Industrial Coffee Machines
Costa Coffee, Starbucks, and other coffee retailers around Great Britain stay busy day in and day out. Demand for industrial coffee machines has held steady even through the dark sales days of the economic downturn.
Throughout 2009, while retailers of most industries—butchers, bakers, candlestick makers, you name it—have had to cut back operations, or even close down altogether, the country’s six biggest coffee houses actually boosted the combined number of their shops to 2,095—an increase of 47%.
Recession notwithstanding, Britons are drinking more coffee than ever. Ergo, the market demand for industrial coffee machines is at a crescendo. Coffee houses need to keep their coffee brewing, after all.
Even if you don’t own a coffee shop, you might still be in the market for an industrial coffee machine. Perhaps you’re a delicatessen owner or a restaurant owner, for example. Both of these places of businesses have customers that expect coffee on demand. A typical coffee pot isn’t going to cut it for you. Coffee makers at delis and restaurants see a lot more use day-to-day than a home or office-based coffee maker. You’ll need an industrial coffee machine to keep your clientele satisfied.
If you’re shopping for a new industrial coffee machine, first figure out what your particular business needs might be and how the machine might best serve them. A catering business, for example, needs a coffee machine that is light and mobile, one that is not connected to a water line. A coffee shop will want a coffee machine that is bigger: It should be connected to a water line and have the capacity to brew a few pots of coffee at a time. As for a deli, it could do well with a machine that is somewhere in between.
There are two main types of industrial coffee machines: the automatic models and the pour-over models. Automatics connect to their buildings’ water lines, so their water reservoirs remain filled at all times. Pour-overs have reservoirs that you need to fill with water yourself, manually, to brew new pots of coffee.
Also keep in mind that there are other drip industrial coffee makers. Regular drip brewers brew coffee into pots and keep the pots hot via warmers. Pod brewers work with coffee pods, not coffee grounds. Airpot brewers brew the coffee into airpots, which keep the coffee hot and fresh without warmers. Airpots are the most portable of the three.
