Coffee machines with built-in grinders combine the flavour of fresh coffee with an automated brewing process — ideal for places where both coffee quality and minimal staff involvement are important. Hotels, offices and conference centres are increasingly choosing this solution as an alternative to capsule machines and manual espresso machines.
Coffee machine with grinder range
The Fresh Ground series consists of appliances that grind fresh beans and prepare filtered coffee. The filtered method provides a large cup volume and cost-effective coffee — an ideal solution for hotel breakfast buffets, school canteens and corporate offices with higher coffee consumption.
The FRESH MORE series features multi-beverage machines with several canisters — coffee, milk powder, chocolate and other ingredients allow the preparation of cappuccino, coffee with milk, hot chocolate and other drinks. This solution is suitable for places where a wide range of beverages is needed in a self-service format.
Most suitable usage scenarios
Hotel buffets and breakfast areas, where a large number of guests want coffee in self-service mode, use FRESH GROUND for large coffee service. FRESH MORE is more suitable for hotels where guests also expect cappuccino and other milk-based drinks.
Corporate offices with an open coffee corner benefit from automatic grinder machines that do not require constant staff supervision. FRESH GROUND provides simple coffee for a large team, while FRESH MORE offers a wider selection.
Restaurants and school canteens use these appliances due to their high capacity — a large flow of people in a short time requires stable and fast service.
How to choose between FRESH GROUND and FRESH MORE
The main criterion is the required beverage range. If filtered coffee in one or two strength levels is sufficient, FRESH GROUND is a simpler and adequate solution. If cappuccino, milk-based drinks or hot chocolate are also needed, FRESH MORE provides a wider selection with its multi-canister system.
The second aspect is usage intensity and capacity — the BHS team can provide a detailed comparison for a specific usage scenario and help choose the most suitable model.
- Assess the required beverage range — filtered coffee or a wider selection with milk-based drinks
- Compare FRESH GROUND and FRESH MORE by capacity and model range
- Plan regular accessories from the moment of purchase
- Consult with BHS on installation requirements
Accessories for optimal operation
Coffee machines with grinders require regular accessories — water filters, cleaning tablets and solutions. Regular maintenance ensures consistent coffee quality and extends the appliance’s service life.
Advantages of freshly ground coffee over coffee capsules
A coffee machine with grinder provides fundamentally different coffee quality compared to capsule machines or instant coffee — fresh beans are ground immediately before brewing, preserving aromas that quickly fade during the storage of pre-ground coffee. For hotels and conference centres, where coffee is part of the guest experience and service quality standards, the flavour of freshly ground coffee is a noticeable advantage over capsules, which guests appreciate and remember. The FRESH GROUND and FRESH MORE series ensure this quality in a self-service format.
Grinder maintenance and coffee flavour consistency
Regular maintenance of appliances with grinders is directly linked to coffee flavour consistency — worn or dirty grinders result in uneven grinding, which affects extraction strength and flavour. It is recommended to follow the manufacturer’s specified grinder cleaning interval and prevent the build-up of coffee oils on the grinder surface. The BHS service team performs BRAVILOR BONAMAT appliance grinder maintenance and replacement.
Coffee machine with grinder for the corporate sector
Beyond hotels and restaurants, coffee machines with grinders are also in demand in corporate offices and educational institutions, where employees expect quality coffee from an automatic solution. A FRESH GROUND or FRESH MORE machine in the office kitchen reduces the time spent on coffee preparation and ensures consistent quality throughout the working day. BHS offers the most suitable models based on the location’s workload and coffee culture requirements.
Water filtration for coffee machine with grinder operation
Water quality affects not only coffee flavour but also the appliance’s service life. Hard water forms scale in heating systems and coffee pathways, which gradually reduces the appliance’s efficiency. Regular water filter replacement according to the manufacturer’s recommendations protects the appliance from scale and ensures stable coffee quality.
Frequently asked questions
How often should coffee beans be replaced in the machine?
The frequency of coffee bean refills depends on the appliance’s hopper capacity and daily consumption. It is not recommended to keep the hopper full for a long time — coffee beans lose aroma due to temperature fluctuations. Store only a day’s supply near the appliance, and the rest in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
Can one service specialist handle both FRESH GROUND and FRESH MORE?
Yes — both models belong to the BRAVILOR BONAMAT manufacturer’s appliance range, and the BHS service team is trained to work with both. A single maintenance contract covers regular inspection and repair of both FRESH GROUND and FRESH MORE appliances.
