De Buyer Stainless Steel Automatic Piston Funnel 1.5ltr

The De Buyer automatic piston funnel is a straightforward portioning tool used in pastry, sauce, and prep work across professional kitchens. The piston mechanism dispenses measured amounts of liquid or semi-liquid product — sauces, cream, batters, dressings — with each press, reducing the inconsistency that comes with ladling or pouring by hand. The 1.5 litre capacity suits batch-fill working rather than high-volume continuous dispensing.

In a busy kitchen environment, consistency and speed matter. This type of funnel is commonly used at pastry stations, sauce prep areas, and plating lines where portion control directly affects food cost and presentation. The piston action means staff can work one-handed if needed, which is practical when plating at pace. The stainless steel construction holds up well to repeated use and the temperature ranges typical of sauce and cream work.

Practical advantages in day-to-day use include:

• Consistent portion output reduces waste and keeps food costs predictable
• One-handed operation supports faster, cleaner plating
• Non-slip stand keeps the unit stable on the bench between uses
• Two nozzles supplied, allowing different flow rates or product types
• Dishwasher safe construction simplifies end-of-service cleaning

There are no installation requirements — this is a benchtop tool that needs no water, electrical, or gas connection. At 720g it is light enough to move around the kitchen as needed. The 165mm height and 180mm diameter are worth checking against your available bench space, particularly if the funnel will sit in a fixed position during service.

This funnel is well suited to smaller operations, individual stations, and kitchens where sauce or cream portioning forms part of regular service. For sites dispensing significantly higher volumes, or where multiple stations need simultaneous access, a larger-capacity unit may be a more practical choice.

If you are unsure whether this capacity suits your service requirements, our team is happy to talk through the options.
