Finding the Right Industrial Coffee Maker
Buying an industrial coffee maker can be daunting, especially if you are new to the restaurant business. The process is not that complicated and with a few guidelines you can buy the industrial coffee maker that is right for you and your business. The wrong one can cost you money and business, something you want to avoid.
Break down the process and think of it like buying a regular coffee maker for home use and you should be able to buy the right industrial coffee maker for you. The first step to do this is to ask the question, how much coffee do you need? From there it's all smooth sailing.
Different Styles and Sizes
The industrial coffee maker that you choose has to fit your needs in terms of the amount of coffee it can brew. If you end up buying a coffee maker that does not brew enough coffee in a specific amount of time you may have to go out and buy another one that will take up more space and money. It's much better to just buy one machine that will serve all your needs.
Calculate how much coffee is needed in say an hour and shop around for industrial coffee makers that will be able to fill this requirement. Take the busiest time of day in your shop or restaurant and calculate if your coffee maker will be able to handle the amount of coffee needed during your ‘rush hour'.
You also need to factor in the type of coffees you will be making. Can the coffee maker you are buying make all the types of coffee that you plan on serving? If it can't and you need an additional machine to brew just one or two types of coffee then reconsider that model. Choose something that will brew all the coffee you plan to serve.
Compare for the Best Deals
Just because you have found an industrial coffee maker that fits all your needs doesn't mean that you should go ahead and buy it. Shop around first to see that you are getting the best deal. Look at well-known brands that have been around for a while. They will probably be able to give you the best in terms of value.
Such brands will also be able to keep researching what needs to be improved and can offer innovative machines that newer companies are unable to offer. Established companies will also be able to offer the best machines for commercial use.
