The key to a well executed coffee program is consistently serving hot, fresh coffee every time. Monitoring the holding time and the amount of coffee in a dispenser is crucial to freshness and quality. Without proper management, coffee can get cold or stale from sitting too long. Even worse, dispensers can run out and customers have to wait for a new brew.

Curtis’ Thermal FreshTrac™ is a simple visual system that communicates time and volume that’s easy to see, even from across the room. The FreshTrac™ system is activated from the moment coffee is brewed into the dispenser to keep your coffee program on track.

1. Liquid Level — At-a-glance you can easily see how much coffee is in the dispenser so you know when it is time to brew again.

2. Coffee Quality Timer — The digital time display can be programmed to count up or down so holding time can be monitored easy and efficiently.

3. Active LED Light Display:

• Wake Up Mode (Green-Red-Green): Once the brew cycle has started, two LED lights flash green-red-green to indicate the TFT has been activated

•Warning Mode (Green-Red-Green): The LED lights flash green-red-green every 6 seconds when it is 10 minutes prior to expiration or when the coffee level between 12 and 24 ounces

• Time is Expired and/or Dispenser is (nearly) Empty (Red): The light flashes red every 6 seconds for 60 minutes when the timer has expired or the dispenser is empty or nearly empty (less than 12 ounces)
