Why should a restaurant/hotel pick Franke?

Apart from the excellent in-cup-quality we stand for, our machines are known to be very efficient, intuitive and user-friendly. The reliability and service we stand for is, for every foodservice expert, the key to (financial) success.

What are your current hot products?

In March 2015, we launched a new generation of fully automatics — the A200 and the A600. These two products feature the flagship milk system, the Foammaster, a touchscreen user interface, and an integrated system that adds to the user experience and beverage quality.

Something else that is new in our portfolio is the capsule system ‘K fee Professional System’, developed with the capsule experts from K fee. It’s a standalone capsule coffee machine, and an integrated system that also contains our Foammaster fresh milk system — all that you need for B2B coffee convenience.

Trend in coffee in the current market?

We are seeing various markets grow fast — cultures that have coffee potential, which come from a tea background — such as China, for example. Throughout the world, consumers have an increasing awareness for quality and expect a good coffee offering throughout their day — at home, at work, and at all ‘out of home’ consumption points. This leads to a new demand for compact, yet high-end coffee machines that can be operated with ease, and are highly efficient since staff costs are a deal-breaker in foodservice.
