CREMINTERATIONAL Mega Gold A TK Filtered Coffee Machine

A filtered coffee machine brews coffee by passing hot water through ground coffee held in a paper filter. The water absorbs the coffee's oils and flavours as it drips into a serving vessel below, producing a clear, sediment-free beverage. This method relies on steady heat to maintain the right extraction temperature and a consistent flow rate to avoid over- or under-brewing. The result is a smooth, balanced cup that can be kept hot without further cooking, making it practical for serving large groups over time.

The Mega Gold A TK follows this principle with a high-capacity heating element that brings water to brewing temperature quickly. Water is drawn either from a fixed tap connection or a manual fill, then heated and sprayed evenly over the coffee grounds in the filter basket. The brewed coffee collects in a 2.5-litre thermal server that sits directly beneath the filter, keeping the beverage hot and ready to pour without reheating. A built-in water softener removes minerals that cause limescale, protecting the machine and improving the taste of the coffee.

To operate the machine, the user fills the filter basket with ground coffee, inserts a disposable paper filter, and places the basket into the machine. The water source is selected—either the automatic tap connection or the manual fill spout—and the machine is switched on. Once the water reaches the correct temperature, brewing begins automatically. The thermal server below collects the coffee, and the machine shuts off when the cycle is complete. The server can then be removed for serving, and the used filter and grounds are discarded.

The machine is built with a stainless-steel exterior and internal components designed for frequent use. The 2.5-litre thermal server is included, along with a water connection kit and a 110 mm filter basket. The power rating of 2.2 kW ensures rapid heating, while the 230 V supply matches standard UK commercial circuits. The unit weighs 11.5 kg, making it stable on a worktop but light enough to move when needed. Its footprint of 205 mm depth, 390 mm width and 640 mm height fits easily on most worktops or mobile trolleys.

Controls are simple: an on-off switch starts and stops the brewing cycle, and a selector for water source allows the operator to choose between tap or manual fill. The water softener requires no adjustment; it operates automatically whenever the machine is in use.

The 2.2 kW power rating means the machine draws a significant load, so it should be connected to a dedicated circuit in a busy kitchen. The 2.5-litre volume of the thermal server determines how many cups can be served before refilling, while the 19-litre-per-hour output sets the pace for large groups. The weight of 11.5 kg indicates the unit is designed for stationary use but can be repositioned by one person. The 230 V requirement ensures compatibility with standard UK power supplies.

Cleaning involves rinsing the filter basket and thermal server after each use, and periodically descaling the machine to remove any limescale that the softener does not catch. The disposable paper filters eliminate the need to clean a permanent filter, simplifying daily upkeep.

The Mega Gold A TK is a single model with no variants. It is listed in the catalogue under professional coffee equipment for high-volume service.
