Boyds Coffee next generation of brewing equipment.

The Coffee Profiler, a new brewer from Boyds Coffee Company can brew up to 250 different coffee profiles (or recipes), with operation as simple a pushing a button. Initially available only to Boyd Coffee Company customers west of the Mississippi River, The Coffee Profiler is pre-programmed by a Boyds technician, guaranteeing quality in every cup of coffee by controlling all aspects of the brewing process including water contact time, temperature, formula, volume, dilution and bypass. The machine offers simple, push-button operation, not only for hot coffee drinks, but for iced coffee as well as hot and iced tea.

"We know that restaurant counter space is at a premium, so The Coffee Profiler has a small footprint and can brew your specialty, gourmet, decaf, iced tea or iced coffee drinks in several different sized containers--with the promise of producing the finest cup possible each and every time," said Mike Johnson, R & D manager who spent five years overseeing the research and development of the equipment. "The Coffee Profiler senses elevation while providing automatic temperature adjustment. It also monitors the actual water usage and tells you when to change water conditioners."
