Hotels & Conference Centres
How much coffee do you need to serve?
Selecting the right coffee machines for hotels and conference centres depends on various factors like the size of the hotel, the expected demand for coffee, and the level of automation desired.
Here are some popular options:
• Traditional Espresso Machines: Ideal for higher-end hotels with a focus on quality. These machines require skilled baristas and offer a wide range of espresso-based drinks. They add a touch of sophistication to your hotel’s coffee offerings.
• Bean-to-Cup Machines: These machines grind whole coffee beans and brew coffee on demand. They are suitable for hotels with moderate to high coffee demand and offer consistency in taste. They require minimal training.
• Filter Coffee Machines or Bulk Brewers: Ideal for hotels serving a large number of guests during breakfast or conferences. They brew large quantities of coffee quickly and are easy to operate. They are cost-effective and require minimal maintenance.
Traditional Espresso Machines
Commercial traditional espresso machines are the workhorses of many coffee shops, cafes, and upscale hotels. They’re designed to produce high-quality espresso consistently, meeting the demands of a busy environment.
Size and Capacity – Commercial espresso machines vary in size and capacity, with larger models capable of holding more water and accommodating more group heads. Choose a size that suits your space and expected demand.
Manual vs. Semi-Automatic vs. Automatic – Commercial espresso machines come in different configurations. Manual machines require the barista to control the extraction process manually, while semi-automatic machines automate certain aspects of the process. Automatic machines handle the entire brewing process with minimal intervention required.

Filter Coffee & Bulk Brewing
Bulk coffee brewers are designed to efficiently brew large quantities of coffee to meet the demands of hotel guests, particularly during breakfast service and other peak periods like meetings and conferences.
• Batch Size – Bulk coffee brewers typically have large brewing capacities, ranging from a few litres to 10 gallons or more per batch. This allows hotels to brew enough coffee to serve multiple guests or groups at once.
• Brewing Method – These brewers usually use a drip or pour-over method to brew coffee in bulk. Water is heated and then dispersed over a bed of ground coffee in a filter basket, extracting flavor and producing a large quantity of brewed coffee.
• Thermal Dispensers – After brewing, the coffee is typically transferred to insulated thermal dispensers or airpots to keep it hot and fresh for an extended period. This allows hotels to serve coffee continuously without the need for reheating or brewing smaller batches throughout the day.

Hot Water Boilers
Water boilers for hot drinks like tea are essential equipment for establishments such as hotels, cafes, restaurants, and offices where hot beverages are served regularly. These boilers are designed to quickly and efficiently heat water to the desired temperature for brewing tea, instant coffee, hot chocolate, and other hot beverages.
• Capacity – Water boilers come in various sizes to accommodate different capacities, ranging from small countertop models suitable for cafes to larger units for high-volume establishments like hotels or conference centers. The capacity should be chosen based on the expected demand for hot drinks.
• Speed – Water boilers should heat water quickly to minimize waiting times for customers or guests. High-speed boilers with rapid heating capabilities are ideal for busy environments where efficiency is essential.
