Comparing Franke coffee machine output
We compare the output of Franke models to match a machine to your customer volume.

Coffee is one of the world's most popular and best-loved drinks. It has become an inseparable part of daily life, a way to start the morning in a good mood and with a charge of energy. Small wonder, then, that queues form in coffee shops for it.
You do not have to put a professional barista on the payroll to serve every visitor a perfect cup. A good, high-output coffee machine from the Swiss company Franke will do. This coffee equipment deserves particular attention for its advanced technology, high output, reliability and ease of operation. In this article we look at and compare what different models can do, so that you can pick the best option for your business.
Franke coffee machine output: what you need to know
The number of cups a machine can make per day is one of the most important parameters when choosing any coffee equipment. To pick the right output, you need to account for how busy your venue is across the day.
Settling on a suitable Franke model is not difficult at all, because the manufacturer offers a solution for every kind of business. Let us look at several popular models and compare what they can do.
Coffee machines for smaller venues
If you are looking for a compact machine for making coffee drinks, these models are worth a look:
- Franke A300. This series of fully automatic machines can make up to 120 cups of coffee a day. The model can be specified with the Foam Master (FM) or Milk System (MS) milk system. There is also the NM version to consider, without milk.
- Franke A400. This machine offers higher output — up to 200 cups a day. Several configurations are available:
- with the FoamMaster (FM) milk system and CleanMaster cleaning;
- with the Milk System (MS) milk system and EasyClean cleaning;
- the base NM configuration, without milk.
Franke super-automatics for larger venues
When the flow of customers is high enough, a machine with maximum output is essential. And the Franke brand has something to offer you:
- Franke A600 — up to 200 cups/day;
- Franke A800 — up to 250 cups/day;
- Franke A1000 — up to 300 cups/day;
Configurations vary, so make sure you pay attention to that. But even if you buy a machine with a limited feature set, it can always be extended by fitting add-on units, for instance:
- a milk cooler;
- a cup warmer;
- a syrup station;
- the Iced Coffee Module.
Very convenient indeed.
So that the machine serves you as long as possible and causes no trouble in use, buy a model with slightly more output than your venue requires. The machine should not be running at the limit of its capabilities.
Finally, it is worth noting that whichever Franke machine you buy, absolutely every model stands out for its high quality, reliability, innovative technology and ease of use. They can make a range of excellent espresso-based drinks in a short time. And the machines also have a stylish design that complements any venue's interior perfectly.
A Franke coffee machine will beyond any doubt become the true heart of your coffee business.
