Filter Coffee Machines
A filter coffee machine brews larger batches of coffee by dripping hot water through ground coffee into a jug or airpot, a fast, low-maintenance option well suited to cafés, hotels, care homes and offices serving filter coffee alongside espresso drinks. “Filter coffee machine” is a strong commercial search term for trade buyers looking at brands like Bravilor, Marco or Bunn rather than domestic filter machines.
Key specifications
Brew capacity typically runs 1.7-10 litres per batch, with bulk brewers reaching around 28 litres. Brew time and water supply are the other main variables: plumbed-in machines refill continuously, while tank-fed models allow flexible placement away from a water line.
Filter Coffee Machines — FAQs
How much coffee can a commercial filter machine brew at once?
Compact units brew around 1.7-3 litres per cycle suited to smaller cafés and offices, while high-volume machines for hotels or busy breakfast services can brew 5-10 litres per batch or run twin warming plates for back-to-back batches, with bulk brewers reaching around 28 litres.
Plumbed-in or tank-fed filter coffee machine?
Plumbed-in models suit high-turnover sites needing continuous brewing without refilling, while tank-fed machines offer more placement flexibility for smaller cafés or care homes without easy access to a water line.
