When you are looking for a commercial coffee maker for your office or business, the double coffee pot will brew 20 cups of coffee at a time. Krups is the leader in this design of coffee maker with the twin thermal coffee pot. It is a larger machine with two stainless steel thermal carafes each capable of holding 10 cups of coffee. The double walls of the carafe help to keep the coffee hot and fresh for hours without wasting electricity keeping the flat bottom warm. If you work in a business where you serve coffee to customers, you can take the carafe with you and still know that the customers will have their beverage hot every time.
This coffee pot has a drip free pour so there is no danger of coffee dripping onto the customers and the Stop n' Serve feature lets you remove the pot from the machine for 20 seconds at a time without having the coffee drip all over the place. If you wish you can brew tea in one carafe and coffee in the other, or use one for hot water only. The brew-through lid remains in place while the coffee maker is brewing the grinds and it also stays in place when the brew is complete to keep in the heat and the flavour. The swing out filter holder makes it very easy for you to add the coffee grinds or tea bags depending on what you are serving.
You can also get a combination espresso machine and regular coffee percolator from Krups. This is the ultimate in a coffee maker where you can have espresso, cappuccino or regular coffee in one carafe and regular coffee in the other. You simply select the type of coffee that you wish to brew, but it is important that you use the proper grinds for each one. Espresso and cappuccino take really fine coffee grinds, whereas regular coffee grinds are coarse. There is a steam pressurized system that goes to work when you select espresso and the attachment helps to froth the milk. This is not a commercial machine though and is designed for home use. It can make from 2 to 4 cups of espresso into the carafe or directly into the cups.
