The Baby Hardtank

Looks the part. Works harder.

A walnut-and-glass centrepiece that earns its spot on the bar, then quietly out-produces everything around it.

(01) The cold rush

Demand is booming. Slow brewing is the bottleneck.

Traditional steeping locks up your fridge for a full day and still runs dry on a hot afternoon. The Baby Hardtank changes the maths entirely.

(03) Built for cafés

More cups, more margin, more menu.

Everything about the Baby Hardtank is designed to make cold beverages the easiest money on your bench.

01

Never sell out at peak

Brew a fresh 4-litre batch in under an hour. When the lunch rush drains the tap, the next batch is minutes away, not tomorrow.

02

High margin per cup

No filters to buy, no overnight waste, minimal labour. Cold brew, nitro and iced lattes carry some of the best margins on your board.

03

Expand the menu

Cold brew, cold tea, cascara and more from one tidy machine. Add signature iced drinks without adding equipment or training.

Compact by design

Fits on any bench.
No under-counter gear.

The whole machine sits right on the counter. No under-bench tanks, no plumbing rack, no hidden equipment to find room for, just set it down and brew.

(04) Under the hood

Commercial output, barista-simple to run.

01

Patented rapid extraction

Dynamic recirculation drives water through the grounds for full extraction in under an hour. Smooth and low in acidity.

02

Touchscreen recipes

Save your house cold brew, set brew parameters and trigger automatic drainage. Consistent results from any team member.

03

Self-cleaning and sanitation

Built-in cleaning and sanitising programs with automatic drainage keep maintenance to a few taps, not a chore.

04

Filter-free, flexible water

A reusable extraction basket means no single-use filters. Plumb it in, or run it manually in "no-water" mode for events.
