Curtis, part of the SEB Professional North America family of coffee and tea solutions, has launched its G4 GemX Narrow IntelliFresh coffee brewer with FreshTrac, according to a press release.

Since 2018, the Curtis GemX satellite brewer has enhanced beverage and foodservice operations nationwide. The GemX Narrow is designed to maximize counter space and double an operator's foodservice coffee volume.

"It features two streamlined satellite dispensers in the same footprint, doubling batch brewing volume, and expanding beverage versatility all while saving operators valuable counterspace," Emmanuel Couppey, vice president of marketing at the company, said in the release.

At 10.5 inches wide, the GemX Narrow's two 1.5-gallon dispensers fit side by side, allowing operators to brew three gallons of their best seller or feature an additional specialty coffee variety in the same compact space. The rotating brew basket makes it easy to brew into either satellite without changing their position.

IntelliFresh technology delivers digitally controlled pulses of heat to keep coffee at its ideal temperature regardless of volume. Four encapsulated sensor points inside each satellite monitor coffee level, freshness and carry the same intelligence on their stands when moved to a remote merchandising location

Curtis FreshTrac streamlines labor by replacing distracting, audible alarms and mechanical timers with a customizable system of three LEDs that glow and flash, letting operators track coffee freshness and volume from across the room.
