The New A Line by Franke: where everyday efficiency meets Swiss precision
Built for the pace of forecourt business
In busy on-the-go coffee environments, every second counts. Guests expect premium coffee quality — quickly and consistently — while operators must manage lean staffing and long service hours. The New A Line from Franke Coffee Systems is engineered precisely for this reality. It delivers effortless interaction and high performance in both self-service and staff-operated setups, ensuring that every shift runs smoothly from open to close.
Ease of use here doesn’t mean fewer capabilities, but smarter ones: clarity, adaptability, and intelligent guidance are built into every detail.
Intelligent cleaning, simplified for long opening hours
A key innovation behind the New A Line’s ease of use is IndividualClean, Franke’s usage-based cleaning system. Instead of performing daily, time-consuming routines, the machine monitors actual beverage output and only prompts cleaning when required. System Cleaning can be programmed individually or triggered automatically after every 400 beverages or up to three days, while coffee and milk cleaning can now be performed separately. For quick hygiene between rush hours, Daily Care offers a light-touch routine to keep exposed parts spotless. Together, these features maintain top hygiene standards with minimal downtime and simplified maintenance — ideal for forecourts with extended hours and high traffic.
Milk flexibility without interruption
Ease also means no more manual switching or cleaning when changing milk types. With IndividualMilk, operators can alternate effortlessly between dairy and plant-based options, without cross-contamination or container changes. The New FoamMaster complements this with consistent, barista-level milk texture, even at high temperature, at the touch of a button. Programmable foam profiles guarantee perfect results for any drink — no manual steaming, no extra steps.
Consistency without complexity
When it comes to coffee extraction, iQFlow™ handles the precision automatically. It manages extraction dynamics, flow rate, and timing according to programmed beverage settings. Once configured, no ongoing calibration or adjustment is required — every espresso, cappuccino, or americano is optimized to barista-level quality, every time.
Flexibility made simple
Each New A Line machine is factory-configured and built on demand, ensuring it aligns precisely with the operator’s business model from day one. Cooling units, dual milk systems, payment integrations, and more — all modular and scalable. This ensures no overcomplication, no underutilization, and reduces the need for extensive staff training.
Smart connectivity for multi-site operators
Through FrankeConnect, the secure IoT bridge between FrankeOS and FrankeCloud, operators gain full control of their coffee fleet remotely. They can perform diagnostics, software updates, menu uploads, and UI customizations without on-site intervention — reducing downtime and maintenance costs across multiple forecourt locations.
Visual clarity, instant confidence
Ease of use also means knowing what’s happening — at a glance. The Dynamic Spout Light communicates status instantly with color-coded signals (Standby, Ready, Moving, Cleaning, Warning, Notification) visible across the counter, all mirrored on-screen. Meanwhile, the modern Graphical User Interface (GUI) uses a clear visual language and step-by-step guidance for refilling, cleaning, and troubleshooting — helping teams stay confident and customers served faster.
Designed for today’s on-the-go coffee business
With its seamless combination of advanced technology, intuitive interaction, and practical design, the New A Line redefines ease of use in professional coffee service. For operators of C-stores and petrol station forecourts, it means consistent quality, simplified routines, and maximum uptime — every day, cup after cup.
