A quick espresso at the counter is part of the lifestyle in the southern regions of Europe. While this coffee was originally served from traditional coffee plungers, there is now greater demand across all segments for a wider variety of beverages and a perfect coffee experience for customers, no matter what the location, no matter what the time. The basic prerequisite for this is consistently perfect in-cup quality, regardless of location or staff. To meet the growing demands of customers across Southern Europe in terms of coffee quality and beverage variety, Swiss fully automatic coffee machine manufacturer Franke has developed successful, customized concepts for c-stores and the self-service business, all based on its innovative Franke A line machine portfolio. Because today's customers expect the best coffee quality even from fully automatic machines in self-service.

Innovative features to support the coffee business

Whether Franke A400, A600, A800 or the Specialty Beverage Station SB1200 – all machine concepts aim to deliver perfect in-cup quality at all times, no matter if it is at the service counter or in self-service.

In particular, the flagship for the self-service segment, the Specialty Beverage Station SB1200, is packed with Franke Coffee Technologies to create the perfect experience for customers with an endless variety of hot or cold coffee beverages. Thanks to the innovative IndividualMilk technology, the full range of coffee drinks can be prepared with dairy milk or with vegan milk alternatives, guaranteed separately and without cross-contamination. In addition to the standard version, the SB1200 combined with the compact SU12 cooling unit now offers maximum flexibility and endless beverage choices even on a small footprint.

Contemporary coffee preparation means user-friendly, straightforward operation via touch display, consistently excellent in-cup quality, and maximum flexibility with the widest possible choice of beverages. And because every store and every location is different, Franke's fully automatic machines can be customized with additional features and extras – from a variety of cooling units, cup warmers and flavor modules to payment systems. Modern design that makes a good impression at any location is the hallmark of all A-Line models. This also applies to all add-on units. Fully automatic machines and extensions thus fit seamlessly into the ambience of the location.

Longer operating times, low follow-up costs

Implementing strict hygiene regulations with as little manual effort as possible is one of the main goals of Franke's integrated, fully automatic cleaning systems. After all, fully automatic machines that can be maintained and cleaned easily have longer operating times and thus lower follow-up costs.

Ensuring the best possible beverage quality and service, at all times and across all locations, is made exceptionally easy by using Franke Digital Services. With this, you always keep track of the coffee business, you can launch promotions centrally and you receive commercial and operational data about your coffee machine park in real time. This allows you to manage and optimize your coffee business centrally across all locations. Networked with Franke's own cloud, c-store operators also benefit from increased machine availability, better service, and faster troubleshooting.

Finding the right coffee machine easily

With the Franke Digital Coffee Machine Explorer, the digital platform for a personalized customer experience, it is easy to explore the complete Franke range of professional coffee machines online according to your own interests. Franke's own guide accompanies visitors and presents each coffee machine and its technology in a short video. Thanks to simple navigation, it only takes two steps to find the machine that suits your own business.
