BRAVILOR BONOMAT RLX 5 Coffee Machine for Professional Use

A coffee machine designed for professional kitchens, the BRAVILOR BONOMAT RLX 5 brews fresh coffee in measured batches, ensuring consistent flavour and strength. The machine heats water to the optimal temperature for extraction, then forces it through ground coffee held in a filter. This process releases the oils and soluble compounds that give coffee its aroma and body, while the stainless steel filter pan maintains even pressure and flow, preventing over-extraction or bitterness.

Operation begins by loading the filter with ground coffee and placing a container beneath the outlet. The machine is switched on, and the brewing cycle starts automatically. Water is heated and circulated through the coffee grounds, dripping into the container below. A signal indicates when the coffee is ready, allowing staff to serve immediately or keep the container warm. The machine monitors the quality of each batch, adjusting parameters to maintain consistency across multiple brews. A descaling indicator alerts operators when maintenance is required, ensuring the heating element and water pathways remain free of limescale.

The RLX 5 is constructed with a stainless steel housing and filter pan, providing durability and resistance to corrosion in a busy kitchen environment. Its compact footprint fits on a worktop without occupying excessive space, while the height allows containers to be positioned and removed easily. The power rating of 2.06 kW indicates the load it places on the electrical supply, requiring a dedicated circuit to avoid overloading other equipment.

Controls are straightforward: an on/off switch, a brewing cycle button, and indicator lights for coffee readiness and descaling. The 230 V voltage matches standard UK commercial power outlets, simplifying installation. The machine's dimensions allow it to be positioned near a water source and waste disposal, streamlining workflow during service.

Cleaning involves regular rinsing of the filter pan and descaling the internal water pathways to prevent build-up that could affect performance. The stainless steel surfaces wipe clean with minimal effort, reducing downtime between uses. The brewing time of seven minutes per container allows staff to plan production during peak hours, ensuring a steady supply of fresh coffee without delays.

The RLX 5 is categorised under professional coffee machines, suitable for cafés, restaurants, and catering operations where demand for fresh coffee is high but space is limited.
