Bravilor Bonamat is a Dutch manufacturer of commercial and office-grade coffee machines, espresso machines and hot water dispensers, founded in Amsterdam by A.J.M. Verheijen in 1948. The company originally began as a wholesale reseller of espresso machines, before later branching out into manufacturing.[1][2]

Typical systems can also make hot soup, froth milk or brew other hot drinks in addition to coffee.[3] More recent units can store fresh milk in a separate internal container, instead of relying on powder.[4]

The company employs over 450 people in offices in Europe and the United States, and has authorized dealers in over 100 countries worldwide.[5] Production of units takes place primarily in Heerhugowaard, The Netherlands.[2] A second production facility in Białystok, Poland, opened in 2018.[6]
