Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

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.

How a Removable Urn Transforms Your Service

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.

Installation and Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure the machine is placed on a stable, level countertop with enough space for ventilation.
  • This unit requires a permanent mains water connection. We strongly recommend using a qualified plumber for a safe and secure installation.
  • Verify your electrical supply. This 3.07kW machine is single-phase but may require a specific socket rather than a standard 13A plug.
  • Before your first proper brew, run two full cycles with just water to flush the internal system completely.

Keeping It Going

  • Descale the machine regularly according to the manufacturer's instructions, especially in hard water areas. This is vital for performance.
  • After each day of use, wash the filter pan and the 5Ltr urn with a suitable non-abrasive cleaning agent.
  • Wipe down the stainless steel housing daily with a soft, damp cloth to maintain its professional appearance.
  • Periodically check the spray head holes are clear of any scale or coffee ground build-up to ensure even water distribution over the coffee.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Filter Coffee Machine

Not sure if a bulk brewer is right for you? Here are a few key things to think about before you decide.

Consider Your Peak Demand

How many cups do you need in your busiest hour? A Commercial Bulk Coffee Brewer like this is for high-volume needs. Match the machine's litres-per-hour output to your demand.

Plumbed vs. Manual Fill

This model is plumbed-in, meaning it refills automatically. This is a massive time-saver in busy settings, eliminating the need for staff to constantly top it up with water.

Serving Flexibility

Do you need to serve coffee away from the machine? If so, a model with portable, insulated urns like this one is essential. It lets you set up serving stations anywhere.

Check Your Counter Space

Bulk brewers are larger than standard percolators. Always measure your available space and check the product dimensions to ensure a good fit.

Ease of Use

Will multiple staff with varying skill levels be using the machine? A simple, intuitive interface with clear signals, like the B5's, reduces training time and user error.
