The CS3 is a 5-litre bain-marie beverage warmer designed for commercial service of hot chocolate, sahlep, milk-based drinks, tea, and coffee. It uses indirect water-bath heating and continuous agitation to maintain homogeneous fluid consistency without scorching or lumping. The unit operates at 1100W and is suited to cafés, hotel breakfast service, catering operations, and food trucks.
Commercial Application
This warmer slots into front-of-house beverage stations where staff dispense multiple cups per service period without interruption. The bain-marie method prevents direct heating of sugar-rich or dairy fluids, eliminating burnt residue on vessel walls. Continuous paddle rotation maintains suspension of cocoa solids and prevents settling during extended holding periods.
During breakfast or evening service, the unit holds pre-prepared hot chocolate or sahlep at serving temperature for several hours. The 5-litre capacity supports approximately 20-25 standard servings before refill. Dispensing occurs via integrated tap, reducing ladle handling and drip waste.
Key Operational Advantages
- Bain-marie heating eliminates direct flame or element contact with beverage, preventing caramelisation and stick-on residue
- Continuous mixing paddle maintains homogeneous suspension of solids throughout service period
- Closed-circuit water heating minimises evaporation and extends intervals between water top-up
- Tap includes integrated clearing pin for field resolution of cocoa or pulp blockages
- All beverage-contact components disassemble without tools for end-of-shift cleaning
- External water level sight glass allows monitoring without opening unit during service
