The EP01 electric tea cooker operates at 1500W on single-phase 230V supply. It produces large batches of brewed tea for front-of-house service in hotels, conference centres, and buffet operations. The 14-litre capacity supports continuous service without mid-shift refilling.
Commercial Application
Hotels and banquet halls use this unit to prepare tea in advance of breakfast service or conference breaks. The electric heating element brings water to temperature, then maintains it during steeping. Staff fill the reservoir, add tea, and dispense directly into service urns or cups.
The 14-litre capacity yields approximately 55 standard cups per batch. Operators run multiple cycles during peak periods without manual monitoring. The unit holds temperature once brewing completes, allowing service staff to decant as needed throughout the shift.
Key Operational Advantages

- Stainless steel construction withstands daily cleaning and repeated thermal cycles
- Drip-free tap allows portion control and reduces spillage during high-volume service
- Graduated sight glass shows remaining volume without opening the lid
