The Bravilor B20 L is a high-output bulk filter coffee brewer designed for operations that need to produce large volumes of coffee continuously and distribute it across several service points. It brews directly into a 20-litre double-walled electric VHG urn, which retains heat independently once filled. That urn can then be moved to a counter, kiosk, or remote service station while the brewer immediately begins the next batch — a straightforward arrangement that suits any site where coffee demand is sustained rather than occasional.
At around 90 litres per hour throughput, the B20 L is genuinely built for scale. Large staff canteens, conference and banqueting operations, stadium catering, festival sites, and event contractors working from a central production area are the natural fit. The built-in LCD display and coffee-ready indicator help service staff manage batch timing without having to monitor the machine constantly, which matters when they have other things to attend to during a busy service period.
From an operational standpoint, the batch-and-distribute model carries some clear practical advantages:
- Batch brewing from one machine reduces the labour and complexity of running multiple smaller units
- The mobile urn enables simultaneous multi-point service without additional brewing equipment at each station
- Double-walled urn construction holds temperature without continuous power at the point of service
- Programmable timer allows preparation ahead of peak demand periods
- Straightforward controls keep staff operation consistent across shifts
The B20 L requires a hardwired three-phase electrical connection and a direct mains water supply. This is not a plug-in unit — installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician and plumber before the machine can be commissioned. The footprint is substantial and the machine itself weighs 41kg, so placement needs to be planned with access routes for the urn in mind. It is designed for a dedicated back-of-house or servery position rather than a compact countertop setup.
This brewer is well suited to high-volume operations with predictable, sustained filter coffee demand — canteens regularly serving several hundred covers, venues running multi-point service, or catering contractors where output consistency across a long event period is a genuine requirement. For lower-volume sites, a smaller-batch brewer is likely a more proportionate choice. For operations where demand regularly exceeds what a single unit can deliver, it is worth discussing whether a different configuration would better match the throughput needed.
If you would like to talk through whether the B20 L is the right fit for your service volumes or site setup, the team is here to help before you place an order.

The Bravilor B10 R is a bulk coffee brewing system designed to produce large volumes of filter coffee in a single cycle, depositing directly into a 10-litre electric urn that detaches for service. Once the urn is removed and taken to the point of dispensing, the brew station is free to begin the next batch — a straightforward workflow that suits operations where demand arrives in volume rather than in a steady trickle.
In practice, the B10 R performs well in environments where coffee is needed in quantity across a concentrated window — staff canteens at shift changeover, conference breaks, hospitality suites on event days, and stadium catering all being common applications. The ability to keep one urn in service while another is filling means there is rarely a gap in availability, even when demand is at its sharpest. The built-in descale programme and brew-ready indicator reduce the supervisory burden, which matters when the staff managing coffee service are not dedicated to it.
From an operational standpoint, the practical advantages are:
- Detachable electric urn allows coffee to be dispensed away from the brew station
- Continuous batch output keeps service moving during high-demand periods
- Integrated descale programme supports consistent brew quality over time
- LCD display and brew-ready indicator reduce the need for staff supervision
- Separate hot water tap adds flexibility for mixed hot beverage service
The B10 R requires a hardwired single-phase mains connection and a direct plumbed water supply — it is not a pour-over or manually filled unit. Installation must be completed by a qualified electrician and plumber before the machine can be commissioned. The unit has a substantial footprint, so bench space, proximity to services, and access routes for the loaded urn should all be considered at the planning stage. The stainless steel construction handles the demands of a commercial environment well.
This machine is best suited to operations serving large numbers within tight time windows rather than venues with modest, spread-out coffee volumes. Smaller operations or those with lower throughput requirements may find a reduced-output brewer more economical to run and easier to manage. For sites where a single B10 R would be stretched to meet demand, a higher-capacity configuration is worth considering.
If you would like to talk through whether this unit is the right fit for your service volumes or site setup, the team is glad to help before you make a decision.
£3,458.00(£4,149.60 inc VAT)
The Bravilor B10 HW is a mains-fed, fixed-installation bulk filter coffee brewer designed for high-volume hospitality and catering operations. It brews into two 10-litre urns simultaneously, completing a full 20-litre batch in a single cycle, while an integrated base-mounted hot water tap runs alongside to support tea and other hot beverages from the same unit. Connected directly to mains water and a three-phase electrical supply, it operates continuously without manual refilling between batches.
In environments where large numbers of guests need to be served in a short window — conference centres, hotel banqueting, event catering, staff restaurants, and stadium hospitality — the B10 HW is built around that operational pressure. The three-phase supply allows the heating element to work at a rate that supports genuine throughput demand, and because the urns are portable, they can be transported to remote serving points such as kiosks, breakout areas, or service booths while brewing continues back of house.
Practical benefits for operators include:
- Large-batch brewing significantly reduces staff intervention during peak service
- Portable urns allow coffee to be served away from the fixed installation point
- Integrated hot water tap consolidates tea and coffee service into one unit
- Built-in timer supports scheduled brewing ahead of service periods
- Coffee-ready indicator helps staff manage service timing with confidence
Installation requires hardwiring to a three-phase mains supply and a direct plumbed water connection — this is not a plug-and-play appliance. The unit is substantial in both size and weight, so access routes and final positioning should be confirmed well before delivery. A qualified electrician and a plumber will both be required for commissioning. Sites with single-phase power only are not compatible with this machine.
The B10 HW is well suited to operators with genuinely high filter coffee demands across a short service window. For lower-volume sites or locations limited to single-phase power, a smaller brewer is likely a more practical fit. For operations running continuous high-output service across multiple points, it is worth discussing whether a heavier-duty configuration would better suit your volumes.
If you would like to talk through whether the B10 HW is the right match for your site — including power supply, installation requirements, or expected service volumes — the team is happy to work through the detail with you before you place an order.
£2,575.00(£3,090.00 inc VAT)
The Bravilor Bonamat B5 HWR is a plumbed-in bulk filter coffee brewer that combines a continuous-brew unit with a 5-litre insulated urn and an integrated hot water tap. Rather than managing separate appliances, operators have a single fixed installation capable of supplying both brewed filter coffee and hot water throughout service — a practical arrangement where counter space and service continuity both matter.
