also streamline high-volume coffee production by brewing large batches directly into portable dispensers. For instance, coffee systems such as the Curtis G4GEMT10A1000 Gemini® G4 coffee brewer, can brew between 15 and 21 gallons per hour.
