Semi / Automatic Thermoblock (#)
„A class of espresso machine that relies on a thermoblock (similar to how a liquid heating radiator works) for brew water and for steam production. Thermoblocks are usually found in budget espresso machines and in many super automatics (not covered by this classification).“

„Instead, a thermoblock unit maintains a continuous water temperature by pumping it through a heated coil to arrive at the brew temperature. This thermoblock unit allows you to get continuous cups of coffee, allows you to add water as it brews, and, after use, it empties itself so water doesn't stale in the brewing system. The housing is made of heavy black plastic and includes a warming tray. Cuisinart provides it's own style of frother attachment.“

„Also see if you can test the machine's heat ability in store (or if the store has a good return policy, take it home to try out). You can do this by sticking a needle therm in the brew basket as it fills with hot water (grounds will slow down the flow), but that isn't a very accurate way of telling. Take a calibrated digital thermal reader measuring device (or find some engineering geek who will lend you one) and do proper temperature tests.“

„In filter and drip systems, avoid brewing less than the brewer's full capacity. If the pot is made to brew six cups, the coffee will taste better if you brew the full six.“

Tea & Coffee 10/04 - The Right Tea Equipment for Your Needs
„Airpot Brewers: For a self-serve location, I like to brew hot tea into airpots using an airpot brewer. This type of equipment is ideal for the operator who has minimal staff and wants to brew a variety of teas in large volume for customers to serve themselves. I usually recommend that the operator serve a full variety of individual teas, but feature two to four unique teas that customers can serve themselves.“

„There is no such thing as a 'fast' coffee brewer. A good drip brewer will turn out 4 to 6 small mugs of hot coffee in about 5 to 7 minutes. Why, you ask? The ideal rate of extraction and the brewing temperature are kind of tied together.“
