Coffee machine BRAVILOR BONOMAT 4.150.640.110

A round filter coffee machine designed for continuous service on board ships brews large volumes of coffee by gravity filtration. Hot water from a built-in heater drips through a paper filter filled with ground coffee, extracting flavour and aroma as it passes. The filtered coffee collects in insulated containers below, keeping it at serving temperature without further heating that can scorch the brew. This method produces a clean, sediment-free cup at a steady rate, matching the demand of a crew or passenger service without the peaks and troughs of manual brewing.

The operator fills the filter basket with ground coffee, places a paper filter inside, and closes the lid. A mains water connection supplies cold water, which the machine heats to the set temperature. The digital display shows the selected programme; the built-in timer starts the brewing cycle automatically, so the operator can attend to other tasks. A coffee-ready signal sounds when the containers are full, and the total and day counters log the number of batches for inventory control. The descaling system alerts the user when maintenance is due, preventing scale build-up that can reduce heating efficiency and water flow.

The machine is built in stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion in a marine environment and for its durability under constant use. The exterior remains cool to the touch, reducing the risk of burns in confined spaces. Two 5-litre containers allow the machine to hold a reserve of coffee while a fresh batch brews, ensuring a continuous supply. A wall mounting bracket secures the unit against movement caused by the ship's motion, and the compact footprint fits into the limited space available in galleys.

Controls include a digital display for setting the brewing programme, a timer for unattended operation, and counters for tracking usage. The coffee-ready signal is both visual and audible, ensuring it is noticed even in noisy engine rooms. The descaling system is automatic, requiring only the addition of descaling solution when prompted.

The voltage requirement of 440 V three-phase or 230 V single-phase matches the electrical systems found on commercial vessels. The 3.7 kW power rating indicates the load on the ship's supply, which must be accounted for when planning the galley's electrical layout. The 3/4-inch water connection is standard for mains water supplies, allowing the machine to be plumbed directly into the ship's water system without adapters. The overall dimensions of 635 mm wide, 440 mm deep and 799 mm high determine the space it occupies on a worktop or bulkhead.

Cleaning involves rinsing the filter basket and containers after each use to prevent coffee oils from turning rancid. The descaling system prompts the user to run a cleaning cycle at regular intervals, removing mineral deposits that can clog the water pathways. The stainless steel surfaces wipe clean with a damp cloth, and the paper filters are disposable, eliminating the need for back-flushing or deep cleaning of the brewing chamber.

The B5 model is part of the B series, which includes machines with capacities of 5, 10, 20 and 40 litres. This variant is equipped with one brewing system and two 5-litre containers, making it suitable for smaller crews or as a secondary machine in larger galleys. The marine-specific design ensures reliable operation in conditions of high humidity, salt air and constant motion.
