GENERAL
The BKON™ Craft Brewer is designed for high volume use, for the creation of “quick serve / on demand” drinks prepared by a Barista
(operator). The machine ships from the factory in two parts: tower and supply center. The tower is where the product is brewed and
dispensed. A brew handle is used to hold product during a brew cycle.
Cold water should be supplied to the unit. During a cycle, 8 to 20 oz. of water passes through a process that will ultimately deliver
an expertly crafted beverage. A water supply connection is located on the front of the supply center and should be connected by the
certied installer per national and local municipality codes and regulations.

brewing with materials that may carry avors over to other products. Below is a color method applied to a
tea program. The same logic may be used for a coffee and tea program or for any other means to separate
products by colors.
