QUESTION:

Hi Shane,

I am a distributor. My customer has a CBS-2018 and they like brewing into a carafe. The current unit can’t keep up with production. Electricity available 13 amps, 2 & 1 ground wire, single phase, 120. There is a water outlet for direct plumbing. What model should I move them into?

Thanks,
Jamie

ANSWER:

Jamie,

If you are not able to increase your electrical, then it is not easy to increase out put. However the CBS-2021eG (120V with 1X 1.7KW heating element and can be plugged into a standard 15amp outlet) is a brewer that auto refills which makes recovery time a little faster and you can the brew two batches in a row without waiting for the brewer to come back up to temperature. After those two batches the brewer will need to recover. The 2018 cannot do this it brews then fills then needs to heat after every brew.

Now you would need to buy separately the Tray Assembly p/n 1102.00009.00 because it does not come standard with the 2021eG because it is supposed to brew into our 1.5 gal gravity pot. With this configuration there is a 2-3” gap between the brew basket and the server however this does not appear to affect the temperature of the end product.

The CBS-2021eG was not designed to be used with this server, but I know some folks who have used it this way and appear to be very happy with it.

If you can upgrade to a 20amp circuit, the CBS-2021eG can be purchased with a 2.1KW heating element, and then you can brew nearly 2 more batches per hour than the one mentioned above.

I hope this is helpful please let me know If I can be of any further assistance.
