Pricing and Costs of Commercial Use Coffee Warmers

Compare pricing and costs of commercial use coffee warmers

Coffee warmer manufacturers know that the popularity of high scale gourmet coffee shops has caused more people to grab their coffee to go as they head for work. Yet, when the weekend approaches, many still enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and convenience of sit-down coffee shops with coffee their brewing stations that feature high quality commercial coffee warmers.

Restaurant owners choose different models of coffee machines based upon the size and style of their business. Factors that affect the pricing and costs of commercial use coffee warmers include the following:

1. Expect to pay higher prices for a coffee warmer that makes coffee rather than one that just warms already brewed coffee.

2. Look for great prices on coffee warmers that hold a glass carafe rather than those designed to dispense coffee from a spigot or faucet.

3. Consider different prices for coffee brewers with built-in water lines as opposed to those that depend upon water added manually.

Before you can decide how much to budget, you must know about the different methods for brewing coffee that certain models offer. Consider the volume of your coffee business, such as the number of cups you serve at one time and your preferred beverage dispenser, such as a standard 12-cup pot or a three-gallon urn.

Portable coffee warmers and servers run from $100 to $350, not including the main brewing station, and allow you to brew the coffee in one location and serve large quantities that are kept warm in another location. Coffee brewers that have built-in warmers for 12-cup carafes cost between $300 and $1200, depending of the number of brewers and warmers. A commercial coffee warmer that has one or two burners that warm 12-cup carafes separate from the brewing station will cost between $40 and $150.

Consider commercial coffee warmers and brewers that dispense single servings

Coffee pod brewers cost anywhere from $30-$60 for a unit for a home or small office, up to several hundred for one meant for commercial use. The benefit of this type of machine is that users can make a single cup of their choice of beverage, choosing from several flavors of coffee, tea and hot cocoa. A drawback is that the cost per serving is higher than traditional drip coffee makers.
