•
Boiler or Tank Heater: Ensures water stays at the optimal brewing temperature (195°F to 205°F
/ 90°C to 96°C).
•
Thermal Stability Controls: Maintains consistent temperature throughout the brewing cycle, crucial for
flavour consistency.
•
Direct Plumbed Systems: Connected to water lines, ensuring a continuous supply.
•
Pour-over Models: Require manual refilling of water tanks but offer portability.
•
Stainless Steel Baskets: Durable and easy to clean.
•
Thermal Carafes vs. Glass Pots: Thermal carafes keep coffee hot longer without burning, while glass
pots work well with warmers for quick-service needs.
•
Even Water Distribution: Helps ensure all coffee grounds are evenly saturated, preventing under-
extraction or over-extraction.
•
Pre-infusion Systems: Some high-end models offer pre-infusion to release gases from fresh coffee
grounds, improving flavor.
•
Touch Screens and Programmable Settings: Allow customization of brew strength, volume, and
temperature.
•
Manual vs. Automatic Controls: Automatic brewers streamline operations with preset cycles, while
manual models provide more operator control.
•
Warming Plates: Common with glass carafe models; however, they risk over-heating the coffee.
•
Airpots and Urns: Large-capacity insulated containers for bulk service, ideal for catering and high-
volume operations.
