A docking server system with technology that thermostatically controls and automatically shuts off heat in the docking system once the preset temperature is reached and additionally monitors server volume. This is more beneficial than traditional warmer plates that heat continuously.

Turbulence is an important element in brewing perfect coffee. SmartWAVE is a BUNN exclusive product design that uses technology to increase turbulence in the brew funnel, providing more contact between water and coffee and uniformity of extraction.

A hopper designed with a microchip that communicates the type of coffee contained in the hopper to an enabled grinder, managing the grinding and brewing process from start to finish. Used in conjunction with BrewWISE technology.

A funnel designed with a microchip that can receive information from an enabled grinder and transfer that information to an enabled brewer, managing the grinding and brewing process from start to finish. A SMART Funnel can be programmed to accept dedicated recipe information, reducing labor costs and minimizing brewing errors. Used in conjunction with BrewWISE technology.

A system that includes a mother brewing system that remains in one location (e.g., kitchen) and dispenses into portable, or removable, servers for remote service.

A brew-through lid with a vapor seal to maintain freshness and a spill prevention design.

A device used to measure the time between pulses for the purpose of monitoring RPM (revolution per minute).

Technology on auger motors in BUNN specialty drink systems that monitor the auger revolutions per minute (RPM) and controls powder dosing for each beverage, eliminating product waste and ensuring consistency cup-to-cup.

A relay is a device that acts as an electrified switch. It consists of a set of contacts, an iron core plunger and a coil. The objective of the relay is to change the “state” of the contacts – they are known as being “normally open” or “normally closed”. When voltage is applied, the coil becomes an electromagnet, causing the iron core to draw up and physically trip the contacts from their normal state.

A water regulator is a device used to moderate water pressure. It will assist in keeping the pressure at a consistent level, especially important in siphon systems.
