AMW Banquet Brewing System AMW-60E
The American Metal Ware high volume coffee brewing and holding system provides advantages to the user in three functions: brewing, holding transferring/filling operation. Each brewing urn is equipped to brew both sides at one time; 20 gallons of coffee can be brewed within 15 minutes (10 gallons on each side). The basic brewing urn is of the Space Saver type urn, electric or steam heat. It requires connection to a source of 140°F potable hot water with a 3/8” NPT. Each urn uses a pump-type brewing sys tem with a separate sprayover pump and spay arm for each coffee liner. Additional equipment and options include:
- 2 All stainless steel coffee liner filter screens
- 2 Model BB810 brew baskets for use with paper filters
- Low water cutoff system to protect the urn and immersion heater
- Automatic refill of the water compartment
- Adjustable bypass on each spray arm
- Start/stop pushbutton brewing timers; one for each liner
- Automatic air agitation of the coffee, programmed to operate only when not using the transfer pump system
Two coffee transfer pumps with NSF approved stainless steel braid covered Teflon lined hoses to connect the brewing urn liners to a holding urn. The transfer pumps are mounted in stainless steel housings located on the left and right ends of the coffee brewing urn.
Easy access for service is provided from the front of the housing, which also contains the sprayover pumps.
Sanitary Teflon sealed ball valves connect the transfer system to the coffee brewing liners. When the valves are closed, the liners are isolated from the transfer system and holding urn.
Thus, the automatic coffee brewing urn may be used as a normal coffee urn and 10 gallons can be brewed as an individual batch at any time. Coffee is held at 180°F to 190°F by externally mounted electric heaters underneath the stainless steel bottom. Thermostatic control is provided and the 4 faucets all have a 10” clearance allowing for a rapid refill process because one person can control two faucets at a time.

Cecilware and Grindmaster Beverage Dispensers
In May, 2010 Cecilware joined the Grindmaster Corporation to become Grindmaster-Cecilware. Cecilware will celebrate being in the coffee making equipment business for 100 years next year. Cecilware was established in 1911. Its products are sold both in the United States and internationally. Cecilware was once known as a coffee machine company but due to its innovative line of products it offers customers much more. It has branched out into other areas. This includes commercial iced tea brewers and dispensers, liquid coffee dispensers and soluble beverage dispensers for lattes and cappuccinos.

Cecilware Espresso Equipment
We covered the standard features of the 2 Group Cecilware Venezia II espresso machine on Tuesday. These features apply to the 1 group, 2 group and the 3 group espresso machines as well. Once you know that you want a commercial espresso machine, there are a number of precautions that you should be aware of before you have your espresso machine. These many precautions are very important and need to be noted beforehand. These are in your manual, but it is better to have a check list so that you do not miss any of these precautions. At CoffeeMakersShop.com it’s Safety First!
These precautions include some Does and Do nots:
• Do not use the machine and turn off the power when water intake has ceased.
• When operating the machine for the first time or replacing the filter, do remove the water inlet tube and allow it to drain for about one minute in order to discharge impurities from the water.
• Do check and confirm normal water supply before turning on power.
• Do check and confirm water level registers within the green zone. Operating the machine outside the green zone may cause the electric heating element to overheat and burn out.
• After installing the machine, do check to make sure that, during water intake, the steam pressure gauge indicator is within the green zone (1~1.4bar) and the water pressure gauge indicator is also within the green zone (8~10bar). Adjust the system to the water supply pressure conditions in your area.
• The water and steam taps are used to make coffee or tea. The nozzle at the hot water outlet and the steam outlet are very hot — please do not touch.
• To avoid overheating, electric wires should be kept untangled and free of obstructions. Do not block air intake or outlet vents on the machine. Never cover or otherwise prevent the free flow of air across the cup warmer.
• Clean machine components with a soft cloth only. Do not use plastic or wire brushes.
• Do turn the power off and release all boiler pressure if the machine is to remain idle for an extended period of time. Place an appropriate quantity of ground coffee in the filter cup and tamper carefully.
• Do clean all residual coffee from the rim and sides of the filter to ensure a good seal and full pressure for steaming and to maximize service life.
• The filter basket must be connected firmly to the filter support during steaming to avoid disengagement of the handle or overflow.
• Remove the cup from the steam tube after foaming milk. Failure to do so may draw liquid from the cup into the steam tube, risking machine component contamination.
• After machine power has been switched off, always let the machine set for at least 3 seconds before restarting.
