Innovative BrewWISE® ThermoFresh® System named SCAA Winner Best New Product - Coffee Preparation Equipment

BUNN’s new BrewWISE ThermoFresh coffee brewing system received the Specialty Coffee Association of America’s (SCAA’s) highest honor, “Best New Product Award for Coffee Preparation Equipment” during the association’s annual convention at the John B. Hynes Convention Center, April 25 - 28. SCAA’s 15th Annual Conference & Exhibition attracted more than 8,000 coffee trade professionals from throughout the United States and over 50 nations.

The BrewWISE system is based on patented technology to allow specifically profiled coffee grinding and brewing instructions to be programmed via computer chips into grinding and brewing equipment. These preprogrammed recipes enable owner operators to have complete confidence that their full coffee menu (up to 40 recipes) will be faithfully brewed every time - regardless of who is behind the counter. This system is available with either patented Soft Heat® servers or unheated ThermoFresh servers, depending on operator preference.

“Receiving this award is especially gratifying because the SCAA represents the highest standards in coffee brewing excellence for our industry. BUNN has long shared these same values with the SCAA and with its counterparts in Europe and Asia where our intention is to do all we can, on a global basis, to promote coffee quality excellence,” said Hy Bunn, Chairman and CEO of BUNN Corporation.

The award is based on the overall value of preparation equipment in enhancing the quality of specialty coffee beverages. "Those who take the time to buy and prepare high-quality coffee depend on manufacturers like BUNN who recognize that specialty coffee requires special equipment. BUNN's commitment to the specialty coffee industry's standards of excellence is demonstrated by their ongoing product innovation. SCAA congratulates BUNN on their award, " said Ted R. Lingle, Executive Director of SCAA.
