Bravilor B5 HW Bulk Filter Coffee Brewer with 2x5Ltr Urns & Hot Water Tap

The Bravilor Bonamat B5 HW is a high-output bulk filter coffee brewer designed for venues that need to serve large quantities of quality filter coffee consistently throughout the day. The machine brews directly into supplied VHG insulated urns, each holding five litres, and includes a separate hot water tap for tea and other hot beverage service. It runs on a three-phase supply and is plumbed directly to mains water, making it a fixed installation rather than a portable countertop unit.

In a busy service environment — conference centres, hotel breakfast operations, staff canteens, or large event catering — the B5 HW is built to keep pace with demand. Its continuous brew capability means staff can rotate filled urns into service whilst the machine begins the next brew cycle, keeping throughput moving without interruption during peak periods. The urns themselves are designed to be carried directly to service points, which suits buffet and self-service layouts where coffee needs to be available away from the brew station.

From an operational standpoint, the setup offers a number of practical advantages:

• Continuous brew-and-serve rotation keeps coffee available throughout service without queuing at the machine
• Insulated VHG urns maintain holding temperature without a heating plate, reducing quality degradation
• Integrated hot water tap removes the need for a separate water boiler at the same station
• Direct mains plumbing eliminates the need for manual water filling between brews
• Three-phase connection supports the output capacity required for consistent high-volume brewing

Installation requires both a three-phase hardwired electrical connection and a plumbed mains water supply with an appropriate isolation valve. This is not a plug-in machine, and installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician and plumber. Allow sufficient worktop depth and clearance for the unit and for urn removal during service. At 33kg, positioning should be planned in advance — it is not easily relocated once installed.

The B5 HW is well suited to high-footfall venues with a regular need for large-batch filter coffee: hotel and leisure catering, contract catering operations, busy staff restaurants, and event spaces. For sites with more modest requirements, a lower-output filter brewer may be more appropriate and more cost-effective to run. For operations with significantly higher throughput demands, a larger-capacity bulk brew solution may be worth considering.
