Best Coffee Makers

Best Coffee Makers Information

My husband and I are very involved in our church community. He is a member of the parish council and I am on the parish life committee. This committee sponsors and coordinates all the events in the parish that are not part of the weekly liturgy. Our main focus is to improve our parish community by sponsoring social as well as educational events. Because most of our events involve some type of refreshments, we were assigned the task of finding the best coffee makers to have in the kitchen area of the parish center, as well as the small conference room kitchen.

The majority of our events involve fifty or more people. This means that we need to have coffee pots that are able to make many cups to serve all at once. The kitchen was stocked with one hundred cup coffee pots, but these are not the best coffee makers because they take so long to perk, and the coffee tastes bitter if it stands for any length of time. We decided that a sub committee of three would go to a local restaurant supplier and try to find out the bestcoffeemakers for our situation. I love coffee and I am quite picky about how it tastes, so I volunteered to be on the committee.

Best Coffee Makers Advice

I and two other parishioners went to the supplier. They had several industrial size coffee makers to choose from. We explained that we need the pots for smaller gatherings of thirty to sixty people as well as large gatherings of over one hundred. We wanted the best coffee makers for both gatherings. We also wanted to be able to offer both regular and decaffeinated coffee. The supplier showed us a large Bunn coffee maker that had two sides. Each side could make fifty to one hundred cups of coffee. There is a heating element that preheats the water so the coffee gets done in about two minutes. The pot needs to be warmed for about one hour prior to beginning the process of brewing, but once it is heated it can make pot after pot. We thought that this sounded like the bestcoffeemakers for our needs; however it does have to be hooked to the plumbing.  One of the other committee members did not think this would be an issue. We liked the idea that no one would have to be lifting heavy pots.

We brought the information back to the full committee and we decided to go with the large pots for the kitchen and a smaller version for the conference room.
