The Keurig Bolt: a One-of-a-Kind Coffee Maker

Keurig is known for their innovative technology. Specializing in their one-cup pod technology, in just a few years, they have revolutionized coffee-making. Starting in approximately 1993 with their first single-cup brewing system that was placed in offices, Keurig has, over time, become a household name that brings happiness to coffee and tea drinkers worldwide.

Now they're turning their attention on their newest innovation, turning the single-cup coffeemaker into the single-pot coffeemaker. You may be questioning what makes this any different than a traditional coffeemaker. A traditional coffeemaker makes a pot at a time, what's so special about the Keurig's version? The Keurig Bolt, their version of a single-pot coffeemaker, is the easy-to-clean, perfect portioned coffeemaker perfect for office use.

If you work in an office, you know that every few pots of coffee there's that one that was too strong or not strong enough due to a person filling the grounds incorrectly. Using the Keurig Bolt prevents this from happening. Every pot of coffee is the perfect strength due to pre-portioned pods. Like the Keurig K-Cups, the Bolt Pack seals in the perfect flavor, every pot.

Anyone who drinks from the Bolt will instantly notice how fresh each pot of coffee tastes. Freshness is packed into to every Bolt pack, unlike typical grounds that start losing their flavor the instant you open the canister or bag. Unless you brew from whole beans every day, you never get that fresh taste like you do from a Keurig Bolt.

Currently available in a few flavors from Green Mountain Coffee, The Original Donut Shop, Timothy's World Coffee, Van Houtte coffees and Tully's, the Keurig Bolt Packs are perfect for offices who love traditional coffees. They are also ideal for those companies that pride themselves on being a "green" company. Due to the packaging of the packs, they are made from polypropylene/#5 plastic, which means they are recyclable. Keurig even offers a mail-back recycling option for areas where there is no recycling available.

In addition to coffee quality and environmentally-friendly design, another benefit you'll appreciate of a Keurig Bolt over the traditional coffee pot is the lack of cleanup. The Bolt Pack keeps the cleanup at a minimum, requiring the only item to be cleaned is the carafe.

Additional Keurig Blolt features are as follows: -

• Brews 64 oz. pot of coffee in two minutes
• Maintains temperature up to two hours within the carafe
• Touchscreen allows language programming (English, French, Spanish) and temperature control (187°F - 197°F)
• UL approved for commercial use as well as NSF certified for foodservice environments

The best thing about a Bolt is that it’s truly versatile. The Keurig Bolt doesn’t have to be placed within an office setting. It can be placed in a restaurant or diner that serves coffee all day long. You can invest in an additional thermal carafe and have two pots brewed at all times. With only a two-minute wait time no one will have to wait long if you’re out of their favorite flavor. Two minutes versus the traditional coffee pot’s four minute brew time, can make a large difference when a customer is rushing to work in the morning. Your customers will love it when you invest in a Keurig Bolt Commercial Brewing System.

With all these features, it’s no wonder that Keuirg has the brand status that it does. It takes what consumers want most and delivers to them. The Keurig Bolt does what no other coffee maker does. It takes the work out of making coffee. It's no longer a chore to make coffee for the office or for customers. It's simply the press of a button. The Keurig Bolt will be available July 15th, right here at PublicKitchenSupply.com

Tips and Tricks for using Salt and Pepper Mills

The biggest difference between salt and pepper mills and salt and pepper shakers is a grinding mechanism. Pepper mills and salt mills have a grinding mechanism that allows the user to grind fresh pepper and sea salt over food for seasoning. Pepper mills and salt mills are seen as beneficial because they typical produce more flavor when compared to salt and pepper shakers that have pre-ground spices. Some people may choose to use a traditional salt and pepper shakers for a number of reasons. Mills primarily are often associated with problems throughout their lifetime, however, most of these common problems are easily solved without needing to replace the mill. Public Kitchen Supply supplies Chef Specialties Salt and Pepper Mills and Shakers, the leader in pepper mills and salt mills. While working with this manufacturer, Chef Specialties shared with Public Kitchen Supply the three most common pepper mill and salt mill issues they hear and the tips for easy fixes.

One problem salt and pepper mills seem to face is the grinding process itself and that it "doesn't work." Ironically, this is one of the biggest advantages of pepper and salt mills but the also the most misunderstood. First, remember that the mill's body should always be turned clockwise and not back and forth or counter clockwise. The body itself can be turned both directions (counter and clockwise), but when grinding, it should ONLY be turned clockwise for the longest life and the best performance. For a fine grind, turn the top metal mechanism to the right or to the left for a coarse grind.
