How to choose a superautomatic coffee machine

The main criteria for choosing a superautomatic coffee machine that delivers consistent results.

Fully automatic Franke coffee machine

Modern super-automatic coffee machines combine advanced technology perfectly, making it possible to prepare good, aromatic coffee as quickly as possible and with minimal involvement of the human factor. These smart machines have become the number one choice for coffee shops, restaurants and more. They can hold a great many drink recipes in memory and make them in large quantities. That in turn not only takes the load off your staff but also serves a large number of visitors to your venue. Professional coffee equipment can also claim the following advantages:

  1. A perfect coffee in every cup. However many coffee drinks have been made, absolutely every one of them will have flawless quality, a full body and a bright aroma.
  2. Full automation of the process. There is no need to put a professional barista on the payroll or spend long training staff to work with the machine. Intuitive, simple operation is a great plus. Just choose the drink to be made and the machine does the rest for you.
  3. Ease of upkeep. All that is required of you is keeping an eye on the quantity of beans, milk and other additives from time to time. And do not forget to use the cleaning systems. These functions require no extra effort, since in the great majority of models they are automatic or need only the cleaning fluid added by hand.

Whichever way you look at it, a super-automatic coffee machine is equipment that helps extend what your business can do to real advantage. So having decided to buy one, you need to approach the question seriously. Below we set out what deserves particular attention, so that you do not get the purchase wrong.

How to choose a super-automatic

It is no secret that buying a super-automatic coffee machine is a fairly costly business, and every detail matters here. We have therefore gathered three important recommendations that will help you find a model which fully meets all your requirements.

  • build quality. The choice of coffee machines on the market is very wide, and that is genuinely welcome. But can every manufacturer guarantee uninterrupted, reliable operation? You know the answer to that question perfectly well yourself. As always, it is the market leaders who stay in the arena. Yes, a super-automatic from a well-known manufacturer may cost more, but here you are guaranteed high-quality equipment that will reward you with long, trouble-free service;
  • output. Professional equipment is designed for heavy duty, and for it to serve you as long as possible you need to account for the average daily number of visitors to your venue. For small coffee shops, for instance, machines that comfortably make 100-120 cups of good coffee a day will suit. If the number of people wanting a bracing drink is many times higher, then it makes sense to look at a machine delivering 200 or even 300+ cups a day. Remember, it is always better to favour machines with slightly more output. Any equipment systematically running at the limit of its capabilities can end up failing quickly;
  • configuration. It is the configuration that determines the set of functions the machine will have. Naturally you want everything at once, but it is not always possible to buy versatile equipment outright. Fortunately many well-known manufacturers today make it possible to build a machine up later, which is very convenient. So you can favour models with a base set of functions and extend them after a while.

What do we recommend, you ask? A super-automatic Franke coffee machine makes the best choice. Stylish design, modern technology, quiet running, high output, Swiss reliability, ease of upkeep, versatility and extended capabilities are only a short list of these machines' advantages. The Franke super-automatic range is quite wide, so everyone can choose the ideal option for their business.

Choose only the best to achieve more. And with professional Franke coffee machines that will be easier still.
