The Nottingham Conference Hub needed to upgrade its beverage service to cope with increasing delegate numbers for its corporate events. Their existing smaller machines were causing long queues during the crucial 15-minute morning break, leading to frustration.
"The Bravilor B40 has completely streamlined our coffee service. We can have 80 litres brewed and ready before the doors even open. Our guests are happier, and our staff are far less stressed. The quality is consistently excellent, which reflects well on us."
Robert Davies – Hospitality Manager
By pre-brewing into both urns, the Hub reduced average delegate waiting time for coffee from over 5 minutes to under 30 seconds.
One of the standout features of the Bravilor B40 is its twin 40-litre removable urns, but what does 'double-walled' and 'electrically heated' really mean for your business? Think of these urns not just as containers, but as mobile serving stations. Once the coffee is brewed, you can detach an urn from the machine and place it on a buffet line, a serving trolley, or in a completely different room.
The double-walled insulation works just like a premium thermos flask, keeping the coffee piping hot for ages. But the electric heating element takes it a step further, maintaining the perfect serving temperature for as long as it's plugged in. This means the last cup served is just as hot and delicious as the first, without any stewing. It gives you incredible flexibility to serve large numbers of people away from the kitchen, all while another 40-litre batch is brewing back at base.
Q: How fast can this machine brew coffee?
A: The Bravilor B40 is incredibly fast, brewing a full 40-litre urn in approximately 17 minutes.
Q: Does it have to be connected to the mains water supply?
A: Yes, this is an automatic machine that requires a permanent connection to your mains water supply for continuous operation.
Q: Can I brew into just one urn at a time?
A: Yes, you have the flexibility to brew into the left urn, the right urn, or both simultaneously, depending on your needs.
Q: What kind of coffee does it use?
A: It's designed for use with standard ground filter coffee to produce fresh, aromatic results.
Q: How do the heated urns work once they're removed?
A: The urns are double-walled for insulation, but they also have their own power cord. You can plug them into a standard socket at a serving station to keep the coffee at the perfect temperature.
Q: What are the electrical requirements?
A: This is a high-power unit that requires a 400V, 3 Phase electrical connection. It cannot be run on a standard 13-amp plug.
Q: Is it difficult to clean?
A: No, the stainless steel construction and removable components make daily cleaning straightforward. A regular descaling routine is also recommended.
Q: What does the 'coffee-ready' signal sound like?
A: It's an audible beep that alerts staff that the brewing cycle is complete, so they don't have to stand and watch the machine.
