Commercial Beverage Equipment and Supplies

Take advantage of the coffee trend with hot beverage equipment Coffee is the most popular drink in the world. It is available in restaurants, convenience stores, and even hospitals. Today, along with traditional coffee makers, many companies offer specialty coffee machines for espresso and cappuccino. Along with gourmet coffee, exotic teas are another aspect of the hot beverage market that continues to rapidly grow.

I recommend:  Keep coffee hot with air pots from Zesco.com, which carries a complete line of coffee accessories, including mugs, beverage signs and paper goods. Don't forget the tea accessories. BeverageFactory.com sells teapots, teacups and tea racks. They also carry espresso and coffee makers. CupDepot.com and the Hormel Corporation both carry an extensive line of commercial beverage equipment and supplies.

Upsell soda, juice and frozen drinks with fountain drink machines Fountain drink machines are the perfect way to distribute non-alcoholic beverages. Widely used in fast food restaurants, convenience stores and institutions, fountain drink machines keep beverages chilled and ready to serve. Frozen fountain drink machines can serve up classic drinks, such as slush puppies or more exotic drinks, like grantia and margaritas.

I recommend:  Kanawati Enterprises is a leader in fountain drink machines. Along with frozen drinks, they offer machines for coffee, espresso and soda. The Restaurant Source carries industrial blenders and ice makers.

Don't forget the beer Nothing tastes worse than warm, foamy beer, which can be avoided with the proper glycol system. Glycol keeps beer cold and fresh and customers happy. Along with a glycol system, other beverage equipment a restaurant bar needs includes hydraulic guns for soft drinks and beer towers for pouring pints.

I recommend:  Berg Beer Systems carries complete beer tap systems, guaranteed to keep liquids at a consistent temperature, which is vital for fresh-tasting beer. Wunder Bar is another vendor of beverage equipment, including beer systems and wine dispensers.