In high-volume environments such as large staff restaurants, conference centres, stadium concourses, and theatre interval bars, the B5 HWR is built to hold its own through sustained demand. Coffee is held at serving temperature in the insulated urn while the next batch is already in production, which keeps the supply relatively uninterrupted without requiring staff to monitor every brew cycle. The integrated hot water tap handles additional beverage requirements at the same station, reducing the number of appliances operators need to run and maintain.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the key advantages are:
- Continuous brewing cycle maintains coffee availability without gaps during peak service
- Integrated hot water tap removes the need for a separate boiler at the station
- Plumbed-in water supply eliminates manual refilling throughout service
- Insulated urn holds serving temperature without a separate heating plate
- Simple controls reduce training overhead and the risk of service errors
The B5 HWR is a hardwired, plumbed installation — it is not plug-and-play. It requires a three-phase electrical connection and a direct mains water supply at appropriate pressure. Installation by a qualified electrician and plumber is essential before the unit can be used. Allow adequate worktop depth and clearance above the unit for filter changes and routine maintenance. The urn can be detached from the brewer and transported to a serving point, which suits venues that brew centrally and serve at a distance from the production area.
This brewer is well suited to operations serving several hundred covers per session where coffee demand is consistent and volume is genuinely high. Smaller or more intermittent operations may find the output exceeds their needs, and a lower-capacity plumbed brewer would likely be a better match. Very large multi-outlet sites or those with substantially higher throughput requirements may want to explore heavier-duty configurations before committing.
If you are weighing up whether the B5 HWR is the right fit for your service volumes or installation setup, our team is happy to talk through the options with you.
£3,618.00(£4,341.60 inc VAT)
The Bravilor B20 is a high-output bulk filter coffee brewer designed for operations that need to produce large volumes of fresh filter coffee consistently and move it quickly to wherever it is needed. It brews directly into double-walled electric VHG urns — two urns, each holding 20 litres — which can then be transported to serving points, kiosks, or concession counters, making the B20 a practical solution wherever coffee needs to reach multiple locations from a single centralised brew point.
In service, the B20's output supports continuous back-to-back brewing during peak periods. A full 20-litre urn is ready in approximately 14 minutes at full throughput, which means a well-organised team can maintain supply without significant gaps even during sustained demand — the kind of demand encountered at large banqueting functions, busy stadium concessions, or event catering where hundreds of covers are served within a short window. The three-phase electrical supply the machine requires is what enables that level of output, and electrical infrastructure needs to be confirmed before the unit is ordered.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the B20 offers several practical advantages for teams managing volume coffee service:
- LCD display and clear controls reduce the training burden on service staff
- Coffee-ready indicator removes guesswork during back-to-back brewing cycles
- Integrated timer supports planned production ahead of busy service periods
- Double-walled urns retain heat during transport and extended service
- Centralised brew point simplifies workflow across multiple serving locations
Installation requires hardwiring to a three-phase mains supply and a direct plumbed water connection — this is not a pour-over machine and it cannot be run from a standard socket. At 55kg, access routes and final positioning need to be considered in advance, and the installation itself should be carried out by a qualified engineer. This unit is intended strictly for commercial use, and the warranty terms reflect that.
The B20 is well suited to large hospitality venues, staff canteens, event and outside catering operations, and stadium or arena concessions where filter coffee output needs to be measured in tens of litres per service rather than individual cups. For sites with more modest throughput requirements, a lower-capacity model is likely a better fit. For very large-scale or near-continuous operations, it is worth discussing whether a higher-output configuration would serve the site more effectively.
If you are weighing up whether this machine suits your site's infrastructure or service volumes, our team is glad to talk it through with you before anything is committed.
£596.00(£715.20 inc VAT)
The Bravilor VHG20 is a 20-litre insulated coffee container designed to work in conjunction with the Bravilor Bonamat B20 bulk brewer. Once coffee is brewed, it transfers into the VHG20, which holds it at a consistent serving temperature using a built-in electric heating element and double-walled insulation. The container is portable, allowing teams to brew in one location and serve in another — a practical arrangement where the brew point and service point are not the same.
In busy service environments, the ability to decouple brewing from serving is often essential. The VHG20 holds enough volume to support extended service runs without frequent trips back to the brew station, helping to maintain flow during functions. The combination of passive insulation and active heating means coffee quality is sustained over time, rather than degrading as it would in a simple flask or unheated urn.
- Maintains brewed coffee at a consistent serving temperature throughout service
- Portable design separates the brew point from the service point
- Double-walled insulation reduces heat loss between heating cycles
- Well suited to banqueting trolleys, hospitality suites, and buffet-style service
- Straightforward to clean between services
The VHG20 requires a standard mains power connection for the heating element. At 9kg empty, it is manageable when handled carefully, but once filled the weight increases significantly — trolley availability and access routes are worth thinking through if the container will be moved regularly over distance or between floors.
This container is best suited to operations already running the Bravilor B20 brewer that need a reliable way to hold and serve large volumes of coffee away from the brew station. It is a practical choice for event caterers, hotels, and contract catering teams. For lower-volume sites or where portability is less of a priority, a smaller or simpler unit may be more appropriate. For operations running multiple B20 units at high throughput, it is worth discussing whether a different holding arrangement would serve better.
If you would like to talk through whether the VHG20 fits your service setup or check compatibility with your existing equipment, our team is glad to help.
£2,181.00(£2,617.20 inc VAT)
The Bravilor Bonamat B10 L is a high-output bulk filter coffee brewing system designed to fill a portable 10-litre electric urn that can then be taken to wherever service is taking place. Rather than tying coffee production to a single fixed service point, the B10 L decouples brewing from service — the urn can be moved to a hospitality suite, interval kiosk, conference break station, or remote catering counter while the brewer continues producing the next batch back at the installation point.
This approach makes the B10 L particularly well suited to concentrated demand windows. Theatres, sports grounds, conference centres, wedding receptions, and large cafeteria operations commonly use this type of equipment because it keeps coffee flowing during peak periods without stationing staff permanently at the brewer. The double-wall insulated urn maintains temperature for extended periods once filled, which is useful when serving from locations without a convenient power outlet for the urn itself — although the electric element in the urn can be used where supply is available to maintain temperature over longer service runs.
Practical operational advantages include:
- Portable urn allows service well away from the fixed brewing installation
- Continuous output keeps pace with interval and break-period demand spikes
- Double-wall insulation maintains serving temperature during transport and service
- Stainless steel construction throughout meets commercial hygiene standards
- Consistent brew quality maintained across high-volume, repeated batch production
The B10 L requires a three-phase electrical supply and must be hardwired — it cannot be connected to a standard socket. It also requires a direct mains water connection. Both requirements mean a qualified electrician and plumber must commission the unit before it can be used. This is not a plug-and-play machine, and installation costs and lead time should be factored into planning from the outset. The unit weighs 35kg, so access and positioning should be confirmed before delivery. Delivery is to commercial addresses only.
