Hendi Percolators

Percolators help cafés, hotels and caterers prepare coffee in batches for breakfast, meetings and self-service. SIA La RONDE’s range includes different capacities and finishes, along with a hot-water dispenser for other beverage tasks. Choosing around batch demand and service routine helps staff organise preparation and dispensing efficiently.

Equipment and tasks

Percolators with a filter basket for coarsely ground coffee are suited to batch brewing for a counter or buffet. Some models have a built-in filter, removing the need for a paper filter. Coffee can be served directly from the appliance, supporting a simple brew-and-pour routine. Selecting a batch size suited to expected demand helps teams avoid repeated preparation during a busy service period.

The hot-water dispenser has a separate role: it is suitable for preparing tea and mulled wine. It can serve a beverage station where hot drinks beyond coffee are required. Protection against switching on while empty supports routine operation as staff prepare drinks. Keep coffee brewing and hot-water preparation as distinct tasks when choosing equipment, so the appliance at each station matches the drink being made.

Parameters in use

Capacity provides a practical basis for batch planning. The 7 L percolator suits a smaller coffee run, while the 14 L model accommodates a larger preparation for sustained service. A 10 L or 6 L option can suit intermediate or more limited requirements. Matching vessel volume to likely demand helps staff plan how much coffee to prepare and when another batch may be needed.

The stainless-steel, single-wall body provides a durable, cleanable surface for routine care. A non-drip tap helps keep the counter tidy as staff fill cups, and the glass level indicator makes remaining contents visible without opening the vessel. The adjustable temperature range lets the operator select a setting for the coffee service task. A separate model keeps coffee at serving temperature after brewing, allowing staff to continue pouring from the prepared batch.

Choosing a product

Compare batch capacity with service pace, then check the appliance footprint against the intended work surface. The smaller models measure 307x330x(H)450mm; larger models measure 357x380x(H)502mm. These dimensions help staff assess placement when arranging a beverage station. Finish can distinguish units in the working area: smaller options include silver and matt black, while larger options include matt black and light grey.

For a coffee station, consider whether staff need a compact batch or a larger reserve, and whether serving-temperature holding or a visible level gauge will support the routine. For tea or mulled wine, consider the hot-water dispenser’s capacity and preparation time: its 18 L vessel takes about 52 minutes to boil. The maximum temperature is 94°C-99°C. Selecting by beverage, volume and timing gives teams a clear basis for matching equipment to service work.
