The story

Why move from gravity to pump?

A gravity-fed hopper runs at about 20% overrun. A Gelmatic gear pump lets each pump-fed side run at up to 80%, so the same fill of mix gives you more serves. In our example that is 156 cups per side instead of 106.

The upgrade uses genuine Gelmatic pump parts, so you are adding the manufacturer’s own system to the machine you already trust.
