Making Machines Matter

Did you know that professional catering and hot beverage equipment breakdowns are the cause of 47% of all new equipment purchases?

Hospitality and foodservice companies rely on their equipment every day to thrive. But with more than a third (36%) of hospitality businesses replacing equipment in the last five years, surely there are ways to improve equipment reliability and prolong its longevity?

Made to Matter

As part of our Made to Matter campaign – which includes a report highlighting the impact throwaway culture has on the planet – BRITA Professional also spoke to three professionals who are passionate about keeping their equipment functioning at its peak potential.

For Ben ‘Benji’ Lewis, otherwise known as Barista Benji, Brand Manager at Sanremo UK and national latte art championship extraordinaire, it’s essential that his coffee machines have a long lifespan to save money and prevent premature waste going to landfill. Here, he explains how keeping on top of his filter replacements keeps his coffee machines in top quality condition.

Banish limescale from your business

The build-up of limescale not only leads to higher energy costs and breakdowns, but it also impacts the taste and aroma of food and drink.

Ernie Jr Fernandez, Head of training for The Gentlemen Baristas, nurtures the development of all his baristas. He avoids bitter tasting coffee by using fresh, professionally filtered water in his machines. Find out how he gets consistently great results from his coffee equipment.

Go green, save the machines

Sustainability is crucial for people working in the sector – 99% of hospitality professionals say it is important for them to work for an organisation dedicated to these values.

Chris John, a Development Chef for Nisbets, enjoys working with fresh, vibrant flavours that are in season and sustainable. And he knows that working with sustainable equipment suppliers is just as important – helping his business do its bit to look after the environment.
