When it comes to above-average performance the modestly sized Franke Evolution bean to cup coffee machine is certainly among the elite.

The entry-level model alone has everything you need. With its perfected technology there is virtually no task it cannot handle.

Its elegance is the delight of catering professionals, which is why the Evolution has such a huge fan base throughout the industry: in restaurants, bars, hotels, large canteens and even the vending sector. In short, it's a coffee machine with character and it excels in one particular area:

The art of excellent coffeemaking.

The focus is on easy operation. The large, clearly arranged product buttons are individually programmed and labelled. Whether in self-service operation with a maximum of 6 coffee products or in the operated version with up to 20 different coffee products: you're always in control.

The intelligent chip cards allow the user to set the key parameters himself in a matter of seconds, i.e. the amount of coffee to be ground and the amount of water and to correct any setting errors without having to call out customer service. After installation the optimum setting values are stored on a chip card, from where they can be downloaded at any time.

Variable and sturdy. With the height of the coffee/milk dispenser adjusted steplessly from 80 to 150 mm, you can use all the popular sizes of cups and containers without problem. The optimised coffee supply system and the combined dispenser guarantee that the coffee is always at the ideal temperature and that cups are filled evenly when using the double-dispenser system. The dispenser is extremely easy to dismantle and can be cleaned in a dishwasher without any problem.

With the Franke milk system, cappuccino, cafe latte, latte macchiato and hot and cold milk are whisked into your coffee cup in an instant.

The milk dispensing head is integrated directly into the coffee machine's dispense system, which means you can dispense coffee and milk simultaneously using a single or double dispenser. The milk output sequence is programmable either before, during or after the coffee.

The compressor refrigerator stores the milk at a constant cool 5 degrees C so that up to 6 litres of milk can be kept fresh for an extended period. The integrated electronic pump, which is electronically controlled and adapted to the programming of the coffee machine, ensures that the milk is dispensed in precise doses.

The modular milk system is easy to operate and to clean and is ideally integrated into the design of the Evolution. For an immaculate appearance the automatic rinsing and cleaning programme makes sure the milk is processed under totally hygienic conditions at all times. The entire milk system is rinsed automatically either each time a product is dispensed or after a pre-programmable period of time. The dispenser head is easily accessible and, if the need arises, it can be removed for cleaning without the need to call out customer service.
