Bloomfield

Bloomfield has functioned as a primary innovator in the commercial beverage and smallwares industry since its founding in 1933 by Samuel Bloomfield in Chicago. Originally established as a manufacturer of display and pie cases, the company underwent a significant strategic shift in 1961 with the acquisition of the commercial division of the Proctor-Silex Company. This move transitioned Bloomfield into a leading provider of professional coffee brewing systems. Today, as a key brand within The Middleby Corporation—and specifically part of the core company following the 2026 spin-off of Middleby’s industrial food processing segment—Bloomfield serves as a foundational infrastructure provider for the global hospitality and office coffee service (OCS) sectors.

The brand is internationally recognized for its expertise in precision thermal management for hot beverages. Their technical identity is defined by the Electronic Brewer Control (EBC) and E-MAX systems, which utilize sophisticated sensors to maintain brewing temperatures within a tight tolerance of plus or minus 1°F. This level of accuracy is critical for extracting the full flavor profile of specialty coffee beans while preventing the bitterness associated with temperature fluctuations. Furthermore, the company’s ECO series of brewers utilizes a unique fresh water heat pump system that consumes energy only during the active brewing cycle, featuring an After Hours Mode that automatically reduces water temperature during periods of inactivity to extend the equipment's operational lifespan.

The product portfolio is categorized to accommodate a wide variety of service environments, from low-volume cafes to high-capacity institutional dining halls. Key categories include:

• Automatic and Pourover Brewers: Available in decanter, airpot, and thermal server configurations to suit different service styles.
• Iced Tea Equipment: Including high-volume tea brewers and concentrated dispensers designed for rapid throughput and consistent dilution.
• Hot Water Machines: Specialized dispensers that provide a constant supply of near-boiling water for teas, soups, and cereals.
• Glass Decanters: Notable for their patented teardrop shape and permanently bonded handles, designed to maximize heat retention and simplify sanitation.

The strategic value of Bloomfield lies in its integration within the Middleby global service and distribution network. This ensures that operators have immediate access to a massive inventory of standardized replacement parts and factory-trained technical support across North America and international markets. By focusing on mechanical simplicity and "plug-and-play" installation, Bloomfield reduces the technical barrier for staff while maintaining the durability required for 24/7 commercial duty. This commitment to reliability and temperature precision makes Bloomfield a primary partner for businesses seeking to maximize their beverage margins through consistent product quality and reduced utility overhead.
