Types of Coffee Makers

Automatic coffee makers must be attached to a direct water line. By hooking directly up to a water line, these units eliminate the need to constantly fill your machine’s water tank, which allows you to serve your customers faster.

Output: 40 to 240 cups per hour

Best for: diners, offices, and convenience stores

Pourover coffee makers do not need to be attached to water lines, so you will need to fill the machine’s reservoir with water for each brew. These units are portable and easy to set up without any major installation or plumbing procedures required.

Output: 55 to 65 cups per hour

Best for: offices, break rooms, and convenience stores

Espresso machines are a type of specialty coffee maker that brew fresh espresso that you can serve as a shot or use as a base to make a variety of specialty coffee drinks. There are manual, semi-automatic, automatic, and super-automatic espresso machines that give a range of control over the brewing process.

Output: (240 to 720) 4 oz. demitasse cups per hour

Best for: coffee shops, cafes, sandwich shops, and restaurants

Liquid coffee dispensers use a bag-in-box system for fast dispensing from a direct water line, making it quick and easy to load and dispense coffee. Because there is no brewing required, these dispensers eliminate labor costs associated with the frequent brewing and oversight of traditional coffee brewers.

Output: 62 1/2 to 400 cups per hour

Best for: cafeterias, hospitals, convenience stores, and buffets

During the French press brewing process, the coffee grounds stay in contact with the water throughout the entire brewing period. A French press filters the brew directly through a metal mesh filter, which allows the essential oils found in the grounds to remain in the brew. The result is stronger, richer coffee with a more aromatic flavor.

Output: 1 to 4 cups at a time

Best for: restaurants, cafes, coffee shops, bakeries, and vacation rentals

A Vietnamese coffee press, or phin, consists of four parts: a perforated filter plate, a brew chamber, a perforated filter press, and a lid to keep the heat in. It typically brews into a cup that is filled with a small amount of sweetened condensed milk or coconut milk.

Output: 1 cup at a time

Best for: coffee shops, bakeries, restaurants, and cafes
