Bravilor

Bravilor Bonamat is a Dutch manufacturer of professional filter coffee and bulk brewing equipment, founded in 1948 and supplying the hospitality industry for over 75 years. Their machines are built for high-volume, consistent output — producing large quantities of filter coffee to a reliable standard, making them a practical choice for hotels, restaurants, contract caterers, and conference facilities where a traditional espresso machine is not always practical or necessary.

The range we stock includes:

• Bravilor Bonamat Mondo 2 — high-volume filter brewer with dual decanter output
• Bravilor Bonamat Mondo Twin — simultaneous twin brewing for maximum throughput
• Bravilor Bonamat Novo 2 — compact filter brewer for smaller operations

We also carry a full range of Bravilor accessories including vacuum flasks, glass and stainless steel decanters, filter papers in multiple sizes (B5, B10, B20, B40, and Mondo/Novo formats), and Renegite descaling products — so you can maintain and run your machine without sourcing parts elsewhere.

Bravilor machines are designed for durability and ease of use, with consistent brew quality across every cycle and energy-saving modes on key models to reduce running costs. Our service engineers can carry out maintenance and repairs, and equipment leasing is available on qualifying orders. Get in touch if you need help selecting the right model for your volume and venue type.

Bravilor Coffee Machine FAQs

How do I clean my Bravilor coffee machine?

Clean the filter pan and decanter after each use with hot soapy water to prevent coffee residue build-up. For a deeper clean, use specialist hygiene products such as descaling solution and cleaning tablets — Bravilor's own Renegite descaler is available from us and is formulated specifically for Bravilor equipment. A thorough deep clean should be carried out at least once a month to keep the machine producing consistently good coffee.

How often should I descale my Bravilor machine?

The frequency depends on your water hardness and usage levels, but as a general guide a full descale should be carried out monthly in commercial environments. Regular descaling prevents limescale build-up that can affect both brew temperature and machine longevity. We stock Bravilor Renegite descaler in both 50g sachets and 1kg tubs for regular commercial use.

Are Bravilor machines energy efficient?

Yes — Bravilor machines are designed with minimum energy consumption in mind, and many models feature energy-saving modes that reduce power draw during quiet periods. The use of premium insulated materials also helps maintain brew temperature without the machine working harder than necessary.

Can I use any coffee in a Bravilor machine?

Yes — Bravilor filter machines are compatible with any medium to coarse ground filter coffee. The grind size should be appropriate for filter brewing rather than espresso. Browse our coffee range for beans and ground options suited to filter brewing, or contact us for a recommendation.
