Coffee Equipment Repair
Charlotte’s coffee culture demands zero downtime—from Dilworth pour-over bars to Ballantyne drive-thrus.…
In the fast-paced world of Charlotte’s vibrant coffee scene—from Uptown cafés to South End roasters—your equipment is the heartbeat of your business. A single breakdown during morning rush can cost hundreds in lost revenue, not to mention frustrated customers. That’s why quarterly preventive maintenance isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity. At Coffee Tech, we specialize in keeping espresso machines, grinders, brewers, and water filtration systems in peak condition so you can focus on crafting perfect drinks.
Charlotte’s coffee culture demands zero downtime—from Dilworth pour-over bars to Ballantyne drive-thrus. One grinder jam, one brewer under-temp, or one cloudy nitro tap can tank your rush. Quarterly preventive maintenance across your full equipment lineup is the only way to protect revenue, flavor, and reputation. At Coffee Tech, we service every machine that touches your coffee, not just espresso. Here’s the expanded playbook
Conditions: 9-bar pressure, 200°F+ steam, milk fats, mineral-rich water.
Quarterly Must-Dos:
Skip this → boiler cracks, $2,500+ replacement.
Conditions: 400–1800 RPM, oily beans, chaff dust, humidity swings.
Quarterly Must-Dos:
| Task | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Burr removal & ultrasonic clean | Removes rancid oils that taint every shot |
| Burr alignment & parallelism check | Prevents channeling & uneven particle distribution |
| Dose calibration (timed & weigh) | ±0.1g consistency = repeatable recipes |
| Chute & hopper vacuum | Stops clogs that cause 30-second delays in line |
| Replace burrs @ 750–1,500 lbs throughput | Dull burrs = muddy extraction & bitter notes |
Pro tip: Mahlkonig EK43 burrs last ~1,200 lbs; we track usage with QR-coded service tags.
