  • Pros: The 'fit and  forget' autofill system is brilliant for busy service periods.
  • Cons: The 22L rapid draw-off might be stretched in exceptionally high-volume venues.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'Bayside Bistro' in Aberystwyth found their old manual-fill urn was causing bottlenecks during their popular weekend brunch service. They needed a faster, more reliable solution that didn't require constant attention from staff.

"We were wasting so much time refilling our old boiler, especially on a busy Saturday. The Burco is plumbed in, so it’s always ready. The water quality is noticeably better with the filter, and  our customers have even commented on how much better the tea tastes."

Mark Davies – Owner, Bayside Bistro

After installation, the bistro was able to serve hot drinks 40% faster during peak times, significantly reducing customer wait times.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure the boiler is placed on a stable, level, and  water-resistant countertop.
  • Connect the provided water hose to a standard 3/4" BSP mains water connection.
  • Make sure there's an accessible 13-amp socket nearby; avoid using extension cords.
  • Before first use, allow the boiler to fill completely and  run one full heating cycle to flush the system.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down the stainless steel exterior daily with a damp cloth to keep it looking smart.
  • Monitor the filter's condition via the indicator and  replace it as recommended to prevent limescale build-up.
  • Regularly check the drip tray and  empty it to avoid any spills or overflows.
  • Follow the manufacturer's instructions for periodic descaling, especially in hard water areas.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Water Boiler

Not sure what fits best for your business? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Capacity vs. Footfall

Consider how many hot drinks you serve per hour. A 20-litre model is great for most cafés and  offices, but larger venues might need a higher capacity unit.

Autofill or Manual?

Autofill is a must-have for convenience in busy spots. Manual-fill boilers are more portable but require constant monitoring and  refilling by staff.

The Importance of Filtration

In the UK, limescale is a machine’s worst enemy. A built-in filter protects your investment, extends its life, and  ensures better-tasting water.

Countertop vs. Wall-Mounted

Countertop models like this one are easy to install anywhere. Wall-mounted units are great for saving precious counter space but require more permanent installation.

Check for Eco-Features

An ECO mode might seem like a small thing, but over the life of the machine, it can lead to significant savings on your energy bills.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does the autofill system actually work?

A: It connects directly to your mains water supply. An internal float system detects when the water level drops and  automatically tops it up, so you never have to fill it manually.

Q: Can I adjust the water temperature?

A: Yes, this model features a variable thermostat, allowing you to set the temperature anywhere between 70°C and  98°C to suit different types of drinks.

Q: How often will I need to change the filter?

A: This depends on your water hardness and  usage. The machine has an indicator to let you know when the filter needs replacing, but typically it's every 4-6 months.

Q: What does the ECO mode do?

A: The programmable ECO mode reduces the amount of water held at boiling temperature during quiet periods or overnight, saving electricity without turning the unit off completely.

Q: Is this machine difficult to install?

A: Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic plumbing knowledge. It requires a mains water connection and  a standard 13-amp socket.

Q: How much hot water can I get out at once?

A: The unit has a rapid draw-off capacity of 22 litres, which is equivalent to around 90 cups of tea before it needs a moment to reheat the fresh water coming in.

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

A: Absolutely. The stainless steel construction is hygienic and  can be easily wiped down with a soft, damp cloth and  a suitable cleaner.

Q: What is the heat-up time from cold?

A: From a cold start, the boiler will heat its full 20-litre capacity to 98°C in just 16 minutes.

It’s a simple piece of tech that saves your staff a huge amount of time and  stress, letting them focus on serving customers instead of ferrying water jugs back and  forth.
