  • Caution: The Hot plate is specially designed for coffee in a coffee decanter to keep warm only. Don’t put an empty coffee decanter or other thermos on it.
  • Caution: The coffee maker must not be cleaned by a water jet.
  • Caution: There is always some water remaining in the hoses and boiler of the machine. If the unit will not be used for some time, or the machine is to be removed, you should always pour out the remaining water and clean it for storage.
  • Caution: Keep away from the water-sprayed/spraying area.
  • Caution: Remain in the vicinity of the machine while the machine is in operation.

Maintenance

Cleaning:

It is important that the Machine and its accessories be kept clean after use. For dirt or smudges on the Machine, it is better to clean them with a soft, damp cloth, and if necessary, with a non-corrosive and/or non-abrasive detergent or cleaner.

De-sediments:

In areas of the water boiler, hard water will cause chalk and limestone to accumulate when the machine is used. To keep the machine in the best condition and ensure each coffee brewing results in the best taste, we recommend that if the machine has been used to brew coffee 200 times or for 6 months, a De-sediments operation be carried out as follows:

  • Add 300 ml of fresh lemon juice or condensed lemon juice to 1 liter of water.
  • Slide the filter pan into position.
  • Place an empty pot at the correct position under the filter pan.
  • Pour the lemon juice solution into the water reservoir.
  • Turn the switch ON.
  • Some hot water will drop into the jug until the solution of lemon juice pushes out the water remaining inside the machine, and there is some solution of lemon juice starts to drop into the jug, then turn the switch OFF.
  • Wait for 5\~6 minutes to enable the rest of the solution to run through with sediments, then turn the switch ON again.
  • When the solution of lemon juice is no longer dripping out, set the switch OFF and flush the solution away.
  • Since some solution of lemon juice will remain in the machine, we must run the brewing process several times with water only until there is no more taste and smell of lemon juice in the hot water that flows out from the machine.
  • Caution: Due to lime buildup, which may happen much faster than you imagine, we suggest users descale at least once a month.
  • Caution: In case the unit stops working (no power) during normal operation suddenly, but resumes once cooled down, it is very likely caused by lime buildup. Please run the De-sediment process.
  • Caution: In case the thermostat reaction is caused by the lime buildup, the user must press down and click the thermostat before descaling or the next operation.SYBO SF-CB-2GA 12-Cup Commercial Drip Coffee Maker Operating Manual 4

SYBO SF-CB-2GA 12-Cup Commercial Drip Coffee Maker-FAQs

Q1. How much coffee should I use in a commercial drip coffee maker?

The standard guideline is 3.25–4.25 oz (92–120 g) of coffee per 64 oz (1.9 L) of water. For a 12-cup maker, this equals about 24 tablespoons (1.5 cups) of ground coffee.

Q2. What is the ideal coffee-to-water ratio for drip brewing?

The “golden ratio” is 1:16 to 1:18 (1 part coffee to 16–18 parts water by weight). If you prefer stronger coffee, use a ratio closer to 1:15.

Q3. What grind size works best for drip coffee?

A medium grind (similar to sand) is ideal. It allows proper extraction within the 5–10 minute brew cycle of a commercial drip machine.

Q4. How long does a 12-cup drip coffee maker take to brew?

Typically, 8–12 minutes for a full 12-cup pot, depending on the model and water temperature.

Q5. What is the perfect water temperature for brewing drip coffee?

The best brewing range is 195°F to 205°F (90°C to 96°C). Below 195°F results in under-extraction (weak coffee), while above 205°F risks bitterness.

Q6. What type of water should I use in a drip coffee maker?

Use fresh, filtered water that is chlorine-free, with balanced minerals (around 150 ppm TDS). Avoid distilled water, as it can make coffee taste flat.

Q7. Do drip coffee makers require filters?

Yes. Paper filters or reusable basket filters are needed to trap coffee grounds while allowing brewed coffee to flow into the carafe.

Q8. What type of coffee beans are best for drip brewing?

Light to medium roasts are preferred for drip machines, as they highlight flavor and acidity. Dark roasts can also be used for a bolder, stronger brew.

Q9. Can I add milk to drip coffee?

Yes. Many people enjoy drip coffee black, but adding milk or cream can soften acidity and create a smoother taste.