The B10 L is best matched to high-footfall venues and event catering operations where large batches of coffee are needed at defined service windows. It is less well suited to operations requiring steady, lower-volume all-day brewing, where a smaller filter system would be more practical and more economical to run. For sites with significantly higher throughput demands, heavier-duty bulk brewing options are available within the range.
If you want to talk through whether the B10 L is the right fit for your service volumes or have questions about the installation requirements, the team is glad to work through it with you before you commit.
£3,735.00(£4,482.00 inc VAT)
The Bravilor B40 R is a bulk filter coffee brewer designed for operations where demand is continuous and volume is the primary concern. It pairs with a 40-litre double-walled insulated urn that sits alongside the machine and can be detached and transported once brewing is complete. The urn is plug-in electric, so it maintains coffee at serving temperature independently of the brewing unit — a practical arrangement where the point of service is physically separate from the brewing station.
In high-volume environments — stadium concourses, arena kiosks, conference centres, racecourse hospitality, and large event catering — the combination of sustained brewing output and a portable self-heating urn allows service staff to maintain flow at a remote position without repeatedly returning to a fixed plumbing point. Recovery between batches is consistent, and the machine is built for the prolonged, repetitive use that comes with all-day or multi-session events rather than the lighter intermittent demand of a standard hospitality setting.
Practical advantages for operators include:
- Detachable urn allows coffee service to operate independently from the brewing unit
- Double-walled insulation holds temperature without continuous reheating at the serving point
- Consistent output across extended service periods reduces staff pressure during peak demand
- Plug-in urn connection simplifies deployment at remote kiosks or service counters
- Well suited to batched brewing workflows where large volumes are prepared ahead of service
Installation requires careful planning. The B40 R runs on a three-phase electrical supply and requires a direct mains water connection — neither can be improvised on site. Hardwiring by a qualified electrician is necessary; a plug-and-socket connection is not appropriate at this output level. At 59kg, the combined weight of the unit and a full urn places meaningful demands on any counter or surface, so load capacity should be confirmed before installation. Once plumbed and wired, this is not a machine that can be repositioned easily, so placement decisions need to be made at the outset.
The B40 R is best suited to large venues and event caterers operating at genuine scale. For smaller hospitality operations or restaurants with moderate coffee demand, a lower-output machine would be a more practical and cost-effective fit. For sites running multiple simultaneous service points, it is worth considering whether additional units or a different configuration would better match the operational workflow.
If you are working through the logistics of a machine at this level — whether that is power supply, counter loading, or deployment across an event site — the team is happy to talk it through before you commit to anything.
£2,766.00(£3,319.20 inc VAT)
The Bravilor Bonamat B10 is a continuous-brew filter coffee system built for high-volume environments where large quantities of coffee need to be produced reliably and moved to service points without interrupting the brewing cycle. It brews directly into two 10-litre stainless steel urns, both included as standard, so freshly made coffee can be transported to front-of-house or remote serving areas as soon as a batch is complete.
In sustained-demand settings, the urn format is what makes this machine practical. Staff can rotate vessels — one in service while the other fills — maintaining consistent availability across extended periods without waiting for individual batches to clear. This makes the B10 a natural fit for stadiums, conference centres, large staff canteens, event catering operations, and mass hospitality services where throughput matters more than portion-by-portion control.
The digital control panel keeps operation straightforward for front-line staff. A coffee-ready indicator, daily and cumulative brew counters, and a descale notification all help reduce service errors and support basic maintenance discipline without requiring technical knowledge.
- Two 10-litre urns support continuous rotation across multiple service points
- Digital panel with brew counter and descale alert aids consistent daily operation
- Stainless steel construction handles the demands of commercial environments
- Single-phase supply avoids the need for three-phase electrical infrastructure
- Direct-plumb water connection supports uninterrupted high-volume output
The B10 requires a hardwired mains connection and a direct plumbed water supply — it is not a plug-and-play appliance. Both electrical capacity and water line access need to be confirmed before installation. At 47kg, the machine is intended as a fixed installation, so location planning and access for servicing are worth considering at the outset.
This brewer is well suited to operators serving large covers who need a dependable, high-output filter coffee solution without the complexity of espresso infrastructure. It is not designed for smaller cafés, sites where individual portion control is important, or operations primarily serving espresso-based drinks. For lower-throughput sites, a smaller bulk brewer is likely more appropriate; for very high-volume or multi-station operations, it is worth discussing whether a higher-capacity setup would serve better.
If you would like to talk through whether the B10 suits your service volumes and installation setup, our team is happy to help before you make a decision.
£2,724.00(£3,268.80 inc VAT)
The Bravilor Bonamat B10 is a high-output bulk filter coffee brewer designed for continuous, high-volume service. It brews directly into two 10-litre VHG insulated urns that can be removed from the machine and transported independently to service points. This makes it particularly practical where coffee is produced centrally and served remotely — banqueting suites, conference venues, stadium concourses, and large institutional canteens are all common applications.
In service, the B10 is built to sustain output across extended periods of demand. The three-phase electrical supply supports the heating capacity required to brew at scale, reducing the recovery delays that can affect single-phase machines under sustained load. With two urns in rotation — one in service while the second is brewing — throughput stays consistent during peak periods without interruption to service.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the B10 is straightforward to manage during a busy service:
- Digital control panel with real-time status feedback reduces guesswork during service
- Coffee-ready indicator allows staff to manage urn dispatch without checking manually
- Descale notification helps protect the heating system and maintain brew quality
- Day and total coffee counters support stock management and portion monitoring
- Stainless steel construction throughout is durable and easy to keep clean
The B10 requires a hardwired three-phase electrical connection and a direct mains water supply — this is not a plug-in appliance, and installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician and plumber before first use. At 47kg, it is a substantial piece of equipment, so siting and access should be factored in during planning. It is designed for back-of-house or production area positioning rather than front-of-house placement.
The B10 is well suited to operations that need to produce large quantities of filter coffee reliably across a service period — catering contractors, event and hospitality venues, large staff restaurants, and institutional catering operations are all typical users. For smaller operations with lower output requirements, a single-phase or reduced-capacity brewer would be more appropriate. For sites with considerably higher demand or multiple simultaneous service points, it is worth exploring whether additional units or a different configuration would serve the operation better.
