Expert Review and  Insights

The Rowlett GM947 is a fantastic bit of kit for businesses dipping their toes into serious coffee service. It cleverly bridges the gap between domestic machines and  full-blown commercial setups.

Charlotte Powell – Barista & Coffee Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • All-in-One Brilliance: Grinds, brews, and  foams milk automatically, ensuring fantastic consistency between users.
  • Capacity Considerations: The 1.7L tank and  250g bean hopper are best suited for low-to-medium volume spots.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

"The Corner Bookshop," a quaint independent bookstore in Chester, wanted to add a small café corner but was concerned about staff training and  consistency. Their existing pod machine was proving costly and  underwhelming for customers looking for a proper coffee experience.

"We needed something that any of our team could use, whether they're 18 or 68. The Rowlett machine is just that. We press a button, and  it produces a fantastic latte every time. Our customers love it, and  it's given us a lovely new revenue stream without any of the hassle we'd feared."

David Chen – Owner

The bookshop saw a 60% increase in drink sales in the first three months, with coffee becoming a key reason for new and  repeat visits.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a flat, stable surface with good ventilation, away from direct heat or water sources.
  • Before first use, wash the water tank, milk container, and  drip tray in warm, soapy water.
  • Fill the water tank with fresh, cold water and  the hopper with your favourite coffee beans.
  • Plug it in and  run a 'Long Coffee' cycle without a cup to prime and  rinse the internal system.

Keeping It Going

  • Always use the automatic rinse function when prompted to keep the pipes clean.
  • Empty the drip tray and  used coffee grounds container daily to prevent build-up.
  • Wipe down the exterior and  the milk frother nozzle after each day's use.
  • Follow the machine's prompts for the full descaling cycle to prevent limescale damage and  ensure great-tasting coffee.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Bean to Cup Coffee Machine

Not sure which coffee machine is the perfect match for your business? Here are a few things to consider to help you decide.

Capacity & Volume

How many coffees will you serve a day? A machine with a manual-fill tank like this Rowlett is ideal for up to 50-70 cups, while high-volume sites might need a plumbed-in model.

Your Drinks Menu

Do you just need black coffee, or do you want a full menu of lattes and  cappuccinos? An automatic bean to cup coffee machine with an integrated milk frother offers maximum versatility.

Space & Layout

Measure your counter space carefully. Compact, all-in-one machines save a huge amount of room compared to separate grinders and  espresso machines.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for features like automatic rinse cycles and  removable components. A machine that's easy to clean is more likely to be well-maintained, ensuring its longevity and  hygiene.

Who Will Be Using It?

If you don't have trained baristas, a fully automatic, one-touch machine is the perfect choice. It guarantees consistency no matter who is on shift.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use different types of milk, like oat or soya?

A: Yes, the automatic frothing system works well with most dairy and  non-dairy barista-style milks. For best results, use chilled milk straight from the fridge.

Q: How long does the auto-rinse cycle take?

A: The rinse cycle is very quick, usually taking less than 30 seconds to complete upon startup or shutdown.

Q: Is this a Rowlett espresso machine or does it just make coffee?

A: It does both! It can produce a genuine espresso shot using its 19-bar pressure system, which then forms the base for other drinks like Americanos and  Lattes.

Q: Can I adjust the strength of the coffee?

A: Absolutely. You can adjust the strength by choosing one of the five different grind settings – a finer grind will produce a stronger, more intense flavour.

Q: What is the maximum cup or mug size it can accommodate?

A: The spout can accommodate cups up to a maximum height of 13cm.

Q: Does this machine need to be connected to a mains water supply?

A: No, this model features a 1.7-litre manual-fill water tank, so it doesn't require any plumbing. Just top it up as needed.

Q: Can I use ground coffee in this machine?

A: This is a dedicated bean to cup machine, designed to grind fresh beans for every drink. It does not have a bypass chute for pre-ground coffee.

Q: How do I know when to refill the water or beans?

A: The machine is equipped with low-level alarms and  will display a warning on the touchscreen when the water tank or bean hopper needs refilling.

Tom Wilson – Office Manager, Bristol
