  • Pro: The mobile, heated urns are fantastic for event catering or large venues.
  • Con: It needs a 3-phase connection, so check your site's power supply first.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Nottingham Arena was struggling with its existing coffee setup, which couldn't keep pace with the thousands of visitors during concert intervals. The catering team needed a solution that was both fast and  flexible enough to serve multiple bar areas simultaneously.

"We used to have queues forming during the 15-minute interval, which was a real headache. The Bravilor B20 brews so fast and  the mobile urns mean we can set up serving stations around the venue. It has completely streamlined our hospitality and  increased our takings."

Robert Green – Catering Manager

The new system has reduced average customer wait times by over 60% during peak periods.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • This unit requires a permanent mains water connection for its automatic filling function.
  • It is a 400V 3-phase machine and  must be hardwired into your mains supply by a qualified electrician.
  • Ensure it is placed on a sturdy, level countertop that can comfortably support its full operational weight (over 100kg with water).
  • Always allow for adequate ventilation around the back and  sides of the unit to prevent overheating.

Keeping It Going

  • Regularly descale the machine according to the manual's instructions, especially in hard water areas.
  • Clean the filter pan and  spray head daily to prevent bitter coffee oil build-up and  ensure great taste.
  • Wipe down the stainless steel exterior with a soft, damp cloth to keep it looking professional.
  • Thoroughly rinse the serving urns with hot water after each use before the next brew.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Coffee Brewer

Not sure which coffee machine is right for your scale? Here are a few things to consider before you commit.

Capacity vs. Footfall

Estimate your peak demand. A machine like this serves 90L/hr, which is ideal for 100+ people an hour. A smaller café might be better served by a different model.

Power & Plumbing

Check your site's utilities. Most bulk brewers need a mains water feed for auto-fill and  a hardwired electrical connection, often 3-phase like this one.

Coffee Type

This is a filter coffee brewer, perfect for serving consistently good black coffee in large volumes. It is not designed for making espressos or speciality milk drinks.

Portability Needs

Do you need to serve in different areas? Look for models with removable, portable urns like this one for the ultimate operational flexibility.

Ease of Cleaning

Stainless steel construction and  removable parts make daily cleaning much simpler. This is vital for maintaining hygiene standards and  coffee taste.

How Mobile Urns Transform Your Service Flow

The '2 x 20L removable containers' sound simple, but they're the key to this machine's incredible flexibility. Think of them like two giant, high-tech thermos flasks that your coffee brews directly into. Once a 20-litre batch is ready, you can simply lift the insulated, heated container off the machine and  carry it to a self-service buffet, a meeting room, or an outdoor stand. Meanwhile, the main machine is completely free to start brewing the next 20 litres. This 'brew and  deploy' system means you're never out of action and  can serve fresh, hot coffee in multiple locations from a single high volume coffee machine, slashing bottlenecks and  keeping everyone happy.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Large Hotels & Resorts: The perfect solution for powering breakfast buffets, meeting rooms, and  large-scale banqueting events.
