How to choose the right Commercial Coffee Percolators

• Match the percolator capacity to your peak demand, considering cups per hour for breakfast service, conferences or church and community events.
• Decide between single wall and double wall insulated models depending on how long you need to hold coffee at serving temperature.
• Check available countertop space and power supply where the unit will sit, especially for self-service coffee stations and buffets.
• Consider whether the percolator will be staff-operated back of house or customer-facing, and choose designs that suit your service style.
• Look for robust stainless steel construction and commercial-grade components if you run a busy cafe, hotel or canteen with daily use.
• Review features such as clear level indicators, non-drip taps and cool-touch handles to improve safety and ease of use.

Care and maintenance

• Clean the percolator thoroughly after each service, following the manufacturer instructions and using food-safe cleaning products.
• Descale regularly, especially in hard water areas in Ireland, to protect heating elements and maintain fast, efficient brewing.
• Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals on stainless steel surfaces to prevent scratching and preserve a professional finish.
• Inspect power leads, taps, handles and lids frequently, replacing worn parts to maintain safety and prevent leaks.
• Rinse and dry baskets, filters and internal components fully before storage to prevent odours and coffee residue build-up.
• Store the unit in a clean, dry area and transport carefully between venues if used for mobile or event catering.