If you would like to talk through whether the B10 fits your site layout and service volumes before making a decision, the team is available to help.
£2,979.00(£3,574.80 inc VAT)
The Bravilor Bonamat B5 HW is a mains-fed bulk coffee brewer designed for venues that need to produce and hold large volumes of coffee consistently across a service period. It brews directly into two supplied 5-litre vacuum-insulated urns, which can be sealed and carried to service points away from the machine. A built-in hot water tap provides an additional output for teas and other hot beverages from the same unit, removing the need for a separate boiler at that position.
In practice, the B5 HW earns its place through throughput and holding capacity rather than theatrics. With an output of 30 litres per hour, a full urn can be ready in around ten minutes — a rate that keeps pace with morning rushes and buffet-style service without operators needing to watch over the machine. Because the urns retain temperature independently, coffee can be brewed in advance and positioned where it is needed, which gives genuine flexibility in how service is laid out. This pattern works well in hotels, conference centres, staff restaurants, and event catering operations where the service point is often some distance from the kitchen.
- 30-litre hourly output supports continuous service through peak demand
- Portable vacuum urns allow coffee to be served away from the fixed machine
- Integrated hot water tap provides a second beverage output from one unit
- Consistent brew quality across large volumes with minimal operator involvement
- Single-phase supply means no three-phase infrastructure is required on site
The B5 HW is a plumbed, hardwired machine — it requires a direct mains water connection and a hardwired electrical supply. Installation will need a qualified electrician and plumber, and the footprint is substantial enough that bench or floor positioning should be planned properly before the unit arrives. This is not a machine to fill manually or plug into a standard socket, so confirming the site has the right services in place before ordering is important.
This brewer is well suited to venues serving 50 or more covers at a sitting, or any operation running self-serve coffee stations where holding capacity and portability matter. For smaller operations with lower volume requirements, a standard countertop filter brewer is likely more proportionate. For very high-demand sites running multiple concurrent service points, it is worth considering whether a higher-capacity bulk system would serve better.
If you would like to talk through whether the B5 HW is the right fit for your service volume and site setup, the team is happy to help before you make a decision.
£3,447.00(£4,136.40 inc VAT)
The Bravilor Bonamat B20 HWL is a three-phase bulk filter coffee brewer designed for operations that need to produce large quantities of fresh coffee consistently and quickly. It brews directly into a double-walled 20-litre electric urn, which holds coffee at serving temperature and can be detached and transported to service points away from the brew station. A dedicated hot water tap operates alongside the brewing function, delivering a continuous supply of boiling water for teas and other hot beverages without interrupting the brew cycle.
In practice, this machine is well suited to environments where demand peaks sharply and there is little room for gaps in supply. Conference centres, contract catering operations, staff restaurants, event venues, and large hospitality sites are typical settings. Because coffee can be brewed in advance and held at temperature in the insulated urn, it is possible to prepare ahead of a service period and reduce pressure on the beverage station during the busiest periods. The simultaneous hot water output means a full hot drinks station can run from a single unit rather than requiring a separate boiler.
Key operational advantages include:
- Large-batch brewing reduces the number of brew cycles needed across a service
- Double-walled urn retains heat without continuous power draw once removed from the base
- Hot water tap and brewing function run simultaneously from one machine
- Detachable urn allows coffee to be served directly at the point of consumption
- Straightforward controls support consistent operation across different staff members
The B20 HWL requires a hardwired three-phase electrical connection and a direct mains water supply. It is not suitable for plug-in installation or manual-fill counter use. The weight and footprint mean it needs a stable, dedicated position with enough clearance to remove and replace the urn safely. Installation should be completed by a qualified electrician and plumber before the machine is commissioned. It is supplied for commercial use only, and the warranty terms reflect that.
This machine makes most sense for high-volume catering operations where filter coffee is produced in bulk, served regularly, and often at points away from a fixed counter. The installation requirements and output capacity are unlikely to be justified by low or occasional use — for smaller operations, a lower-capacity brewer would be a more practical fit. For very large or multi-station sites, it is worth considering whether a single unit is sufficient or whether a staged approach would better match service demand.
If you would like to talk through whether the B20 HWL suits your setup — particularly around the electrical supply requirements or how the urn would work within your service flow — the team is happy to help before you make a decision.
£1,851.00(£2,221.20 inc VAT)
The Bravilor B5 L is a mains-connected bulk coffee brewer that brews roast-and-ground coffee directly into a 5-litre double-walled vacuum urn. Once brewing is complete, the urn detaches from the machine and can be moved to wherever service is happening — a buffet counter, a hospitality point, a boardroom, or a separate service area entirely. It is a format built around the practical reality that the place coffee is brewed and the place it is served are often not the same.
The urn itself is not a passive flask. It includes an integrated electrical heating element that maintains coffee at serving temperature once it reaches the service point, which means quality holds across a full service period rather than declining in a static container. The double-walled construction limits heat loss and helps preserve the aromatic character of a fresh brew — an important consideration when you are serving ground coffee rather than a bean-to-cup product.
From a daily operations standpoint, the B5 L includes several features that support consistent, manageable service:
- Detachable heated urn allows coffee to be served away from the brewing unit
- LCD display with day and total brew counters supports stock control and usage tracking
- Integrated timer allows brewing to be scheduled ahead of service periods
- Built-in descale programme simplifies routine maintenance
- Brew-ready signal helps front-of-house staff manage replenishment timing
The B5 L requires a mains water connection and a single-phase electrical supply — it is not a plumb-free machine, and installation should account for both the water feed and drainage from the brew cycle. The unit should be positioned on a stable, level surface with enough clearance to lift and move the urn safely during service. At 19kg, the brewer is manageable for a fixed countertop position, but the workflow of moving a filled urn should be considered when planning placement.
This brewer is well suited to hotels, conference and event venues, staff restaurants, and any operation running a self-service or buffet coffee station where ground coffee quality matters and the serving point is separate from the back-of-house brewing location. For operations running longer service windows with multiple urns in simultaneous circulation, or where output demand is considerably higher, it is worth considering whether a higher-capacity model would better match the pace of service.
If you would like to talk through whether the B5 L fits your service setup and volumes before ordering, the team is glad to help.
