Tea and Coffee Pots

A tea pot is the central element of tea culture – it is used not only to serve tea but also to show guests attentive and careful service. A coffee pot at breakfast or banquets ensures the availability of hot drinks without constant staff intervention. BHS offers tea and coffee pots for various HoReCa applications across Europe.

Types and materials of tea pots

Porcelain tea pots – classic, elegant, available in white and various colours to match the establishment’s style. Cast iron tea pots (tetsubin) – excellent heat retention, an authentic style of Japanese tea tradition, suitable for specialty tea bars. Glass tea pots – with a built-in infuser for brewing, allowing you to observe the tea’s colour unfold, attractive for premium tea service. Stainless steel pots – durable, easy to clean, long-lasting for intensive HoReCa use. Bamboo and ceramic pots – natural design for boutique cafés and tea shops. Pots with a filter or infuser allow loose tea to be brewed directly in the pot without additional serving accessories.

Coffee pots for the breakfast area

Stainless steel coffee pots – the standard for hotel breakfasts, durable, with a heavier base to prevent tipping. Thermos-type coffee pots with insulation – keep coffee warm for 2–4 hours without reheating, ideal for long breakfast services. Glass coffee pots – most commonly used with a coffee machine carafe plate or in espresso machines. Electric kettles are an alternative to traditional pots for quick hot water preparation. BHS offers coffee pots for various breakfast and buffet formats in Europe.

HACCP and hygiene

Pots should be cleaned regularly with specialised cleaning agents – coffee oils and tea pigments build up on the walls and affect the drink’s flavour. Cast iron pots should not be left wet – they must be dried immediately after washing. Glass pots with infusers should be disassembled and the infuser cleaned separately. Porcelain pots are suitable for dishwashers, but sensitive decorative prints may fade over time – use neutral pH programmes. BHS offers pots made from HACCP compliant, food-safe materials.

Frequently asked questions

Which coffee pot should be chosen for a hotel breakfast area? For a hotel breakfast area, a stainless steel coffee pot with a thermos function (0.6–1.5 L) is ideal, keeping coffee warm without reheating. A stable base and ergonomic handle are important for intensive service.

Are cast iron tea pots suitable for dishwashers? No – cast iron pots should be washed by hand with a soft sponge and dried immediately. Dishwasher water and detergents can damage the cast iron surface and promote rusting. Proper care of cast iron pots extends their service life for years.
