Expert Review and  Insights

The Buffalo CJ787 is a fantastic example of smart, practical design. It solves a real-world problem for so many businesses: the need for constant hot water in a small footprint. It’s not flashy, but its performance is solid, reliable, and  it’s built to withstand the daily grind of a busy commercial kitchen. It’s a classic workhorse.

Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Pro: The auto-fill and  filtration system working together is a huge operational win.
  • Con: It relies entirely on a mains water connection, limiting its off-grid portability.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The ‘Proper Pasty Co.’ in Truro, Cornwall, found their single kettle was causing a bottleneck during the busy tourist season. They needed a faster, more reliable solution that wouldn't take up much space on their already crowded serving counter.

"We can now make a round of teas for a family of five in seconds, rather than minutes. It's completely smoothed out our morning service, and  customers are much happier. The slim design is perfect for our small shop."

Robert Davies – Manager

The installation of the Buffalo autofill water boiler for their cafe has directly led to a 30% increase in hot drink sales during peak periods.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Position the boiler on a flat, stable surface within reach of a mains water supply and  a 13A socket.
  • Securely connect the supplied push-fit water hose to your mains connection. Ensure there are no kinks.
  • Before its first proper use, allow the boiler to fill and  heat up completely, then dispense a full tank of water to flush the new system.
  • Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit to prevent overheating.

Keeping It Going

  • Empty and  wipe down the removable drip tray at the end of each day to maintain hygiene.
  • Regularly check and  replace the water filter cartridge as per the manufacturer's guidelines to prevent limescale.
  • In hard water areas, perform a full descaling procedure every 3-6 months to maintain heating efficiency.
  • Wipe the stainless steel exterior with a soft, damp cloth and  a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive scourers.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Water Boiler

Not sure which water boiler is right for your space? Here’s a quick rundown of what to consider.

Capacity vs. Output

Think about your busiest hour. Capacity (e.g., 10Ltr) is how much is ready instantly, while output (e.g., 30Ltr/hr) is how quickly it can serve over time. High-volume sites need a good output.

Countertop Footprint

Measure your available space first! A slimline model like this one is a lifesaver when counter space is at a premium, without compromising on performance.

Auto-Fill or Manual?

For any site serving customers or a large staff, an auto-fill (plumbed-in) model is essential for continuous service. Manual-fill boilers are better for occasional, portable use.

Water Filtration

If you're in a hard water area (which is most of the UK!), a boiler with a built-in or supplied filter is a non-negotiable. It protects your investment from limescale damage.

Power Supply

Most countertop boilers use a standard 13A plug, making them easy to install. Always check the power rating (kW) to ensure your sockets can handle it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does the auto-fill feature work?

A: It connects directly to your mains water supply with the included hose and  automatically tops itself up as you use the water, so it never runs empty.

Q: Do I really need the water filter?

A: Yes, it's highly recommended. It significantly reduces limescale build-up, which protects the heating element, prolongs the machine's life, and  improves the taste of your water.

Q: How much space do I need under the tap?

A: The distance from the tap to the drip tray is 260mm, which is generous enough for large mugs, takeaway cups, and  most standard teapots.

Q: How quickly does it provide hot water?

A: Once at temperature, the water is instant. The machine can dispense up to 30 litres of hot water per hour, which is roughly 120 cups of tea.

Q: Is this Buffalo 10L auto fill boiler noisy in operation?

A: It operates very quietly. You'll hear it gently heating and  refilling in the background, but it's not disruptive to a café or office environment.

Q: Can I turn it off overnight?

A: Absolutely. You can switch it off at the wall to save energy when your business is closed. It will reheat relatively quickly the next morning.

Q: What are the LED indicator lights for?

A: They provide a clear visual guide, showing you when the power is on, when the machine is heating, and when the water level is low or at its optimal temperature.

Q: Is the stainless steel body easy to keep clean?

A: Yes, the stainless steel housing and  removable drip tray are designed for easy wipe-down cleaning at the end of service.

What Customers Are Saying

"An absolutely essential piece of kit for our workshop tea room. It just keeps going, never runs out, and  the water is always perfectly hot. Highly recommended."

Claire Jenkins – Workshop Manager, Sheffield

"This countertop auto fill water boiler is great. It's been very reliable and  fits neatly behind the counter. My only tiny niggle is that the power lead could be a little longer."

Ben Williams – B&B Owner, Llandudno

"We bought this for our office of 40 people and  it's been brilliant. So much safer and  more efficient than having multiple kettles on the go. The filter makes a noticeable difference to the taste, too."

Fatima Khan – Operations Lead, Birmingham

How Automatic Refill Keeps Your Service Flowing

Ever wondered how an 'auto-fill' system actually works? It’s beautifully simple. This commercial slimline water boiler connects directly to your mains water pipe via a small, secure hose. Inside, a clever float valve, much like the one in your toilet cistern, monitors the water level. When you dispense hot water and  the level drops, the valve opens automatically, letting in fresh, filtered water until it's full again. It all happens quietly in the background. Think of it as a bottomless cup of tea for your business; it ensures you’re always ready for the next order without ever having to stop and  run to a tap. It’s this seamless, hands-off operation that transforms a busy service from chaotic to calm.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Busy Cafés & Coffee Shops: Keep up with endless orders for tea, Americanos, and  pot refills without missing a beat.
  • Office Kitchens & Staff Rooms: Provide a safe and  efficient hot water source for the entire team, eliminating kettle queues.
  • Mobile Catering Vans: A must-have for serving hot drinks at events, provided you have mains water and  power access.
  • Community Halls & B&Bs: Offer instant hot water for guests or events, making hosting large groups much simpler.
