Bravilor Bonamat Percolator 125 Large-Batch Coffee Brewer
£282.00(£338.40 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The Bravilor Bonamat Percolator 125 is a manual-fill, large-batch coffee brewer designed for operations that need to produce and hold significant volumes of filter coffee in a single brewing cycle. Water and coarse-ground coffee are added directly to the unit, which then brews through and automatically switches to a keep-warm mode once the cycle is complete. The stainless steel construction and moulded carry handles make it reasonably practical to move between service points when required.
In a catering environment, the Percolator 125 suits situations where coffee demand arrives in waves rather than as a continuous trickle — conference and events catering, staff canteens, hotel breakfast service, and hospitality suites being the most common applications. The keep-warm function means coffee remains at a consistent serving temperature throughout the service period, and the gauge glass allows front-of-house staff to monitor the remaining volume without lifting or disturbing the unit.
The practical advantages for operators centre on simplicity and throughput:
- A single large batch reduces the number of brewing cycles needed during a service period.
- Automatic keep-warm mode removes the need for active monitoring once brewing is complete.
- The stainless steel tap allows controlled dispensing without lifting the container.
- Gauge glass gives a clear visual indication of remaining coffee at a glance.
- Manual fill operation means no plumbing connection is required — straightforward to position and deploy.
Because the Percolator 125 is a manual-fill unit, it does need someone to fill and set it ahead of each service period. It is not suited to fully automated or unattended beverage stations, and the nature of batch brewing means the last cups served will have been held at temperature for longer than the first. For operations with very high or sustained continuous demand, a plumbed-in or fully automatic filter coffee system may be worth considering alongside this unit.
The Percolator 125 is well suited to event caterers, hospitality teams, and staff catering operations where large volumes of coffee are needed at set points in the day rather than on a continuous basis. It requires only a standard power supply and no water connection, which keeps setup simple. Sites needing to brew and hold larger quantities still, or those wanting fully automatic operation, may find a higher-capacity unit better fits their service pattern.
If you are unsure whether batch percolation suits your service style or volume, we are happy to talk through the options with you.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Percolator 125 suitable for continuous all-day coffee service?
The Percolator 125 is best suited to operations with defined service periods rather than continuous all-day demand — think conference breaks, breakfast service, or staff canteen lunches. It brews in batches and holds at temperature, so coffee quality will decline if held for extended periods. For continuous high-volume service, a plumbed-in automatic filter brewer would typically be a more practical choice.
Does this unit require a plumbed water connection or special electrical supply?
No plumbed water connection is needed — the Percolator 125 is filled manually, which keeps installation simple and gives you flexibility over where it is positioned. It runs from a standard mains power supply, so no specialist electrical work is required in most cases. It is worth confirming your available socket rating before purchase if you are running multiple appliances from the same circuit.
What type of coffee should be used, and does grind size matter?
The Percolator 125 is designed for use with coarse-ground coffee rather than espresso or fine filter grinds. Using too fine a grind can impede the percolation process and affect both flow rate and cup quality. Pre-ground catering-grade filter coffee sold for percolators or large-batch brewers is the most practical choice for consistent results in a busy service environment.
