The speed difference
Classic cold brew steeps for 16 to 20 hours, so you brew today for tomorrow and guess how much you will sell. Hardtank keeps water moving through the coffee, so a Baby Hardtank batch is ready in under 45 minutes, with about 5 minutes of staff time.
15 h 15 min sooner, every batch
Times from Hardtank’s published comparison: classic method 16 to 20 hours (we show 16), Baby Hardtank under 45 minutes.
Made in Poland, sold in more than 65 countries, and winner of SCA Best New Product in 2021 and 2022 and the World Coffee Innovation Award in 2023 and 2025.
Brew small batches through the day, keep every recipe the same, and stop throwing out yesterday’s cold brew.

The details
The Baby Hardtank runs on a normal power point, with a filtered water line recommended for daily use. Treat the water as you already do for espresso.
Hardtank’s patented accelerated cold extraction is based on recirculation. Water is pushed through the extraction basket continuously, so the coffee is always agitated. The basket design gives a very clean brew without extra filtration.
Up to 4 litres of cold brew coffee from the Baby Hardtank (up to 5 litres of tea and infusions) and 18 to 20 litres from the Hardtank 20.
Under the counter. It measures 902 x 830 x 610 mm (H x W x D), needs a filtered water connection and a drain, and drains straight into kegs. It can be fitted with 1 or 2 taps.
At 200 ml a serve, up to 300 a day with the Baby Hardtank and up to 1,250 with the Hardtank 20.
The Baby Hardtank has no tap, and the Hardtank 20 can be fitted with 1 or 2 taps. To pour nitro and still side by side, add a Hardtap. It makes its own nitrogen from the air, so you do not need gas tanks.
No. Hardtank machines brew without single-use filters, which cuts waste and ongoing costs.
Every Hardtank has automatic cleaning and sanitation programmes, so there is no manual scrubbing.
A permanent filtered water connection is recommended for daily use. For events or sites without plumbing, it can be filled by hand or with an external pump.
Cold brew coffee, tea, cascara, herbal infusions and cocktails. You can infuse spirits up to 60% ABV. Use lower sugar spirits, as thick liquids can damage the machine.
