Gas Coffee Machine 3GR for Professional Kitchens

A gas-powered coffee machine built for continuous espresso production in busy kitchens, where electric power may be limited or unreliable. The machine uses a gas burner to heat water in a pressurised boiler, creating the steam and hot water needed to extract coffee grounds at the correct temperature and pressure. This method delivers consistent results without relying on electrical heating elements, making it suitable for locations where gas is the primary energy source or where electrical supply is constrained.

The operator fills the 21 litre boiler with fresh water, ignites the gas burner, and allows the system to reach operating pressure. Once ready, the machine dispenses hot water through the group heads, where ground coffee is placed in portafilters. The steam wand, powered by the same boiler, froths milk for cappuccinos and lattes. The process is continuous: as long as the boiler is replenished and the gas supply maintained, the machine can produce espresso without interruption.

Constructed with a stainless steel exterior, the machine is designed for durability in high-demand environments. The dual voltage capability (230 V or 380 V) allows it to be connected to standard single-phase or three-phase electrical supplies, depending on the kitchen's wiring. The 21 litre boiler capacity supports extended use without frequent refilling, while the physical dimensions (1010 mm wide, 560 mm deep, 780 mm high) ensure it fits on most commercial worktops without overcrowding.

Controls include gas flow regulation to adjust the burner intensity, a pressure gauge to monitor boiler conditions, and manual valves for water and steam release. The machine's power rating of 6 kW reflects the energy required to maintain boiler pressure and temperature during operation, which may influence the kitchen's gas supply planning.

Cleaning involves regular descaling of the boiler to prevent mineral build-up, wiping down the stainless steel surfaces to maintain hygiene, and purging the steam wand after each use to avoid milk residue clogging the system. The machine is categorised under gas-powered coffee equipment in the BHS professional range.
