Commercial Coffee Makers

A commercial coffee maker makes good sense for restaurants and large offices. You can buy or rent a commercial coffee maker from many sources, some of which will even provide your coffee supplies and will also clean and maintain your equipment for you.

You may choose to rent your coffee maker or you may also choose to buy your commercial coffee maker. You can even buy a used commercial coffee maker. One of the key factors in a coffee maker is buying the right size and type. If you are using it for an office, a commercial grade coffee maker with a thermal carafe is a good idea. If a coffee pot sits on a warming plate all day, the coffee will taste burnt. If you are using commercial coffee makers in a restaurant where the coffee will be consumed shortly after brewing, you probably don’t need a carafe but if you have an office, thermal is usually the best way to go.

Many people choose to go with a one cup commercial coffee maker. This gives the coffee drinker a freshly brewed cup one cup at a time instead of a large pot being made and left. This can be good for waste reduction as well as for time constraints. It only takes a few seconds to brew a single cup in these designs rather than several minutes for a large twenty to thirty cup pot to brew.

Commercial coffee brewers are only as good as the coffee you buy. Make sure if you’re buying coffee for your staff that your staff actually likes the coffee, otherwise it’s a wasted investment. Many coffee companies service their machines and provide several types of coffee. Surveying your staff on what they like is a good idea.

When setting up a coffee maker in commercial setting, you might have to have professional installation done if you are having water run directly into the coffee maker. It’s a very good idea to hire a professional if your coffee maker isn’t coming from a professional services organization that does the set up for you.

There are many commercial coffee manufacturers out there that either make both commercial and residential equipment or that specialize in restaurant quality equipment or office supply coffee equipment. There are many popular models like the Bunn commercial coffee maker or Mr. Coffee commercial coffee brewer. Parts and services may or may not be covered by your coffee service. If you are renting your equipment, it should be but if you own your equipment you might want to set up a relationship with a service organization who can service and acquire spare parts for you.

A commercial coffee maker part can often be ordered from the manufacturer of the coffee machine online. Using a commercial coffee brewer is not necessary in a home but can make a huge difference to the restaurant or an office where good coffee is needed in large quantities, and fast.
