The Bartscher Contessa 1002 is a filter coffee machine designed for continuous use in catering environments, buffets, and events. It can produce approximately 16 liters of coffee per hour, with each 2-liter pot taking about 8 minutes to brew, though you can prepare as little as 0.5 liters if needed. The machine is housed in a durable 18/10 chrome-nickel stainless steel case and features a stainless steel heating element with a power of 1.4 kW. For ease of use, it includes separate on/off switches for the coffee machine and the hot plate, along with a heat-up indicator light to let you know when it is ready. Accompanying the unit is a double-insulated thermos jug made of matted 18/0 chrome stainless steel with a plastic head, which allows you to serve coffee with a simple one-hand automatic operation. Measuring 21.5 x 40 x 52 cm and weighing around 6.8 kg, the device fits comfortably on a service counter. It connects via a safety plug with a 1.6-meter cord, providing a stable 2 kW power load to keep your guests supplied with fresh coffee throughout the day.
