The answer to this question is going to depend on the coffee output at your business. If you’re simply looking for a brewer to support a small office setting, you can most likely use a general consumer brewer. But if you own a business where coffee is one of your primary beverage options (such as a coffee shop or restaurant), a consumer brewer isn’t rated to support the level of constant brewing required to meet your customers’ demands. You’ll find that trying to use a home brewer in this scenario will only mean that you’re frequently replacing your coffee maker.
