RLX with Thermos is the most energy-efficient variant in the RLX SERIES — the insulated thermos container keeps coffee warm longer without continuous electric heating. In restaurants, event centres and catering businesses, this model is popular when coffee is brewed in one place and served in another, or when energy saving is a priority.
RLX with Thermos features
The insulated thermos container maintains coffee temperature longer than a glass carafe on a warming plate, without consuming additional electricity for heating. Coffee in a thermos does not lose heat as quickly as in an open container.
This model is suitable for advance brewing — a restaurant or event centre can prepare coffee before the event starts and store it in the thermos until serving time.
Most suitable usage scenarios
Event centres and catering services use RLX with Thermos to transport coffee from the brewing location to the event or offer coffee in places without electricity.
Restaurants with a coffee station for table service use the thermos variant so staff can bring coffee to the table in a thermos instead of a glass carafe.
How to choose between RLX variants
RLX with Thermos is ideal if coffee needs to be kept warm for a long time without electricity or transported. For a busy café pace with frequent brewing, RLX with Glass Decanter may be more practical. RLX with Container offers a middle ground between the two. The BHS team helps with the choice.
- Assess whether coffee needs to be transported or brewed on-site
- Consider energy saving — a thermos does not require continuous heating
- Consult with BHS on the most suitable RLX variant
Accessories
RLX with Thermos requires Accessories for RLX Series — water filters and cleaning supplies.
RLX with Thermos for event catering
Event caterers and outdoor event organisers use RLX with Thermos as an ideal coffee solution — the machine prepares coffee at the brewing location, and the coffee is taken in a thermos to the serving point. The thermos’s heat retention ensures coffee stays warm and fresh for longer without continuous electric heating. Event caterers, who work in various locations, appreciate the thermos variant’s mobility and energy efficiency.
Advantages of a thermos for coffee storage
An insulated thermos container maintains coffee temperature much better than a glass carafe on a warming plate. Coffee in a thermos does not lose heat as quickly and is not overheated, which can negatively affect the coffee’s taste over time. In restaurants and conference centres, where coffee is brewed in advance before an event starts, the thermos variant ensures optimal coffee temperature and freshness at serving time.
RLX with Thermos maintenance and longevity
RLX with Thermos requires regular preventive maintenance — cleaning the brewing system, changing the water filter and disinfecting the thermos. The thermos’s inner surface must be cleaned regularly of coffee oil residues to ensure the coffee’s flavour purity. BHS provides BRAVILOR BONAMAT RLX machine maintenance and accessory supply.
Purchasing RLX with Thermos
Purchasing RLX with Thermos from BHS includes consultation on matching the thermos capacity to the coffee volume and usage scenario. BHS helps determine whether the thermos variant is optimal or another RLX model — with container or glass decanter — would better suit the specific application. Businesses can contact BHS for RLX with Thermos purchase and receive full implementation support.
Coffee in a thermos for conference and meeting rooms
In conference centres and meeting rooms, thermos coffee is a convenient solution — a filled thermos is placed on a table or buffet area, and participants pour coffee themselves without staff involvement. RLX with Thermos ensures coffee in this format stays warm throughout the meeting or conference break without continuous machine presence. BHS helps conference centres choose the right thermos capacity variant.
Thermos coffee at tasting events
At wine and gastronomy tasting events, where coffee is a natural conclusion to the offering, RLX with Thermos provides convenient coffee service without the machine’s presence in the serving area. Coffee is brewed in a separate room using the RLX machine and then taken in a thermos to the tasting area, where it stays warm and fresh for the duration of the event. This format allows careful planning of coffee serving time and ensures quality coffee without disruptive machine noise or odour in the tasting environment. BHS helps event organisers choose the right thermos capacity based on the expected number of guests and event duration.
Frequently asked questions
How long does coffee stay warm in a thermos?
A well-insulated thermos keeps coffee warm for 2–4 hours. The exact time depends on the thermos quality and ambient temperature. BHS helps select the most suitable thermos capacity.
Can RLX with Thermos be used outdoors?
The machine itself requires electricity, but coffee can be taken in a thermos to any serving location after brewing. Event caterers actively use this format.
