Krome

A Krome rinser puts the rinse where the work happens, so you clean a pitcher or glass in seconds instead of walking to the sink. Krome Dispense makes stainless steel pitcher rinsers for the milk station and a side spray glass rinser for the bar. Pick a Krome pitcher rinser by how it mounts: on the counter or recessed into it.

How Do You Choose a Krome Rinser for Your Milk or Glass Station?

Milk residue dries fast, and a pitcher rinsed straight after steaming stays hygienic and cooler for the next drink. That is what a pitcher rinser is for. A glass rinser does a different job: a quick cold rinse at the bar before the pour.

For pitchers, choose by how it mounts. A countertop rinser sits on the surface and only needs water and a drain, so it suits a station you do not want to cut into. A recessed rinser drops into the counter and sits flush, which keeps the milk station tidy and lets the water drain quickly. Pick the recessed style when the counter is yours to modify, and the surface style when it is not. Our pitcher rinsers page covers the wider choice.

For glasses, a side spray rinser tray sits on the counter with its spray at one edge of a drip tray, so it needs no cutout. That makes it a simple bar glass rinser for any counter with room for a surface tray and a drain run. Check the tray length against your counter before you order.

Last, check the plumbing. Every Krome rinser needs a water feed and a drain, so confirm where both will run and who is installing. Plan the station around your other commercial accessories so the rinser sits within a step of the espresso machine.

FAQ

Do I need a pitcher rinser if I already have a sink?

Often yes, because the sink is the slow part. A rinser sits at the milk station, so the barista rinses the pitcher in one move and goes straight to the next drink. Krome points to the same trade-off: rinsing after every use is more hygienic, but constant trips to the sink slow the line. If you make a handful of drinks an hour, a sink is fine.

How does a glass rinser work, and what is it for?

You press an upturned glass down on the rinser disc. That opens the valve and fires the spray jets into the glass, then the water runs off into the drain. Krome's spec sheet says to rinse with cold water before the pour, because a wet glass pours better. It also cleans residue from used glassware at the bar.

Is a Krome jug rinser the same as a pitcher rinser?

Yes. Jug rinser is the term many cafes use for the same product, a spray at the counter that cleans the milk pitcher or jug you steam in. If you searched for a Krome jug rinser, a Krome pitcher rinser is what you want. The only choice left is how it mounts, on the counter or recessed into it.

How do you install a Krome pitcher rinser?

You connect a water feed and a drain, and for a recessed model you cut an opening in the counter to the size on the spec sheet. Krome supplies an installation sheet on the product page for the recessed 300mm model. Have a licensed plumber make the connections so they meet your local code, and confirm the cutout before you cut.

Do I need a pressure limiting valve for a Krome rinser?

Krome recommends one when you connect the rinser to the mains water supply. The valve keeps pressure at a safe level for the spray assembly and the fittings behind it. Your plumber can fit it in the same visit as the water feed, so ask about it when you plan the install rather than after a leak.

Are Krome rinsers NSF certified?

Krome lists NSF certification on its pitcher rinsers, and the glass rinser tray's spec sheet marks the certification as covering the rinser only, not the tray. That matters if your health inspector asks. Check the certification line on the product page for the exact model you are buying and keep the spec sheet on file.

How do you clean a Krome rinser?

Keep it simple and do it often. The glass rinser tray has a removable grill, so lift it out by hand and clear the drip tray underneath. Rinse the stainless surface and spray area clean with water at the end of service. Krome publishes a cleaning sheet for the 24 inch glass rinser tray on its product page.

Where do I find parts for a Krome rinser?

Start with the model's spec sheet, which lists the part numbers for the size and finish. Rinser discs come in plastic or stainless steel, so note which one you have before you order. If a part is not listed on a product page, send us the model number and we will check what we can source.

Is Krome a coffee brand?

Not only. Krome Dispense builds dispensing and bar equipment, including draft beer towers, drip trays and rinsers, and the rinsers suit a coffee station as well as a bar. That is why the name also matches unrelated coffee shops in search. For your counter, the rinsers here are the ones that matter.
