Coffee machine BRAVILOR BONOMAT 4.321.201.110

A round filter machine designed for continuous coffee brewing in high-volume catering, the BRAVILOR BONOMAT B20 L/R delivers freshly filtered coffee directly into a removable 20-litre container. The process relies on gravity-fed extraction: water from the mains supply passes through a heated brewing column, saturating the coffee grounds held in a replaceable filter unit. The brewed coffee then flows into the container beneath, ready for service without decanting or reheating.

Operation begins with the mains water connection, which supplies a steady flow at 3/4 inch. The machine heats the water to brewing temperature inside the column, where it meets the coffee grounds. A built-in descaling system prevents limescale build-up, maintaining consistent heat transfer and flavour. The control panel, equipped with an LCD display, allows the operator to set the brewing cycle, monitor progress, and track total and daily output via digital counters. A coffee-ready signal alerts staff when the container is full, while an integrated clock enables timed brewing for peak service periods. Safety mechanisms, including thermal cut-outs and overfill protection, are standard.

To use, the operator loads the filter unit with fresh coffee grounds, positions the 20-litre container beneath the brewing column, and selects the desired programme on the control panel. The machine draws water from the mains, heats it, and begins extraction. Once brewing is complete, the container can be removed and replaced with an empty one, allowing continuous service without interruption. The trip-tray beneath the container catches any spillage, keeping the worktop clean.

Construction is stainless steel and engineered plastics, chosen for durability and ease of cleaning. The brewing column, base, and container are all removable for maintenance. The control panel includes buttons for power, programme selection, and descaling initiation. The LCD display shows brewing status, time remaining, and maintenance alerts.

The 400 V power requirement means the machine connects to a three-phase supply, typical in professional kitchens with high electrical loads. The 20-litre container capacity allows bulk brewing for banquet service, buffets, or large cafés, reducing the need for frequent refills. The footprint of 739 mm wide, 600 mm deep, and 947 mm high fits under standard worktop heights when the container is removed, though the machine is designed to stand on the floor.

Cleaning involves regular descaling, which the machine prompts via the control panel. The filter unit, brewing column, and container are all removable and dishwasher-safe. The trip-tray slides out for emptying and wiping down. The mains water connection eliminates the need for manual filling, but the inlet should be checked periodically for debris.

Variants include the option of a hot water tap for tea or instant beverages, and the machine can be configured with the 20-litre container on the left or right side of the brewing column. An HW-series upgrade is available, though not specified in this model.

This filter machine is categorised under bulk coffee brewing equipment, positioned for establishments requiring consistent, large-volume coffee service without the complexity of espresso machines.
