The Grand Hall in Harrogate was struggling with its existing coffee setup during large-scale exhibitions, with delegates facing long waits during scheduled breaks. They needed a high-capacity solution that was both fast and mobile.
"The mid-morning break used to be our biggest headache. With the Bravilor B5, we can have a full 5-litre urn brewed and ready on the serving station, with another one brewing. Service is smooth, fast, and our guests are so much happier."
Robert Finch – Events Coordinator
The upgrade has successfully eliminated coffee break queues, allowing them to serve over 200 delegates in under 20 minutes.
The 'removable 5Ltr container' might just sound like a coffee pot, but it's the key to this machine's fantastic flexibility. Think of it like a giant, high-tech thermos flask that you brew directly into. Because it's double-walled and insulated, it holds its temperature for a remarkably long time once it's off the heating base. This means you aren't tied to serving coffee right next to the machine. You can place the entire 5-litre urn on a buffet table, wheel it on a trolley to a conference room, or set up a second serving point across the hall. It completely separates the brewing from the serving, which is how you eliminate queues and serve guests wherever they are.
Q: How long does it take to brew a full 5-litre urn?
A: It's impressively quick, brewing a full 5-litre batch of fresh filter coffee in approximately 20 minutes.
Q: Does this machine need a mains water connection?
A: Yes, this is a plumbed-in model designed for automatic water filling, which is essential for its high-volume output.
Q: What kind of coffee filters does it take?
A: It uses large, flat-bottomed basket filters specifically designed for commercial bulk brewing machines.
Q: Is the serving urn heated?
A: The urn is double-walled for excellent insulation. It is also electrically heated when sitting on the machine's base to maintain the perfect serving temperature.
Q: How does the 'coffee-ready' signal work?
A: The machine will produce an audible beep and an indicator light will switch on to let your staff know that the brewing cycle is complete.
Q: Is it difficult to clean?
A: Not at all. The main components like the filter pan and urn are removable for easy daily cleaning, and the stainless steel body just needs a wipe-down.
Q: Can I adjust the strength of the coffee?
A: Yes, you can adjust the brewing time. A longer brew time will result in a stronger extraction, allowing you to tailor the taste to your preference.
Q: What are the built-in safety devices?
A: The machine has sensors that prevent it from starting a brew cycle unless the container and the spray arm are correctly in place, preventing hot water spills.
