Are you looking to make the switch from a cafetiere to a proper coffee machine at work? Maybe you've been slogging through instant coffee and are ready for something that tastes a bit less like dishwater? Or perhaps you tried using a residential coffee machine in the office, and it began to steam and hiss and smoke. And not in a good way. Time to upgrade to a commercial coffee machine in your small office / studio / gallery / creche. The first step is to check out our guide to picking a machine for your office. Use that to decide if you’d like a filter coffee machine, barista style coffee machine or bean to cup coffee machine.

Barista Style Commercial Coffee Machines

Bravilor Bonamat Mondo Filter Coffee MachineMaximum convenience and utility from the filter coffee machine industry standard

Bravilor Bonamat quick filter machines can be found everywhere. Because of their convenience, high quality and modern design, this line of products can be used anywhere fresh delicious filter coffee is needed. Because the Mondo can be manually filled with water, it can be placed virtually anywhere with power.

The two self-regulating hot plates keep the coffee at the perfect temperature even when the container isn’t totally full (indicated by the handy water indicator). The Mondo Twin can make twice as much delicious coffee, and the filling opening of the Mondo is on the front side of the machine. Convenient and ergonomic!

Bravilor Bonamat Matic Filter Coffee MachineMaximum convenience and utility from the filter coffee machine industry standard

Bravilor Bonamat quick filter machines can be found everywhere. Because of their convenience, high quality and modern design, this line of products can be used anywhere fresh delicious filter coffee is needed. Unlike the Bravilor Bonamat Mondo, the Matic connects to water mains, which means you never have worry about filling the machine.

The Matic also comes with handy LED lights to help you choose between preset quantities and to indicate when coffee is ready to go. It’ll also alert you when the coffee machine needs descaling. Integrated hot plates keep two jugs of coffee warm for hours, so you can brew up lots in the morning.

Bravilor Bonamat Novo Filter Coffee MachineA more economic option than the popular Mondo with similar features

The Bravilor Bonamat Novo is a junior cousin to the popular Mondo. You don’t need a water main nearby, as it’s got a manual-fill tank, which comes in handy for less convenient locations.

The Bravilor Novo makes coffee in a 1.7L glass decanter and has two self-regulating hot plates that adjust the temperature to the quantity of coffee in the decanter.

Bravilor Bonamat TH Series Filter Coffee MachinesQuickly filter delicious coffee into a convenient vacuum flask or airpot

The Bravilor Bonamat TH and THa filter coffee machines are the industry standard for medium-volume filter coffee machines with vacuum flasks and airpots. Great for catering and meetings, the airpots can be placed on conference tables for easy mess-free self service.

They come standard with a coffee-ready signal and descaling indicator and a stainless steel filterpan.

The TH is tank fed, while the THa model is attached to plumbing. The airpot and flasks are sold separately. Just get in touch for details.