£3,458.00(£4,149.60 inc VAT)
The Bravilor B10 HW is a bulk filter coffee brewer designed for commercial operations where large volumes of coffee must be produced quickly and served consistently across multiple points. It brews directly into two detachable 10-litre urns, giving a combined output of 20 litres per cycle. A hot water tap built into the base allows operators to serve teas and other hot beverages from the same installation, reducing the need for additional equipment on the counter.
In practice, the B10 HW is built around a simple but effective operational principle: the machine keeps brewing while the urns are already on the floor being served. Once a batch is complete, the urns detach and can be transported to buffet stations, hospitality suites, kiosks, or breakout areas. A fresh brew can begin immediately, keeping supply continuous without front-of-house staff needing to wait at the machine. For breakfast services, conference catering, or wedding banquets where coffee demand arrives in concentrated bursts, this separation of production from service is a genuine operational advantage.
Day-to-day, the machine offers a number of practical benefits:
- LCD display with coffee-ready indicator keeps service staff informed at a glance
- Integrated timer allows brewing to be programmed ahead of a service period
- Detachable urns enable service away from the fixed installation point
- Hot water tap consolidates tea and coffee service into a single unit
- Stainless steel construction supports hygiene standards and withstands heavy daily use
Installation requires a direct plumbed water supply and a hardwired electrical connection — this is not a pour-over or tank-fill machine. It should be positioned close to suitable plumbing and electrical provisions, and installation ought to be carried out by qualified trades. At 47kg, the unit is substantial, so bench load capacity and access for routine servicing are worth confirming before deciding on a location.
The B10 HW is well suited to hotels, contract caterers, event and conference venues, and hospitality operations that need to produce filter coffee at volume and serve it across different locations simultaneously. It is less appropriate for a small counter-service café where a compact single-station brewer would be more proportionate. For very high-volume sites running continuous concurrent sessions, a higher-capacity setup may be worth exploring.
If you are assessing whether this machine fits your service model or want to talk through the installation requirements for your site, our team is glad to help you work through it before you proceed.

The Bravilor B10 L is a mains-plumbed bulk filter coffee brewer that brews directly into a 10-litre double-wall insulated urn. The urn is portable — once filled, it detaches from the brew station and can be moved to wherever service is happening. For operations that need to deliver large quantities of fresh filter coffee quickly, hold it at temperature, and do so repeatedly across a shift, this is a well-established and practical solution.
In a busy service environment, the B10 L is capable of producing a full 10-litre batch in roughly ten minutes, giving a sustained throughput of around 60 litres per hour. That output makes it genuinely useful during compressed service windows — hotel breakfast service, conference and event breaks, theatre and sports venue intervals, and similar situations where filter coffee must be ready in quantity and on time. The urn's insulated construction keeps coffee at a consistent temperature away from the brewer without continuing to heat it on a hotplate, which protects both flavour and quality during extended holds.
Key operational advantages include:
- Rapid 10-litre brew cycle suited to timed, high-volume service bursts
- Detachable urn allows coffee to be served away from the fixed brew point
- Double-wall insulation maintains serving temperature without a hotplate
- Stainless steel construction is durable and straightforward to clean
- Single-phase electrical supply simplifies installation compared to three-phase equipment
The B10 L requires both a hardwired mains electrical connection and a direct plumbed water supply — it cannot run from a plug socket or a manually filled reservoir. Installation must be planned in advance and carried out by a qualified electrician and plumber. At 35kg, the machine is substantial and needs a stable, dedicated worksurface with access to both services. The urn positions to the left of the brewer, so adequate bench clearance on that side should be factored into the layout before installation.
This brewer is well suited to hotels, event catering operations, venues, institutional catering, and workplace hospitality where filter coffee is served in volume during defined service periods. It is less suited to small independent cafés or settings where espresso-based drinks are the primary offer. For sites with very high sustained demand or multiple simultaneous service points, a larger-capacity or multi-station bulk brew setup may be worth considering.
If you are working through whether the B10 L matches your service volumes or fits your site layout, the team is happy to talk through the options with you before you make a decision.
£3,011.00(£3,613.20 inc VAT)
The Bravilor Bonamat Sego 12 is a fully automatic bean-to-cup coffee machine designed for hospitality and commercial environments where consistent quality and ease of use matter. It operates from whole beans and instant ingredient canisters, handling grinding, brewing, and milk-based drinks without requiring skilled staff to operate it. With up to 30 pre-programmed drink options — including espresso, Americano, cappuccino, latte macchiato, and coffee crème — it covers most menu requirements without customisation work at the point of service.
The machine uses Bravilor's CIRCO-brewer, which adjusts pressure and extraction time automatically for each drink type. In practice, this means output remains consistent across a service period, whether the machine is producing its first drink of the morning or its fiftieth. Recovery between drinks is managed internally, so operators do not need to monitor or intervene during normal service. The fingerprint-resistant stainless steel exterior also holds up well in environments where the machine is in public view — hotel lobbies, breakout areas, and front-of-house counters included.
From an operational standpoint, the Sego 12 offers several practical advantages:
- Touchscreen colour display keeps operation straightforward for untrained staff or self-serve guests
- Automatic cleaning and descaling cycles reduce daily maintenance demands
- Energy-saving mode manages power consumption during quiet periods
- Individual drink customisation (grind, temperature, ratio, cup size) allows menu flexibility
- Compact footprint suits counter space where larger machines are impractical
Installation is included with this listing. The machine runs from a standard 13A connection at 2.19kW, so no specialist electrical supply is typically required. A mains water connection is recommended for consistent operation, and Bravilor strongly advises the use of an inline water filter — scale damage falls outside the warranty terms, so this is worth factoring into the installation plan from the outset. The unit weighs 30kg, so counter strength and access for positioning should be checked beforehand.
The Sego 12 is well suited to hotels serving breakfast, conference and training venues, offices with moderate coffee demand, and pub or bar environments where a manageable drink range is preferred over a fully staffed coffee bar. It is not designed for high-throughput café environments where a traditional espresso machine and dedicated barista would be the more appropriate route. For sites needing significantly higher output or a wider simultaneous drink capacity, a larger automatic machine from the Bravilor range may be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether the Sego 12 is the right fit for your site — in terms of volume, plumbing setup, or counter position — we are happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.
£516.00(£619.20 inc VAT)
The Bravilor Bonamat WHK is a freestanding, countertop cup warmer designed to hold espresso cups at a stable serving temperature ahead of and throughout service. Three stainless steel shelves accommodate up to 120 cups in total, giving front-of-house and barista teams a reliable supply of pre-warmed cups without interrupting workflow at the machine.
