BOYD COFFEE COMPANY INTRODUCES THE MULTI-FUNCTION BREWER

Available exclusively from Boyds, this brewer represents the very latest in brewing technology.

January 4, 2010

Multi-Function BrewerBoyd Coffee Company, a family owned and operated purveyor of fine coffee, tea and foodservice equipment nationwide, introduces the Multi-Function Brewer, an innovative brewer flexible enough to brew hot coffee, iced coffee, flavored coffee, hot tea and iced tea into a variety of serving containers (ranging from a 54 fl. oz. thermal coffee server to a 1.5 gallon coffee container to a 3-gallon tea dispenser) all without flavor carry over.

The Multi-Function Brewer also has the ability to control all brewing-process aspects, including formulation, temperature, water contact time, dilution and volume through pre-programmed recipe selections based on taste preferences ranging from classic to traditional. And, if that wasn't enough, the brewer features push-button simplicity, reducing labor and training time.

"We know that in all foodservice operations, counter space is at a premium," said Brian Juckeland, Coffee Marketing Manager for Boyd Coffee Company. "The Multi-Function Brewer program is designed to focus on maximum brewing versatility while using minimal counter space and optimizing coffee flavor potential."

In addition, the brewer features automatic temperature and altitude calibration, internal system alerts when the water filter needs changing, an anti-drip brew basket to reduce residual drips after brew-cycle completion, and customizable on-screen messaging to inform and educate operators about the coffee or tea being brewed. The Multi-Function Brewer's internal programming separates itself from other coffee brewers by eliminating guesswork when brewing coffee into various brewing container types. Rather than just selecting a "half" or "full" setting on a typical brewer, the Multi-Function Brewer has six different brewing settings, can brew into eight different types of containers and up to 250 different optimized brewing profiles.

"The Multi-Function Brewer represents the very latest in brewing technology and is another fine example of Boyd Coffee Company's leadership and commitment in coffee innovations and our never-ending pursuit to helping our customers increase their profitability," Juckeland concluded.
