Atosa CB3L021 Short Twin Coffee and Tea Brewer - 160 Cups/Hr, Dual Voltage
Atosa CB3L021 Short Twin Coffee and Tea Brewer — 160 Cups Per Hour, Dual Voltage
The Atosa CB3L021 is a short, twin-station commercial coffee and tea brewer built for busy cafés, restaurants, hotels, convenience stores, and catering operations that need two servers going at once. Brew regular and decaf side by side, or coffee on one side and iced tea on the other. It brews up to 160 cups (12 gallons) per hour with a 3 gallon capacity, and a built-in hot water dispenser handles tea, oatmeal, soups, and cocoa without tying up either brew station.
A 5" color touchscreen puts programmable brew recipes, pre-infusion, and pulse brew at your staff's fingertips, so every batch tastes the same no matter who presses the button. Field-adjustable dual voltage lets you run it at 208–240V for faster hot water recovery or switch to 120V where that's the only power available.
Built for High-Volume Coffee and Tea Service
- Regular and decaf side by side — two brew stations keep both servers full through the rush
- Coffee and iced tea programs — brew coffee on one side and tea on the other
- Cafés and coffee shops — batch brew drip coffee to keep lines moving during the morning rush
- Restaurants, diners, and hotels — continuous coffee for breakfast buffets, brunch, and banquets
- Convenience stores — self-serve coffee stations with multiple blends
- Catering and events — high-volume coffee and tea for large groups
Brewing Technology
The CB3L021 is built around even, consistent extraction. Sprayhead technology distributes water evenly over the coffee grounds for uniform extraction and consistent flavor. Pre-infusion lets the grounds bloom before the brew cycle starts, and pulse brew uses timed water pulses to promote even saturation. Together they help you get the most flavor out of every pound of coffee or tea.
Programmable Controls
The 5" color touchscreen offers programmable brewing and intuitive digital controls. Save customizable brew recipes for one-touch operation, and use USB programming to upload settings quickly. A brew counter tracks total brew cycles for maintenance scheduling and usage monitoring, and energy-saver mode lowers tank temperature during idle periods to conserve energy.
Hot Water Dispenser and Dual Voltage
The built-in hot water dispenser serves hot water for tea, instant oatmeal, soups, and cocoa. The brewer is field adjustable for dual voltage: run it at 208–240V (2180–2880W) for faster recovery or at 120V (1440W).
- At 2180–2880W: estimated hot water recovery of 4.6–7.4 gal/hr
- At 1440W: estimated hot water recovery of 3.0–3.7 gal/hr
It ships with a NEMA L14-20 plug as standard for 208–240V operation, with a NEMA 5-15P plug available as an option for 120V.

Installation
The CB3L021 connects to a water line through a 3/4" MNPT inlet and operates at 7.3–87 psi water pressure. It includes a 3/8" O.D. push-to-connect x 3/4" FNPT water inlet connector and 3/8" O.D. tubing for easy water line installation. The standard NEMA L14-20 plug requires a matching 208–240V receptacle, so confirm your electrical before installation. Leave at least 5-7/8" of clearance on all sides for operation and heat dissipation. To protect the brewer from scale and keep flavor consistent, pair it with a commercial water filter.
