Solutions for Coffee Bar Stations

Solutions for Coffee Bar Stations — equipping a coffee station is more than just a coffee machine table; it is a complete work environment for efficient barista operations; properly selected elements reduce barista movement distances, speed up service and improve workplace hygiene in HoReCa businesses.

Coffee machine table — the foundation of the station

Solutions for Coffee Bar Stations — the coffee machine table surface is the first and main element of a coffee station. Stainless steel surface — stainless steel is the ideal material for a coffee station table; resistant to heat, moisture, coffee and milk splashes; easy to disinfect. Stability — a coffee machine is heavy equipment; the table surface must withstand a load of 50–100 kg; explore the coffee machine table. Height — the optimal height for a coffee station table is 850–900 mm; this corresponds to a comfortable working height for baristas in a standing position; 870 mm is optimal for most baristas. Electrical channels — some models include built-in electrical channels for convenient equipment connection.

Drainage shelf and sink

Solutions for Coffee Bar Stations — liquid is constantly present in a coffee station — coffee, milk, water; a drainage shelf ensures cleanliness and prevents liquid accumulation on the table surface. Drainage shelf with a grate — the grate above the drain directs fine coffee splashes and excess water to the outlet. Tank or drainage — in small stations, drainage is collected in a separate tank that is regularly emptied; in larger stations, drainage is connected to the sewage system; explore the bar station. Sink — a compact single-section sink is suitable for a small coffee station for rinsing glasses; explore solutions for bar stations.

Coffee station equipment in HoReCa usage scenarios

Solutions for Coffee Bar Stations — the design of coffee stations varies depending on the type of business and customer flow. Café with high customer flow — an efficient station with rational minimisation of barista movement; all elements are accessible within 1–2 steps. Hotel breakfast area — a service coffee station with a milk frother and drainage shelf; quickly prepares a large number of coffee cups during breakfast. Office coffee corner — a compact coffee station with a coffee machine table, glass rack and drainage shelf in a convenient office coffee area; BHS provides the project. Restaurant bar coffee zone — in a restaurant, the coffee station is integrated into the bar area; the barista work zone is separated from the bartender zone; both use a shared sink or each has their own; optimal zoning speeds up service and prevents cross-flow. BHS offers coffee station solutions for HoReCa businesses across Europe.
