Grindmaster Digital PrecisionBrew Shuttle Brewer PBVSA-330
This week covers reviews of commercial coffee making products. Today, the review is on the Grindmaster Model PBVSA-330, which is a single, digitally controlled brewer that comes with a classic 1.5 gallon stainless steel, air-insulated, radiant heat Shuttle. Brew variables that are programmable through the front display include the water temperature, the brew volume, the pulse brewing sequence, by bypass percentage and the low temp/no brew. The brewer will hold the water temperature to plus or minus 1°F during the complete brew cycle. The brewer has three brew volumes from ½ gallon to 1½ gallons. Each volume can be set by ‘teach” mode to eliminate trial-and-error set up. Pulse brewing, also called pre-infusion all the brew sequence to extract up to 20% more dissolved solids per batch of coffee. The bypass adjustment is for large and medium brew volumes; this programs up to 33% of the total brew volume to bypass the coffee grounds. Changing the percentage of bypass does not affect the brew volume. The low temperature/no brew allows the brew cycle to begin only when the water has reached optimum temperature. This choice is made by a program switch for on or off. The cycle counter counts the total number of brew cycles. All these brewing choices can be “locked” to prevent tampering.
In addition the brew baskets are automatically locked in- place during the entire brew cycle. The front panel will also note any water or heater failures immediately. A flared 3/8” copper water line is required with a minimum of 30 psi (pounds per square inch). In addition, an electrical shut off box must be installed close to the brewer. The hot water faucet at the front of the brewer can be used for tea, hot chocolate, instant hot cider or soup. Using this faucet does not affect the brew volume. Therefore, you can continually use the faucet like a hot water dispenser.
This digital PrecisionBrew shuttle brewer runs on a 120/240 volt option at 6600 watts and pulls 28 amps or on a 120/208 volt option at 5000 watts and pulls 24 amps. This brewer weighs 55 pounds, measures 28” high, 9” wide and 18” deep. It comes with a 2 year parts and labor on the brewer and a 4 year warranty on the control board. While these are relatively short periods of time, your Grindmaster brewer has been know to work well for many more years.
Grindmaster Precision Brew Digital Decanter / Airpot Brewer B-SAP
The title for this commercial brewer may seem a little strange, but it is appropriate. The Grindmaster precision single brewer B-SAP will brew into a decanter or and an airpot. In fact, it will brew into a 64 oz. airpot or an 85 oz. airpot. These airpot will hold freshly brewed coffee hot for hours without any additional heat. That means that the precise brew temperature will hold the brew temperature to ±1°F during the complete brew cycle and deposit it into a brewer without losing any heat. The brewing process for a 64 oz. airpot will take between 3 and 5 minutes depending on what strength of coffee you choose; the longer the brew time the stronger the coffee. The brewers are glass lined with either a push top or a lever top to dispense the coffee. The 85 oz. airpot comes only as a put top.
The decanters are 12 cup glass coffee decanters. These are where the coffee will be drunk in a short period of time. And, these decanters will need a warmer to keep the coffee hot. The decanters are sold separately from the brewer as are the airpots. When it comes to hot coffee that needs to stay hot without a warmer these decanters are the answer.
Cecilware Coffee Equipment
This is a continuation of the announcement that Coffeemakersshop.com will be adding Cecilware coffee making products to its shop.
Cecilware’s Century 2000 Analog Pour-Over commercial Decanter brewers feature four unique styles.
● Pour-over brewers are perfect for when a water line in not available. Just pour cold water into the brewer’s reservoir and the coffee brewer will automatically and instantly brew a fresh pot of coffee. With the pour-over brewer’s large water tank, you can continually brew decanter after decanter of coffee without loss of water temperature.
● Automatic Brewers with Pour-Over Backup System allows for water line disruption (except in “G” models). The Century brewer’s “built-in” separate hot water system eliminates an interrupted brew cycle. And, it is designed with a safety flow hot water faucet. This allows you to offer your customers piping hot tea, cocoa or other soluble products without affecting the brew cycle.
● Automatic Gravity Feed Brewers with Hot Water Tap is designed for brewing locations where low water pressure occurs. This system also assures accurately brewed coffee because this system gives you constant water pressure, which eliminates “short potting.”
● Digital Brewers are the only microprocessor driven system that gives you more than just coffee.
What Happened to Coffee in America?
From the time of the first Turkish Ibrik, coffee makers developed through various kinds of coffee makers. In the early 1800s, the first really new way of preparing coffee occurred. Coffee was now ground in shops or manually operated coffee grinders in the home. Fifty years later, coffee was made in an American-made percolator. The grounds were put in a container above the water and a hollow stem pumped hot water up and over the grounds. Other early coffeemakers at this time were the vacuum glass pots method and espresso machines. All of these became electric models of coffee percolators, various drip coffee makers and espresso machines. Electric commercial coffee brewers and manual espresso machines grew in popularity. Tomorrow, how is coffee made and served today.

What Happened to Coffee in America?
The Faema Company introduces a very revolutionary machine, the E61 – the first heat exchanger, rotary pump driven espresso machine in 1960. This was the first of many ‘firsts’ that are still commonly found in updating most espresso machines today; but, more about that later.
The Mellitta Bentz Company, in 1960, began creating subsidiaries in Europe, Canada and in Cherry Hill, PA in 1963. This company developed paper coffee filters in 1936 and began selling their patented conical fast-drip filters in the U.S. for pubs and restaurants. Since the company was in Germany, filter paper production was suspended until 1947. Testing later proved that their filters did and still do create a healthier cup of coffee; since then modifications have continued to improved the filters even more. The Raparlier coffee maker featured a filter made of hemp. This style of Hydropneumatic coffee maker was used as late as the 1960′s. Founded in 1957, Bunn-O-Matic Corporation introduced the first paper coffee filter made in America and in 1963 they introduced the first ‘pourover’ coffee maker for commercial purposes. Next week? You guessed it; more about coffee and coffee makers in the 1970s.