In a busy espresso operation, serving into a cold cup causes measurable heat loss within seconds and undermines crema stability from the moment of pour. The WHK maintains cups within a consistent temperature range — tight enough to protect both drink quality and presentation across a full service period, not just the opening hour.
One of the more useful operational features is the independent shelf controls. During quieter periods, operators can run one or two shelves rather than all three, reducing energy draw without compromising readiness when demand picks up again. Practical day-to-day advantages include:
- Independent shelf controls allow energy use to be matched to service demand
- Stainless steel shelves and casing are quick to wipe down between service periods
- Dark grey finish integrates cleanly with most commercial espresso machine setups
- Consistent output temperature protects drink quality across back-to-back service
The WHK requires only a standard mains electrical connection and a clear area of worksurface. At 10kg it is straightforward to reposition, and the footprint is compact enough to sit alongside or above most commercial espresso machine configurations without dominating the counter.
This unit is a practical fit for independent cafés, hotel breakfast and lobby operations, and restaurant pass areas with a steady throughput of espresso-based drinks. For sites running continuous high-volume output across multiple group heads, it is worth considering whether a larger warming capacity would better match demand.
If you'd like to talk through whether the WHK suits your service volume or counter setup, the team is happy to help before you commit to an order.

1.7Ltr | 59 3/4oz Glass coffee jug to fit Bravilor coffee machine.
£183.00(£219.60 inc VAT)
The Buffalo Filter Coffee Maker is a counter-top brewer designed for front-of-house use in cafés, pubs, hotels and similar hospitality venues. It brews fresh filter coffee into a glass jug, which rests on a built-in hot plate that keeps the coffee at a consistent serving temperature between pours. The unit is manually filled, so there is no plumbing requirement — it plugs into a standard outlet and is ready to use straight away.
For service points where coffee is an accompaniment to food rather than the primary product, this kind of machine works well. It produces a consistent brew at a reliable pace and, because it operates from the counter and serves direct from the jug, the workflow is straightforward for front-of-house staff. The stainless steel finish holds up to regular wiping down and presents tidily in a customer-facing setting.
The main operational advantages are simplicity and a low maintenance overhead:
- No plumbing required — plug-in operation from a standard socket
- Built-in hot plate keeps brewed coffee at serving temperature without extra equipment
- Stainless steel construction wipes down easily and suits front-of-house display
- Manual fill keeps the unit self-contained and straightforward to reposition
- Compact footprint suits most service counters without significant space commitment
Because this is a single-jug, manual-fill brewer, it is best suited to venues with steady but moderate coffee demand. A high-footfall café running continuous service throughout the day would likely benefit from a higher-capacity or plumbed-in machine. For hotel breakfast service, pub lunch trade or a small café with manageable throughput, it fits the role well.
If you would like to talk through whether this unit suits your expected service volumes or counter arrangement, the team is glad to help before you place an order.
£10.56(£12.67 inc VAT)
The tablet form also enables consistent and controlled dosing - helping to prevent wastage or operator error when maintaining your machines.
£170.00(£204.00 inc VAT)
The Buffalo Manual Fill Filter Coffee Machine is a plumbing-free filter coffee brewer designed for operators who need reliable hot coffee service without access to a fixed water supply. The principle is straightforward: fill the reservoir by hand, and the machine heats the water and passes it through a ground coffee basket into a serving jug below. No water line, no drainage connection, no installation work required.
In practice, this makes the machine well suited to event catering rigs, hospitality suites, waiting rooms, and smaller hotel operations where either the infrastructure isn't available or the setup needs to move between locations. The two-litre reservoir supports steady service at moderate volumes, and a top-mounted warming plate allows a second jug to be held at serving temperature alongside the brewing cycle, which helps maintain flow without staff having to manage timing closely.
The practical advantages that matter most in these settings are:
- No plumbing or drainage needed — fills manually and relocates without restriction
- Top warming plate keeps a second jug ready at serving temperature
- Stainless steel construction meets commercial hygiene requirements
- Compact footprint suits tight counter space in temporary or mobile setups
- Simple operation requires very little staff training
It is worth being straightforward about the limitations. This is not a machine for continuous high-volume service — a busy café or restaurant running back-to-back covers would need a plumbed, higher-capacity solution. The two-litre capacity suits moderate throughput, and operators expecting sustained demand across a full service period should consider a heavier-duty alternative.
If you are weighing up whether this capacity suits your expected volume, or deciding between a manual-fill and a plumbed solution, the team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.
£262.00(£314.40 inc VAT)
The Buffalo Airpot Filter Coffee Maker is a compact, stainless steel brewed coffee unit designed for front-of-house service points where a steady supply of filter coffee needs to be available throughout a service period. It brews directly into a 2.3 litre airpot, which retains heat through insulation rather than a hotplate — meaning coffee stays warm without the risk of scorching or over-cooking that jug-and-hotplate systems can introduce over time.
In a working environment, the unit holds up well against moderate, sustained demand. The brew cycle is quick enough to replenish the airpot between service waves without keeping guests waiting, and the airpot itself can be removed from the machine and taken directly to a table, buffet station, or meeting room — a practical advantage over fixed-jug machines. It is worth being clear about its place in a service operation: this is a filter coffee machine suited to consistent brewed coffee service, not an espresso or bean-to-cup setup.
The practical benefits of the airpot format are worth noting:
- Coffee stays warm without a heating element drying it out or scorching the pot
- The portable airpot can be used away from the machine at any service point
- Auto-fill suits plumbed installations; manual fill works where plumbing is not available
- Stainless steel construction cleans easily and stands up to daily use
For auto-fill operation, a mains cold water connection is required alongside a standard electrical socket. Manual fill removes the plumbing requirement entirely, which makes the unit a practical option for event catering or temporary setups. The footprint is modest and the unit is light enough to reposition without difficulty.
This machine is well suited to hotels, conference centres, offices, and catering operations running buffet or self-serve coffee service. For venues with higher throughput, multiple service points running simultaneously, or a need for larger-volume brewing, it is worth considering a higher-capacity unit before committing to this one.
If you are weighing up whether this suits your expected volume or have questions about the plumbing requirements, we are happy to talk it through.
