Introducing
The Contenta/Cafitesse 50 forms the low-end extension of the liquid coffee
concentrate brewer range. Serving the ‘small’ segment of the out-of-home market, it
is designed for outlets with an average coffee consumption of 45 cups per day
without significant consumption peaks.
Entering a large and competitive market the Coffee dispenser sets a new standard
with its distinctive features as compared to conventional pour-over coffee service; it
excels in convenience, speed, constant product quality and design.
The Contenta/Cafitesse 50 design is geared towards convenience. It delivers ( 1 )
coffee either in a cup or pot that comes with the machine (additional pots are
available as an accessory) and (
2 ) hot water for tea or instant drinks.
In effect, the Coffee dispenser is a smaller liquid coffee brewer and the technical
aspects in this manual are quite similar to that of the larger ‘Cafitesse’ brewers.
OCS
To exploit the mentioned inherent qualities the Contenta/Cafitesse 50 is placed in
the framework of the ‘Office Coffee Service’-concept (OCS). The concentrated
coffee and other ingredients are distributed directly to the customer by a service/
sales representative, who also performs relevant preventive maintenance tasks,
such as boiler exchange for descaling.
Extensive and/or time-consuming repairs and maintenance, such as preventive
boiler decalcification is basically done in a central workshop. The customer will
benefit from this system, as it greatly reduces the machine-down time.
The efficiency of this system is also warranted by the modular and straight-forward
construction of the dispenser.
