When To Choose 640g Cylinders

The Direct Answer

Choose 640g when daily burn per kitchen sits under 500g, when bench space is tight, and when a single chef tends to own the dispenser.

The Slightly Longer Explanation

640g is the compact tier — built for low-to-mid-volume kitchens where the dispenser sits on a single chef’s section.

Changeover cadence at typical 640g burn is every two to five services, which fits the rhythm of patisseries, dessert bars, single-site restaurants, and hotel breakfast service.

640g is overkill if your daily burn is closer to 1kg per kitchen; you’d be changing cylinders mid-service and burning labour at the dock.

Buyer Checklist

Before you act on the answer above, run through this:

  • Audit current daily burn before locking 640g
  • Confirm storage suits bench-adjacent or under-counter placement
  • Compare per-gram economics against 666g for borderline volumes
  • Submit the qualification wizard with 640g and target pallet quantity
