A Proper Powerhouse for Your Coffee Service

Here’s a fantastic solution for any business that needs to serve a lot of great-tasting filter coffee, fast. The Bravilor B5 HWR isn't just a coffee machine; it's a complete hot beverage station. This high-performance bulk coffee brewer is engineered for the busiest of environments, from bustling hotel breakfast services to large-scale conference centres, delivering consistently excellent results cup after cup.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Grand Hall, a busy exhibition and events venue in Birmingham, was struggling with their beverage service during large-scale events. Their collection of smaller percolators couldn't cope with the demand during break times, leading to long queues and frustrated attendees.

"We were constantly running out of coffee right when we needed it most. The Bravilor B5 has totally streamlined our operation. We can brew a huge batch in minutes and then move the urn straight to the service point. The feedback from clients has been fantastic."

Robert Green – Facilities Manager

The new setup has enabled them to serve a full conference break in under 15 minutes, increasing delegate satisfaction and reducing staffing pressure.

Serve Anywhere: Why the Portable Heated Urn is a Big Deal

You might see 'removable container' and just think of a standard coffee pot, but Bravilor's heated urn is much cleverer than that. Think of it less like a jug and more like a high-tech Thermos flask that has its own gentle heating element built-in. The machine brews a perfect 5-litre batch of coffee directly into this insulated, double-walled container.

Once it's done, you simply detach the entire urn and carry it wherever it’s needed – a self-service buffet, a meeting room table, or a catering trolley. Because it's heated and insulated, it maintains the coffee at the ideal drinking temperature for an extended period, without it 'stewing' or turning bitter. This means the last person to pour a cup gets the same quality as the first, and your service is no longer tied to the location of the machine.

Installation and Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

This unit requires a 400V, 3-phase electrical supply. This must be installed by a qualified electrician.
A direct mains water connection with a 3/4" stopcock is needed for the automatic filling system.
Place the machine on a sturdy, level countertop with good ventilation and easy access for cleaning.
Before first use, run a couple of brew cycles with just water to flush the system through.

Keeping It Going

Descale the machine regularly according to the manufacturer's instructions, especially in hard water areas.
Clean the filter pan, spray head, and urn daily using a non-abrasive food-safe cleaner.
Wipe down the stainless steel housing with a damp microfibre cloth to keep it looking smart.
Regularly check that the spray head holes are clear to ensure even water distribution over the coffee grounds.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Bulk Coffee Brewer

Need a hand figuring out what's best for your business? Here are a few pointers to help you choose the right high-volume coffee machine.

Consider Your Peak Demand

Think about your busiest hour. A machine's hourly output (like this model's 30Ltr/hr) is a key stat. It's better to have too much capacity than not enough.

Check Your Power & Water

Bulk brewers are power-hungry. Confirm you have the required electrical supply (e.g., 400V 3-phase) and a mains water connection point nearby.

Dual-Functionality Saves Space

Do you also need lots of hot water for tea? A model with a separate hot water tap, like this one, can save you buying another appliance and frees up valuable counter space.

Service Style Matters

If you need to serve coffee away from the kitchen, a machine with a portable, heated urn is non-negotiable. It gives you incredible flexibility for buffets and events.

Measure Your Space

These units are sizeable. Measure your counter space carefully, and don't forget to leave room for staff to access the filter basket and remove the urn easily.
