Product Overview

Here’s a fantastic solution for any business that needs to serve a serious amount of fresh coffee, fast. The Bravilor B20 HWL is a high-performance commercial bulk coffee brewer designed to eliminate queues and  keep the caffeine flowing. It doesn’t just brew vast quantities; it does so with precision and  consistency, ensuring every cup meets the high standards your customers expect. It’s the kind of machine you’ll find powering busy conference centres, bustling hotel breakfast services, and  large-scale canteens.

Specifically built for high-footfall environments, this unit combines a massive 90-litre per hour coffee output with the practicality of a separate hot water tap. This dual functionality means you can cater to both coffee and  tea drinkers simultaneously without compromising on speed. The whole system is engineered for ease of use, from its simple timer controls to the clever safety features that prevent mishaps during the busiest shifts. Its robust stainless steel finish not only looks professional but is a doddle to keep clean.

The standout feature has to be the 20-litre portable, insulated urn. You can brew a massive batch directly into it, then simply detach it and  carry it to a serving station, function room, or buffet line. This keeps coffee piping hot and  fresh without stewing on a burner, simplifying your entire service workflow. If you’re tired of constantly refilling smaller pots and  want a reliable, high-volume workhorse, the Bravilor B20 is your answer.

Key Features and  Benefits

  • Massive 90Ltr/hr Output: Brews a full 20-litre batch in just 14 minutes.
  • Separate Hot Water Tap: Serve tea and  other hot drinks without interrupting coffee brewing.
  • Portable 20Ltr Urn: Take hot, fresh coffee directly to your serving points.
  • Built-in Timer: Guarantees a perfectly consistent brew, batch after batch.
  • Coffee-Ready Signal: Alerts staff when brewing is done, freeing them for other tasks.
  • Smart Safety Devices: Prevents brewing if the container or arm isn't placed correctly.
  • Stainless Steel Build: Incredibly durable, hygienic, and  very easy to wipe down.
  • Adjustable Brew Time: Fine-tune the extraction for your specific coffee blend perfectly.

Expert Review and  Insights

When it comes to pure brewing power for large-scale catering, the Bravilor B-series is an industry benchmark. This B20 HWL model is a true workhorse; it's designed for one job – making lots of good, consistent filter coffee quickly – and  it does it exceptionally well. The addition of the separate hot water boiler is a smart move, making it a complete hot beverage station.

  • Pros: The combination of speed and  the portable urn is fantastic for event catering.
  • Cons: It requires a 400V hardwired connection, so ensure your site is properly equipped.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Grand Pier in Weston-super-Mare needed to upgrade their main café's beverage station. Their existing setup of multiple smaller percolators couldn't handle the sheer volume of visitors during peak holiday seasons, leading to long waits and  staff stress.

"We were constantly running out of coffee on busy weekends. The Bravilor B20 has completely solved that. We can brew a huge batch and  wheel the urn straight over to the self-service area. It’s simplified the whole process, and  the hot water tap for tea is a brilliant bonus."

Robert Davies – Catering Manager

The new system has reduced coffee service bottlenecks by over 80%, allowing staff to focus on other customers and  significantly improving the visitor experience.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure the machine is placed on a sturdy, level countertop that can support its full weight (over 60kg with water).
  • This unit requires a permanent mains water connection. We recommend fitting a water filter, especially in hard water areas.
  • Crucially: This machine is 400V and  must be hardwired by a qualified commercial electrician. It does not use a standard plug.
  • Before first use, run a full water-only cycle to flush the system thoroughly.

Keeping It Going

  • Rinse the coffee filter pan and  the serving urn with hot water after every day of use.
  • Wipe down the stainless steel exterior with a damp, soft cloth to keep it looking its best.
  • Follow the manufacturer's instructions for regular descaling – this is vital for performance and  longevity.
  • Check the spray head and  seals periodically for any coffee oil build-up or wear and  tear.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Coffee Machine

Struggling to find the right brewer for your business? Here are a few key things to consider to make sure you get the perfect fit.

Volume vs. Footfall

Be realistic about your busiest hour. Match the machine's litres-per-hour output to your peak demand to avoid queues forming.

Drink Menu

Do you only need filter coffee, or is a separate hot water tap for tea and  other infusions a must-have? A dual-function machine like this can be a huge space-saver.

Power & Plumbing

Check your site's services. Does the machine need a standard 13A plug, or a more powerful, hardwired connection like this one? Do you have a mains water point nearby?

Service Style

Are you serving directly from the machine at a counter, or do you need to transport coffee to different locations like buffet tables or meeting rooms? A portable urn is essential for the latter.

Water Quality

In hard water areas, a compatible water filter is not just a recommendation; it's essential to prevent limescale build-up, protect your investment, and  ensure great-tasting coffee.

Beyond the Brew: How the Removable Urn Simplifies Service

You might see 'removable container' and  just think of a large coffee pot, but it's much cleverer than that. Think of the 20-litre urn as a giant, high-tech thermos flask that you brew directly into. Instead of your staff ferrying dozens of small carafes back and  forth to a buffet or meeting room, they simply unclip the entire 20-litre urn and  carry it to where your customers are. The double-wall insulation keeps the coffee piping hot for hours without it stewing on a hotplate, which preserves that fresh, clean taste. It's a feature that drastically cuts down on labour, reduces spills, and  keeps your service flowing beautifully, even under pressure.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Conference Centres & Hotels: Effortlessly cater for large breakfast services and  event breakout sessions without any delay.
  • University Canteens & Halls: Keep up with the intense morning rush, providing fresh filter coffee for hundreds of students.
  • Airport Lounges & Travel Hubs: Deliver consistent, high-quality coffee for travellers needing a quick, reliable caffeine fix.
  • Large Workplace Cafeterias: Fuel your entire workforce around the clock with a dependable, high-capacity coffee solution.
