Bravilor Bonamat RLX55 Bulk Brew Filter Coffee Machine
The RLX55 bulk brew filter coffee machine from Bravilor Bonamat is a twin-system, pour-and-serve brewer engineered for locations that go through coffee by the gallon. Two independent brewing systems each drop fresh filter coffee into a 2-litre gauge-glass container, so one side can be serving while the other brews. At full tilt the machine turns out up to 26 litres—roughly 210 cups—per hour, brewing two complete containers in about seven minutes.
Unlike a bean-to-cup unit, the RLX55 does one job extremely well: it makes a lot of clean, consistent filter coffee fast. A separate hot-water outlet lets staff draw water for tea, instant soup or hot chocolate on the side. That focus is exactly why buffets, canteens, offices and conference venues have relied on the RLX platform for years—it is simple, rugged and quick to keep topped up during a rush.

Key Features of the RLX55 Bulk Brew Filter Coffee Machine
- Twin brewing systems: two separate brew heads and containers mean you can serve one batch while the next is already dripping—no dead time between rushes.
- Gauge-glass containers: the sight glass on each 2-litre jug shows staff at a glance how much coffee is left, so refills happen before the pot runs dry.
- Self-regulating hot plates: keep each container at serving temperature without stewing the coffee.
- Stainless-steel build: filter pan and housing are stainless for durability and easy wipe-down in a commercial kitchen.
- Separate hot-water outlet: draw hot water for tea, soup or cocoa without tying up a brew head.
- Coffee-ready signal & descale indicator: an acoustic ready signal tells staff a batch is done, and the descale prompt keeps maintenance on schedule.

Where This Machine Earns Its Keep
The RLX55 is built for volume filter service rather than made-to-order espresso, which makes it a natural fit for high-traffic, self-serve settings. Think office break rooms, staff canteens, hospital and college cafeterias, hotel breakfast buffets, conference and banquet floors, and church or community halls—anywhere a crowd wants a hot cup quickly and someone can keep the containers stocked. Because it is plumbed to mains water, it typically suits a fixed serving station rather than a machine that has to move around.
With two containers and a roughly 210-cup hourly ceiling on the 400V model, one RLX55 can typically carry a mid-to-large team through morning and afternoon peaks; very large sites often run a second unit or pair it with airpots.
Condition, Power & What’s Included
The RLX55 is a plumbed-in, hard-wired commercial appliance: it needs a matching electrical supply (single-phase 230V or three-phase 400V, depending on the variant) and a cold-water connection—it is not a countertop plug-and-go pot. Condition (new or professionally refurbished) is confirmed on this unit before it ships; refurbished machines are tested, cleaned and descaled before dispatch. Warranty follows our published policy: a 2-year limited parts-and-service warranty on new machines and 1-year on refurbished units, including replacement parts, labour and remote tech support for US customers.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many cups per hour does the RLX55 bulk brew filter coffee machine make?
Up to about 210 cups (26 litres) per hour on the 400V model, or roughly 135 cups (17 litres) on the 230V version, brewing two full 2-litre containers in about seven minutes.
Does it make espresso or cappuccino?
No. The RLX55 is a bulk-brew filter coffee machine—it makes fresh filter (drip) coffee into containers plus hot water for tea or soup. It does not make espresso, cappuccino or milk-based drinks.
