Designed for high-volume hospitality venues, the Hardtank 20 Commercial Cold Brew Machine is a large-capacity cold brew system built for cafes, bars and production environments. Using Hardtank’s accelerated cold extraction technology, it produces smooth cold brew in around 45 minutes rather than the traditional 12–24 hour steeping process, allowing businesses to brew fresh batches throughout the day while maintaining consistent flavour and quality.
High-Capacity Cold Brew Production
The Hardtank 20 Commercial Cold Brew Machine uses a dynamic extraction system that continuously circulates chilled water through the coffee bed. This improves extraction efficiency while maintaining the smooth flavour and low acidity associated with cold brew coffee, allowing large batches to be produced quickly without sacrificing clarity or balance in the cup.
Built For Commercial Beverage Programs
With a large brewing chamber and high daily production capacity, the Hardtank 20 supports cafes and hospitality venues that serve cold brew at scale. The system can produce substantial daily output while maintaining consistent results between batches, making it suitable for venues serving high volumes of cold brew, iced tea or other infused beverages.
Flexible Serving And Installation Options
The Hardtank 20 can be configured as a standalone brewing unit or paired with one or two taps for direct service. This flexibility allows businesses to integrate the system into different bar layouts, whether preparing cold brew for kegging, bottling or serving directly from the machine.
