Product Description
The Bravilor Bonamat B5 HWR is a plumbed-in bulk filter coffee brewer designed for high-volume beverage service. It combines a continuous-brew coffee unit with an integrated 5-litre insulated urn and a dedicated hot water tap, making it a practical single-unit solution where both filter coffee and hot water need to be available simultaneously throughout service.
In demanding environments — large staff restaurants, stadium concourses, theatre intervals, conference centres — the B5 earns its place through consistent output. Producing up to 30 litres of filter coffee per hour alongside 20 litres of hot water per hour, it can maintain throughput across sustained peak periods without requiring operator attention for every brew cycle. Coffee is held in the 5-litre urn, which keeps the product at serving temperature while the next batch is already in production. The result is a relatively uninterrupted supply during busy service windows.
From an operational standpoint, the key advantages are:
- Continuous brewing cycle reduces gaps in coffee availability during peak service
- Integrated hot water tap removes the need for a separate boiler at the station
- Simple user interface means less training overhead and fewer service errors
- Plumbed-in supply eliminates the need to manually refill water throughout the day
- Insulated urn maintains holding temperature without a separate heating plate
The B5 HWR requires a hardwired three-phase electrical connection and a direct mains water supply with appropriate pressure. It is not plug-and-play — specialist installation by a qualified electrician and plumber is essential before use. The unit is a fixed installation; the urn itself can be detached for transport to serving points, which suits venues where coffee is brewed centrally and then carried to the floor. Allow adequate worktop depth and clearance above for routine maintenance access.
This brewer is best suited to high-volume catering operations where coffee demand is consistent and volume is large — venues serving several hundred covers per session will find it a reliable workhorse. Smaller operations with lighter or intermittent demand may find the output more than they need, and a lower-capacity plumbed brewer would likely be a better fit. Equally, very large or multi-outlet sites may want to consider whether a higher-output configuration would better match their throughput requirements.
If you are unsure whether the B5 HWR matches your service volumes or installation setup, we are happy to talk it through before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The B5 HWR is most commonly found in high-volume catering environments where large quantities of filter coffee need to be produced continuously — stadiums, theatres, conference centres, large staff canteens, and event catering operations. It is designed for sites serving several hundred people per session rather than smaller café or restaurant settings where a lower-output brewer would be more appropriate.
- The unit requires a hardwired three-phase electrical connection and a direct plumbed mains water supply — it cannot be connected via a standard 13-amp socket or filled manually. Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician and plumber before the machine can be commissioned. If your site does not currently have three-phase power at the installation point, you will need to factor in any electrical infrastructure works as part of the project cost.
- Yes — the 5-litre urn detaches from the brewer, which is one of the practical reasons the B5 suits venues where coffee is produced centrally and then carried out to service points on a concourse or floor. The urn is insulated to maintain temperature during transport. While the urn is away, the brewer continues producing the next batch, so provided the timing works with your service rhythm, you can maintain a reasonably continuous supply.
