How Hardtank technology works

Hardtank’s cold brew machine uses a patented rapid cold brew extraction method that transforms how businesses brew cold coffee. Instead of waiting 12–24 hours like traditional systems, Hardtank’s dynamic recirculation technology actively circulates water through the coffee grounds, achieving complete extraction in under one hour. This process maximises the interaction between water and raw material, boosting both flavour and efficiency without sacrificing quality.

The device is built from high-grade, food-safe stainless steel, ensuring durability and a clean brewing environment for years of reliable use. Hardtank’s filtration system delivers a clear, smooth cold brew free from bitterness or astringency, while the closed brewing chamber minimises oxidation and extends shelf life. Hardtank automates cleaning, dispensing, and recipe control, making it easy to scale up production and maintain the highest hygiene standards with minimal labour.

Effortless Cold Brew, Every Day

Start-up and Setup

Begin with checking the user manual and tutorial videos as there may be some steps you were not aware of. Place ground coffee into the stainless-steel basket, insert it into the tank, and select your saved recipe or program a new one using the intuitive controls.

Brewing and Dispensing

The machine automatically fills with water, starts the extraction, and monitors all brewing variables.

Once finished, your cold brew is dispensed directly into a keg or serving container.

Cleaning and Sanitation

At the end of the day, activate the automatic cleaning and sanitation program. The system uses dedicated cleaning products to flush and sanitise all internal parts, ensuring hygiene and extending the life of your equipment.

This hands-free protocol guarantees every batch is safe and fresh.
