Product Description
Thank you for purchasing Grindmaster’s Commercial/OCS Pod brewer. The
OPOD is a digitally controlled commercial coffee brewer that brews one cup
of coffee or tea at a time. It has been designed to maximize your drinking
pleasure by brewing a cup of coffee or tea of your choice under optimum
brewing conditions. This brewer uses coffee or tea pods ranging in size from
57mm to 61 mm. Pods are available from your retailer in many different flavors.
Note: This section of the manual describes the brewer in general terms.
Specifics are described in detail in other sections of this manual.
The OPOD can be plumbed into a water supply. If a water line is not available,
the brewer can be used as a pourover. The brewer uses a 15 amp, 120 volt
power line. If the brewer is plumbed in, then it will refill the reservoir itself
automatically. If it is used in pourover mode, then the user must manually refill
the reservoir as needed.
The operating principle of this machine is that a user places their coffee mug
on the drain tray then places a fresh coffee or tea pod in the brew chamber.
The user then closes the chamber. Then the user selects, on the STRENGTH
selector switch, their choice of coffee brewing strength; LIGHT, MEDIUM, or
STRONG. If tea is desired, then the selector switch must be placed on TEA
selection. Once the selection is made, the Brew button is pressed and released.
The OPOD digital control system delivers approximately 8 fluid ounces (237 ml)
of optimum brew temperature water through the pod to create a fresh cup of
coffee or tea in approximately 40 seconds.
Another cup of coffee or tea can be brewed immediately after replacing the
spent pod.
The selector switch below the brew switch controls the machine functions
required to obtain optimum flavor of coffee and brew strength for each
consumer as well as the optimum brewed cup of tea.
All brew volumes are factory set to brew approximately 8 fluid ounces
(237 ml) of finished beverage depending on the type of pod used. Differences
in pods affect the amount of water absorbed into the pod. Dispensing hot
water only, without the use of a pod, will result in approximately 9 fluid
ounces (266 ml) of hot water dispensed.
