Everest ECF1 24 In. Nitro Cold Brew Coffee Dispenser, 1 Half Barrel Keg, One Single Faucet Draft Arm, 8 Cu. Ft., Black Vinyl Exterior

The Everest ECF1 is the dedicated cold brew unit of Everest Refrigeration's bar equipment line, a 24 inch nitro cold brew coffee dispenser for cafes, coffee bars, and restaurant coffee programs that want kegged cold brew pouring at the counter instead of decanting from a back-of-house refrigerator. One half barrel keg rides inside the 8 cubic foot cabinet directly below the faucet, so coffee travels inches from keg to cup, and the fully insulated single faucet draft arm with its matching air distributor ships on the unit rather than as an add-on. A digital controller holds the cabinet anywhere from 33°F to 54°F, factory preset at 35°F.

Back Mounted Blizzard R290 Cartridge that Swaps without On-Site Brazing

The condensing unit is a back mounted, self-contained Blizzard R290 cartridge that is fully detachable and replaceable in the field with no on-site brazing. Unlike a conventional sealed system repair that can park your cold brew program while a refrigeration tech opens the circuit, a cartridge swap gets coffee pouring again the same visit. The cartridge runs EPA-compliant R290 refrigerant with zero ozone depletion potential and a global warming potential of three.

Electronically commutated fan motors pull the cabinet down to temperature quickly while drawing less energy. The defrost cycle is time-initiated and temperature-terminated, so it runs itself, and condensate evaporates from a self-maintaining drain pan with no external drain or electric heater. Large capacity, corrosion-resistant condenser and evaporator coils carry the cooling load, while a high performance, auto-reverse condenser fan supports compressor ventilation and helps keep the condenser coil clean.

One Half Barrel Keg of Cold Brew on Tap Through a Fully Insulated Draft Arm

The included draft arm is a single faucet, 3 inch diameter, stainless steel tower with a matching air distributor, fully insulated so the last pour of a slow afternoon comes out as cold as the first of the morning rush. Below it, the 8 cubic foot cabinet swallows one half barrel keg whole, which means a full batch of cold brew stays sealed, dark, and at serving temperature instead of oxidizing in open pitchers.

The cabinet interior is open spaced with no walls between compartments, with galvanized steel walls and a high quality stainless steel floor that takes the keg's weight and the occasional slide without complaint. When your menu outgrows one faucet, Everest offers dual or triple faucet draft arms with matching air distributors, including stout faucet 304 stainless steel coffee draft arms built for the cascading nitro-style pour.

Tinted Stainless Steel Door Under a Stainless Steel Countertop and Rail

The door wears a tinted stainless steel exterior over a galvanized steel interior with 1 3/4 inches of high density polyurethane insulation, and it seals against a snap-in magnetic gasket that pops out for cleaning or replacement without tools. A high strength, recessed handle keeps the front flush, and a pre-installed door lock keeps your items safe from theft when the counter is unstaffed.

Up top, a heavy duty stainless steel countertop and rail give the faucet a working surface that shrugs off drips and tamps, while the cabinet body wears a textured laminate, black vinyl exterior. Energy efficient silicone coated, shatter-proof LED lighting makes the keg and coupling easy to see on changeover, and the whole unit rolls on four pre-installed 5 inch swivel casters with locks on the front set, standing 39 3/8 inches tall on a 23 1/2 by 32 inch footprint.

Digital Controller that Holds 33°F to 54°F with an Overheat Alarm

A multi-function digital controller with an easy to read LED display holds the cabinet anywhere from 33°F to 54°F, factory preset at 35°F so kegs go straight from the cold brew supplier onto tap at a ready-to-pour temperature. An audible overheat protection alarm watches the compressor and condenser coil and warns you before a ventilation problem becomes a warm keg of spoiling coffee.

Everest supports the unit with optional dual or triple faucet draft arms and matching air distributors, single and dual stout faucet 304 stainless steel coffee draft arm upgrades, 3 inch or 5 inch swivel casters with locks, and 3.5 inch to 6 inch height-adjustable, interchangeable legs.

The ECF1 is a refrigerator only, with a floor of 33°F, and one half barrel is its ceiling: it suits a cafe pouring from a single cold brew batch at a time, not a multi-keg draft lineup. The cabinet runs 23 1/2 inches long by 32 inches deep and needs 53 3/4 inches of clear depth with the door open, so measure the space behind the counter before committing the slot. Power is ordinary: 115V at 2.5 amps through a 9 foot cord and a standard NEMA 5-15P plug.
