Product Description
The Roller Grill GES 20 is a countertop contact waffle iron built specifically for producing Liege-style waffles. Unlike standard Belgian-style waffles made from a poured batter, Liege waffles use a denser, enriched dough, and the GES 20 is designed with that in mind. Its cast plates handle the thicker consistency reliably, delivering an evenly caramelised finish across both grids in a single cook cycle.
In a working service environment, the dual-grid layout allows two waffles to be produced simultaneously without requiring additional handling or a larger unit. The machine works consistently with both fresh dough and pre-portioned frozen product, giving operators flexibility in how they manage prep and throughput during busy periods. Recovery between batches is steady enough for counter service, though operations running continuous high-volume output may find a multi-plate or higher-capacity unit a more practical fit.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the GES 20 offers a number of straightforward advantages:
- Compact countertop footprint suits tight service areas and pop-up setups
- Dual-grid layout doubles output without adding handling time or complexity
- Compatible with both fresh dough and frozen pre-portioned waffle product
- Cast plate construction promotes even heat distribution across the waffle surface
- Simple operation reduces staff training time, including for front-of-house use
Installation requires nothing more than a suitable mains socket — there are no gas connections, water supplies, or specialist extraction requirements in most settings. The unit should be positioned on a stable, heat-resistant surface and kept clear of combustible materials during service. Keeping the plates clean will preserve non-stick performance and extend the working life of the unit.
The GES 20 is well suited to cafés, dessert counters, hotel breakfast operations, and market or event traders offering freshly made Liege waffles. It works equally well as an entry-level unit for operators new to waffle service or as a supplementary machine for those needing modest additional capacity alongside existing equipment. For higher-volume sites serving continuous demand, a heavier-duty model with greater plate capacity may be worth considering.
If you are weighing up whether this model suits your service style or counter setup, the team is happy to talk it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The GES 20 is well suited to steady counter service and moderate throughput, such as a café breakfast run or a dessert counter during a busy lunch period. Operators running back-to-back batches over extended service periods without pause may find a unit with greater plate capacity a more practical choice — it is worth discussing your expected volume with us before committing.
- The GES 20 is specifically designed for Liege-style waffles, which use a thick, enriched dough rather than a poured batter. Using a standard liquid batter in this machine is not its intended application and may not produce consistent results — if your menu requires both waffle types, it is worth discussing which unit or combination best fits your needs.
- The unit runs from a standard mains socket and requires no gas supply, water connection, or dedicated extraction in most settings. It should be placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface with adequate clearance from combustible materials, making it straightforward to position on an existing counter or servery without specialist installation work.