£322.00(£386.40 inc VAT)
The De'Longhi Gran Latissima EN640 is a Nespresso-compatible pod coffee machine designed for convenient, consistent coffee preparation. It operates on the Nespresso capsule system and includes an integrated milk system capable of producing three adjustable milk-based recipes — Latte Macchiato, Cappuccino, and Macchiato — alongside a broader selection of up to nine drink options accessible via the control panel. The machine heats up quickly and includes an easy-rinse milk circuit to simplify cleaning after service.
In practical terms, this is a domestic-grade machine. It is compact, lightweight, and straightforward to operate, making it well suited to low-volume settings where occasional coffee service is needed rather than sustained throughput. The plastic housing keeps weight down, and the quick heat-up time means drinks can be prepared promptly without extended wait times. The automatic milk rinsing function reduces the cleaning burden after each use.
Key practical features include:
- Nine one-touch drink options covering espresso, lungo, and milk-based recipes
- Integrated milk frother with automatic rinse cycle
- Fast heat-up supporting prompt drink preparation
- Compatible with the full range of Nespresso Original Line capsules
- Compact footprint suited to limited counter space
It is important to be straightforward about suitability here. The Gran Latissima EN640 carries a non-commercial warranty and is built to domestic standards. It is not intended for continuous high-volume service in a professional kitchen environment. It may be appropriate for a small office, a staff room, a waiting area, or a low-footfall hospitality setting where occasional coffee is offered rather than a core service. For sites with consistent coffee demand throughout service, a commercial-grade bean-to-cup or traditional espresso machine would be a more appropriate and durable choice.
If you are unsure whether this machine fits your setup, or whether a more robust option would serve you better, we are happy to talk it through.
£440.00(£528.00 inc VAT)
The Mazzer Mini Timer is a compact on-demand espresso grinder designed for consistent, repeatable dose delivery in café and coffee bar environments. It uses a stepless micrometric grinding adjustment — a patented system that allows very fine, continuous control over grind size without fixed click stops. This gives baristas the ability to dial in precisely for changing conditions throughout the day, whether adjusting for a fresh bag of beans or compensating for shifts in ambient temperature and humidity.
In practice, the Mini Timer suits lower-to-mid volume coffee operations where espresso quality is the priority and counter space is limited. The timed dosing mechanism allows the grinder to dispense a consistent amount of ground coffee per shot, which helps reduce waste and supports more predictable workflow during a busy service period. It is not designed for very high-volume espresso bars running multiple group heads flat out, but for the right environment it performs reliably and consistently.
Practical operational advantages include:
- Stepless micrometric adjustment for precise grind size control without fixed increments
- Timed dosing reduces grind waste and supports portion consistency
- Compact footprint suits tight countertops in smaller coffee operations
- Hopper magnet helps secure the bean hopper during service
- Metal and plastic construction balances durability with manageable weight
At 10kg the unit is stable on a counter without being difficult to reposition for cleaning. The 0.6kg hopper capacity is appropriate for most café volumes, though very busy sites should consider whether a larger-hopper model would reduce the frequency of refills during service.
The Mini Timer is well suited to independent cafés, hotel breakfast operations, small restaurant coffee stations, and office or hospitality settings where a consistent espresso grind is needed without the throughput demands of a high-volume espresso bar.
If you are unsure whether this grinder is the right match for your service volume or machine setup, we are happy to talk it through before you order.
£756.00(£907.20 inc VAT)
The Santos 59TA is a commercial on-demand coffee grinder designed to work directly alongside a traditional barista espresso machine. Rather than grinding in bulk and storing ground coffee, it doses directly into the portafilter each time — preserving the freshness and consistency of each shot. The black aluminium housing is a neat, compact unit suited to counter-based coffee stations without taking over valuable workspace.
In a busy service environment, speed and precision matter as much as grind quality. The 59TA is capable of delivering a single espresso dose in under a second, which keeps workflow moving during peak periods — breakfast rushes, lunchtime queues, or continuous café service — without requiring the operator to slow down or second-guess their dosing. The whisper-quiet motor is a practical advantage in environments where noise levels already need managing, such as hotel lobbies, restaurant front-of-house, or quieter café settings.
From an operational standpoint, the key advantages are:
- Consistent, precise dosing directly into the portafilter — no scooping, no waste
- High throughput capacity supports continuous service without interruption
- Low operating noise suited to customer-facing environments
- Supplied with a tamper, removing the need for a separate purchase
- Compatible with most standard portafilters, integrating with existing espresso kit
The 59TA sits on the counter and requires only a standard mains supply — there are no water connections or drainage requirements. At 15kg it is stable in use but can be repositioned if your counter layout changes. The aluminium build keeps weight manageable without feeling insubstantial. It is worth confirming portafilter compatibility with your existing machine before ordering, as basket diameter and depth can vary across espresso machine brands.
This grinder is well suited to cafés, hotel breakfast operations, restaurants with a dedicated coffee service, and bars offering espresso-based drinks as part of their menu. It is a solid mid-range choice for sites running a single group head or dual group espresso machine at steady volume. Sites with exceptionally high coffee throughput — for example, a high-footfall destination café running three or more group heads at full capacity — may find a heavier-duty grinder more appropriate for their pace of service.
If you're unsure whether this model fits the volume and workflow of your operation, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit.
£1,003.00(£1,203.60 inc VAT)
The Santos 01 is a direct-drive coffee grinder with a heritage dating back to 1954. Built around a horizontal-axis grinding mechanism, it dispenses ground coffee directly into the portafilter or container, making it a practical workhorse for front-of-house and back-bar coffee service. The aluminium and ABS construction keeps the unit robust without unnecessary bulk, and the grinder is available in black as standard.
In a working kitchen or café environment, the Santos 01 handles the daily grind demands of a mid-volume espresso operation reliably. The stepless adjustment dial allows the operator to dial in grind fineness continuously — from Turkish and espresso through to filter and French press — without being locked into preset notches. This makes it genuinely flexible across different brewing methods, which is useful where a kitchen or bar is serving multiple coffee styles through a single machine.
Practical advantages for day-to-day service include:
- Stepless grind adjustment covering Turkish through to coarse French press settings
- Horizontal-axis design with direct dispensing keeps workflow clean and fast
- Straightforward controls that require minimal staff training
- Aluminium and ABS construction — durable without being unnecessarily heavy
- Compact footprint suited to counter space where real estate is limited
Installation is straightforward — the Santos 01 is a countertop unit requiring only a standard mains socket. No plumbing or ventilation requirements apply. At 14kg it is stable on the counter without being difficult to reposition for cleaning. The hopper holds up to 1kg of beans, which suits continuous service without constant refilling, though very high-volume espresso bars processing significant throughput may want to consider a larger-capacity grinder.
