Free shipping on orders over $250. Exceptional quality cold brew at home
Great cold brew shouldn't be complicated, inconsistent, or expensive to make. That's the idea behind Ho Tai Cold Brew System — a brewer built by coffee people, for coffee people, so your business can serve exceptional cold brew batch after batch, day after day.
We combine four decades of coffee expertise with precision engineering to give you a system that's genuinely easy to use, dependable, and profitable. If you're looking for a smarter way to brew, you're in the right place.
Every great product starts with a problem worth solving. For us, it was simple: cold brew tasted incredible, but making it well at scale was messy, slow, and unpredictable. Too many operators were pouring time and money into a process that fought them at every step.
So we set out to change that.
Ho Tai Cold Brew System was born from a partnership between a seasoned coffee expert and a skilled mechanical engineer. Together, they asked a straightforward question: What if brewing outstanding cold brew could be effortless, repeatable, and affordable? The answer became the system you see today — the product of years of hands-on experience, careful design, and relentless testing.
Bruce Parks brings more than 40 years in the foodservice industry to everything we build. In 1981, he opened Sacramento's very first coffee house, helping introduce a whole community to the craft and culture of great coffee long before it became mainstream.
Bruce's expertise runs deep. He received advanced training directly from Dr. Ernesto Illy of Illy Caffè, one of the most respected names in the coffee world. That rare, firsthand education shaped his exacting standards for flavor, quality, and consistency — the same standards that guide every batch brewed through our system.
To turn decades of coffee knowledge into a reliable, real-world product, Bruce partnered with Brian Schyberg, a Cal Poly graduate and licensed mechanical engineer. Brian brought the technical precision and disciplined problem-solving needed to build something truly dependable.
Together, Bruce and Brian designed, built, and rigorously tested multiple prototype brewers. They refined every detail — from performance to durability — until the system met both Bruce's uncompromising taste standards and Brian's engineering benchmarks. The result is a brewer that delivers on its promise every single time.
We believe the best equipment gets out of your way and lets great coffee shine. That philosophy guides every decision we make, which is why the Ho Tai Cold Brew System is engineered around a few core principles:
We didn't just want to make cold brew easier. We wanted to make it better — for you, your team, and your bottom line.
Our mission is to make world-class cold brew simple, consistent, and profitable for every business we serve. We combine genuine coffee expertise with thoughtful engineering because we believe you shouldn't have to choose between quality and practicality — you deserve both.
When you brew with Ho Tai, you're tapping into 40 years of coffee craftsmanship and the precision of true mechanical engineering, all working together in one dependable system. That's our commitment to you, and it's brewed into everything we make.
