From low-temperature extraction to filtration, nitrogen infusion and packaging — production systems built for consistent flavor and scalable cold brew output.
Unlike hot coffee brewing equipment, ZPET’s cold brew systems address the unique challenges of low-temperature extraction, including extended brewing times (12-24 hours vs. 4-6 minutes for hot coffee), precise temperature control (2-8°C), and efficient filtration to remove fine coffee grounds. Our systems feature smooth interior surfaces to prevent coffee residue buildup, integrated filtration for crystal-clear concentrate, and optional nitrogen infusion for nitro cold brew
ZPET’s modular design allows coffee shops to start with a core system (1-2 brewing tanks) and expand capacity by adding tanks, filtration units, or bottling lines as demand grows. Our systems support production scaling from 50L/week (single-location cafes) to 10,000L/week (regional distribution) without replacing core equipment.
Introduction: ZPET offers cold brew coffee systems in four capacity ranges (50L-200L, 300L-500L, 800L-1000L, 1500L-2000L) designed for different production scales—from single-location cafes to commercial beverage producers
Cafe-Scale System for Coffee Shops & Restaurants
Mid-Scale System for Multi-Location Cafes & Regional Brands
High-Capacity System for Commercial Production & Distribution
Industrial-Scale System for National Brands & Large-Scale Production
Weekly production assumes 2-5 batches per week with 12-24 hour extraction cycles. Actual output depends on coffee-to-water ratio (1:4 to 1:8 for concentrate), brewing time, and operational efficiency
Capacity | Batch Output | Weekly Production | Best For | Typical Configuration |
50L-200L | 13-53 gal | 100-600L/week | Single-location cafes, restaurants | 1-2 tanks |
300L-500L | 79-132 gal | 1,000-2,000L/week | Multi-location cafes, regional brands | 2-4 tanks |
800L-1000L | 211-264 gal | 3,000-5,000L/week | Commercial production, bottled brands | 4-6 tanks |
1500L-2000L | 396-528 gal | 8,000-10,000L/week | National brands, large-scale production | 6-8 tanks |
Note: Weekly production assumes 2-3 batches per week with 14-21 day fermentation cycles. Actual output depends on fermentation time, cider styles, and operational efficiency
•Select high-quality coffee beans (medium to dark roast recommended for cold brew)
•Grind to medium-coarse consistency (similar to French press)
•Coffee-to-water ratio: 1:4 to 1:8 (concentrate) or 1:8 to 1:12 (ready-to-drink)
•Use filtered or purified water (chlorine-free) at 2-8°C
•Pre-chill water using glycol cooling system or refrigeration
•Transfer water to brewing tanks
•Add ground coffee to brewing tanks
•Stir gently to ensure complete saturation (no dry pockets)
•Seal tanks and activate temperature control
•Maintain consistent temperature (2-8°C) throughout extraction
•Monitor extraction time: 12-16 hours (lighter flavor), 18-24 hours (stronger flavor)
•No agitation required during extraction (immersion method)
•Drain cold brew concentrate through integrated filtration system
•Remove coffee grounds (can be composted or repurposed)
•Transfer filtered concentrate to storage tanks
•Dilute concentrate to desired strength (1:1 to 1:3 water for ready-to-drink)
•Optional: Add nitrogen for nitro cold brew
•Bottle, can, or transfer to draft kegs for serving
Yes, with minor modifications. The same brewing tanks can produce cold brew tea, fruit-infused water, or botanical extracts. Dedicated tanks recommended to prevent flavor cross-contamination
Concentrate: 14-21 days refrigerated (2-4°C) in sealed containers. Ready-to-drink: 7-14 days refrigerated. Nitrogen-infused: 7-10 days (nitrogen dissipates over time).
Work with multiple coffee suppliers to ensure year-round availability. Store beans in airtight containers at room temperature (consume within 2-4 weeks of roasting for optimal flavor).
Requirements vary by country. Common certifications: Health department approval, food safety certification (HACCP), and business licensing. Bottled products may require additional labeling and nutritional information.
