The new Curtis G3 system.
Beyond revolutionary, it’s evolutionary.
Curtis G3 Coffee Brewing Systems are years ahead. These new G3
Systems share many of the proven designs of the Alpha platform, but
deliver greater precision, more advanced control, quality enhancing
features and prot potential than
other brewers on the market today.
At the center of the new G3 system
is its unique Universal Control Module
– UCM. This brewing “brain” is completely encapsulated in a high-tech
polymer case, protecting it from harmful heat, moisture and impact
which could damage earlier systems. G3 Systems feature an oversized
irradiant LCD display and intuitive graphic interface front panel.
Combined, they make the G3’s “scroll-through” programming incredibly
easy. Of course, there’s no need to adjust the system, should you opt for
Curtis’ pre-programmed
factory settings. Just
supply a level counter,
power and water, and
you’re ready to brew.
Curtis G3 Systems
include a host of new
standard features including digital temperature control, brew-by-volume
control, pre-infusion and pulse brew technology, preventative maintenance
alert system, cold water brew lock-out, quality timers, and much more. Each
feature has been incorporated to provide the ultimate in the tuning and
extraction of coffee avor and brewing excellence. The result, coffee which
keeps customers – and prots – coming back for more.
