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.
Today Grindmaster and Cecilware present the hot powdered cappuccino and specialty beverage dispensers side by side to offer the greatest variety possible to meet the needs of the retail businesses who each have there own specific requirements. One dispenser may offer up to 10 choices of beverages at time. Another, such as the Grindmaster PIC33A hot powdered specialty drink dispenser offers different amounts for three different drinks, while the Cecilware RTS2 Bag-in-box Ready to Serve Dispenser offers a multi-flavor that mixes 5 ingredients to create 12 distinct drinks. Cecilware now offers a high volume rapid dispenser that fills at a gallon a minute. All is done to meet the needs of today’s retailers. Tomorrow, I talk more about this combination of great coffee makers and more.

Toastess Coffee Makers
The Toastess TFC42T coffee maker Twin drip comes with 2 Stainless steel mugs. This coffee maker comes from over 50 years of coffee makers experience. Like the model, TFC326, it is perfect for people who are always on the go or anyone who wants to take their coffee with them. The stainless steel mugs are only 5 ounces a piece and have non-slip grips and a tight fitting lid with an open/close tab to prevent spills.

Like the single mug coffee maker this also heats water for tea, hot chocolate, soups, hot cider and more.

This drip coffee maker uses 800 watts and weighs 4 pounds.