The Santos 01 is well suited to cafés, hotel breakfast operations, restaurant coffee service, and hospitality bars running moderate espresso volumes. It is a particularly sensible choice where a reliable, adjustable grinder is needed without the complexity or cost of a high-end competition-grade unit. For sites with heavier throughput demands, a higher-capacity model with a larger hopper and more powerful motor may serve better.
If you are unsure whether the Santos 01 matches your service volume or coffee programme, the team is happy to talk it through with you before you order.
£33.74(£40.49 inc VAT)
200W. Capacity: 60g This compact single speed grinder has a tough stainless steel grinding blade for effective grinding of coffee beans and herbs and spices.
£151.00(£181.20 inc VAT)
The Buffalo spice and coffee grinder is a compact, motor-driven grinder designed for professional kitchen use. It handles both whole coffee beans and dried spices, producing ground results quickly through a high-speed stainless steel blade assembly. Two operating modes — continuous run and pulse — give the operator control over grind consistency depending on what's being processed.
In a working kitchen environment, this kind of grinder earns its place in prep rather than service. It's well suited to grinding small-to-medium batches of spices for house blends, rubs, or spice pastes, and handles coffee grinding for kitchens where freshly ground coffee is part of the offer but volume doesn't justify a dedicated burr grinder. The pulse function is particularly useful when a coarser texture is needed, as it prevents over-processing.
Practical advantages for kitchen teams include:
- Quick clean-down between batches — the bowl detaches for rinsing
- Stainless steel blades hold up well under regular daily use
- Compact footprint suits prep counters with limited space
- Two grind modes reduce the risk of over-grinding delicate spices
- Straightforward operation with no complex settings to manage
At 4.4kg, this is a lightweight unit that can be stored away between uses rather than occupying permanent counter space. It runs from a standard 13A socket and requires no installation beyond positioning on a stable work surface. It's worth noting that this is a blade grinder rather than a burr grinder, so grind uniformity will vary — something to bear in mind if consistent particle size is critical to the application.
This grinder suits smaller operations, development kitchens, or any site that needs occasional grinding capability without committing to a larger, fixed piece of equipment. For high-volume grinding — such as daily coffee service at scale — a heavier-duty dedicated grinder would be a more appropriate fit.
If you're unsure whether this grinder matches what your kitchen needs, we're happy to talk it through before you place an order.
£837.00(£1,004.40 inc VAT)
The Santos 55WA is a commercial espresso grinder designed for consistent, on-demand grinding in front-of-house environments. It operates at 63dB(A) — noticeably quieter than most grinders in its class — making it a practical choice for open-plan cafés, hotel lobbies, and restaurant service areas where background noise matters. The white aluminium and ABS housing is built to sit comfortably on a counter without looking out of place in customer-facing settings.
In service, the grinder delivers a fast, repeatable grind with variable grind settings that can be dialled in precisely to suit your espresso machine and coffee blend. The automatic dispensing function triggers when the portafilter is positioned beneath the chute, which keeps workflow tidy and reduces dose inconsistency during a busy service. The 2.2kg bean hopper means less frequent refilling, which matters when a single barista is managing volume alone.
From an operational standpoint, the 55WA works well alongside single, double, or triple-group espresso machines without becoming a throughput bottleneck. Key practical advantages include:
- Low operating noise suitable for open or customer-facing spaces
- Variable grind settings for consistent dose control across roast profiles
- Automatic portafilter-triggered dispensing to support workflow
- Large hopper capacity reduces service interruptions for refilling
- Compact footprint for counter use in tighter bar setups
Installation is straightforward — the grinder requires a standard 13A socket and no fixed plumbing or ventilation. At 15kg it is stable on the counter without being difficult to reposition for cleaning. It is worth noting that for very high-volume espresso bars running two or more groups continuously through a long service, a higher-capacity grinder with a larger motor may be worth considering.
The 55WA is well suited to cafés, hotel breakfast operations, restaurant bars, and any front-of-house setting where a quiet, reliable grinder needs to keep pace with a single espresso machine. Sites with exceptional throughput demands may benefit from a heavier-duty alternative.
If you are unsure whether this grinder is the right match for your machine or service volume, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.
£937.00(£1,124.40 inc VAT)
The Santos Model 04 is a traditional shop-style coffee grinder designed for high-throughput grinding in retail and commercial environments. Built around horizontal axis grinding discs with a feeding screw mechanism, it takes whole beans from the hopper and delivers freshly ground coffee directly into a bag or container below. The bag holder accommodates standard retail bag sizes and keeps dispensing clean and straightforward. Grind adjustment runs from extra fine through to extra coarse, making it flexible across different coffee styles and blends.
In practice, the Model 04 is well suited to environments where grinding happens in batches throughout the day rather than continuously to order. Coffee roasters, specialist retail shops, farm shops, supermarkets, and bakeries commonly use this type of grinder to prepare pre-packed ground coffee for sale. The commercial induction motor is built for sustained use and handles the kind of daily throughput these settings demand without the wear issues associated with lighter domestic or semi-commercial machines.
From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages are:
- Variable grind range accommodates espresso, filter, cafetière, and coarse brew styles
- Horizontal disc grinding with feeding screw produces consistent particle size across the batch
- Integrated bag holder keeps the dispensing process tidy and reduces spillage
- Stainless steel and aluminium construction is robust and easy to wipe down between batches
- Simple controls mean staff can operate the machine with minimal training
Installation is straightforward. The unit requires a standard single-phase mains supply and needs no specialist plumbing or ventilation. At 18kg it is stable on a counter or dedicated shelf without being difficult to reposition. Allow adequate clearance above the hopper for filling and beneath the bag holder for the container or bag in use. The 1kg hopper capacity suits regular batch grinding rather than continuous high-volume production — operators expecting very large daily throughput should consider whether a higher-capacity model would be a better fit for their operation.
The Model 04 is most appropriate for retail coffee environments, roasteries offering pre-packed ground coffee, and foodservice operators who grind in quantity rather than to single-cup order. It is not designed as a barista grinder for espresso-to-order service, where a dedicated on-demand grinder would be the more suitable choice.
If you are unsure whether the Model 04 fits your volume or use case, our team is happy to talk through the options — it is worth a conversation before you commit.
