Hendi Beverage Thermoses and Percolators

SIA La RONDE’s beverage thermoses and percolators cover coffee brewing, hot-water preparation and holding drinks ready to pour. For hospitality teams, the useful distinction is the task: a percolator prepares coffee in a batch, a water heater prepares hot water or mulled wine, and a thermos holds a prepared drink. Capacity, heating schedule and dispensing method help guide the choice.

Equipment and tasks

Percolators are designed for batch coffee service. The smaller models have an integrated filter for coarse-ground coffee, retaining coffee at serving temperature after brewing. A glass measuring scale helps staff check the remaining amount, while a drip-free tap supports controlled dispensing. The larger coffee options include a filter basket for coarse grounds and a glass water-level indicator, making it easier to monitor the vessel while serving from it.

The water heater is intended for hot water or mulled wine. Its insulated handles and drip-free tap support handling and dispensing during service. Thermoses suit prepared drinks that need to be held and poured away from the heating appliance. The range includes a vacuum flask with a double stainless-steel body and a separate thermos with a glass insert and black polypropylene exterior, offering different constructions for holding drinks.

Parameters in use

Capacity helps match preparation to the service run: a smaller percolator can serve a more limited coffee requirement, while a larger vessel supports a bigger batch before replenishment. The water heater’s 25-litre capacity is suited to preparing a substantial quantity of hot water or mulled wine. Its approximately 75-minute boiling time means the team should begin heating ahead of service, allowing the preparation schedule to account for the wait.

The 14-litre percolator allows temperature adjustment from 30 °C to 100 °C, so the operator can select a holding setting within that range. The 16-litre model’s insulated, double-wall stainless-steel construction reduces heat loss through the vessel walls, helping keep coffee warm during service. Vacuum insulation in the flask also helps retain a prepared drink’s temperature, making it useful when a smaller quantity needs to be ready for pouring without continuous heating.

Choosing a product

Choose a percolator when coffee must be brewed in the serving vessel, then compare batch capacity with the quantity required. The smaller options suit more limited runs; larger capacities accommodate greater quantities per preparation. Consider the coarse-ground coffee filter, level indication and adjustable temperature where these features support the team’s brewing and dispensing routine. For hot water or mulled wine, choose the heater and plan around its boiling time.

For holding a prepared drink, compare the thermos construction and cleaning routine. The vacuum model has a double stainless-steel body and vacuum insulation. The glass-insert model has a polypropylene exterior and is not suitable for dishwasher cleaning, so plan for hand cleaning. Consider where drinks are prepared and poured, and whether the task calls for a thermos or an electrically heated vessel. This keeps equipment selection tied to the actual drinks workflow.
