Commercial Coffee Machines
Commercial coffee machines come in a variety of styles to suit different business needs. In this section, you'll find single serve machines, decanter brewers, thermal and satellite brewers, and high-volume brewers. You can also explore our dedicated coffee urn section for more options.
First, the single serve brewer: similar to home pod systems like Keurig, but built with commercial-grade components for cafés, lounges, and office use. Be sure to check compatibility, as different machines may require specific pods or K-cups.
Next are thermal brewers, airpot brewers, and satellite brewers. All three types brew into insulated containers for serving, often used in self-serve stations. The difference is that satellite brewers maintain heat when docked on the machine, while thermal and airpot brewers rely on insulation alone. Satellite brewers typically offer higher capacity and are ideal for high-traffic settings.
"Thermal brewers" may refer to systems that brew into thermal carafes or into self-serve thermoses. An "airpot" is a specific style of pump thermos, commonly used in cafes and catered events. All three systems are quite similar, with subtle differences in format and use.
Decanter brewers are the classic commercial coffee machines found in many restaurants across Canada, including places like Tim Hortons and traditional diners. They brew into glass decanters and often include multiple warmers. These are ideal for offering different blends or keeping multiple pots warm. However, decanters don’t retain freshness as long as insulated thermal, airpot, or satellite servers.
For high-demand environments, high volume coffee makers are the best choice. These units come in various styles - including thermal or urn formats - and are designed to produce large amounts of coffee quickly.
When selecting a machine, consider whether you need a "single" or "twin" configuration. This refers to the number of brewers, not the number of warmers. A machine may have multiple warmers, but if it only has one brewer, it's considered a single.
You should also consider the control type. Analog controls are simple and reliable, while digital controls allow for more precision and programmability. Touchscreen controls offer a premium experience with enhanced features.
Lastly, think about the water source. Plumbed machines (also called automatic or direct connection brewers) connect directly to your water line, making them ideal for high-volume use. Pourover brewers are manually filled, more affordable, and portable. Some plumbed machines include a pourover backup for added flexibility.
