A: Though they sound similar, there are huge differences between super-automatic and automatic / volumetric espresso machines. With a typical automatic machine, the barista loads a portafilter with ground coffee, inserts it into the group head, and pushes a programmed dosing button. The machine will dispense the espresso and stop automatically at the right volume. The barista then steams the milk for a milk-based drink and adds it to the espresso. The Franke A400 FM CM takes automation much further. It grinds the coffee, brews the espresso, and steams the milk when the user selects the beverage from the digital menu. This super-automatic model is a one-touch machine that literally makes your drink while you wait. This is why it’s such a brilliant option for so many different kinds of businesses. Efficiency and user-friendliness like this is hard to beat. Q: What types of drinks can the A400 FM CM make? A: The A400 FM CM can be customized to make many different types of drinks. It can do traditional lattes, cappuccinos, and macchiatos. If you add chocolate as a machine option, it can make mocha lattes, hot chocolate, and cold chocolate milk. It also offers drip coffee, hot water for teas, and a ton of customizable options to make your own personalized drink orders. The kind of drink it doesn’t make is a flavored syrup drink. If you want that kind of functionality, check out the Franke A600 FM CM. Q: How does the Foam Master system in the A400 FM CM system work? A: The Foam Master presents a brand-new approach to steamed milk. It gives you the ability to add milk foam at different consistencies and thicknesses to any type of drink. It creates latte foam, cappuccino foam—whatever you want. If you want foam on top of a cold drink, this machine will grant your wish. Instead of frothing milk by hand (which is possible with the optional steam wand if you prefer), you’ll have beautifully steamed milk delivered by the Foam Master to any drink. Q: What is pre-infusion in the A400 FM CM and what does it do for the coffee? A: When an espresso machine features pre-infusion, you know that it’s great for serious coffee lovers. Pre-infusion is an extraction stage that happens before the pump delivers a full-pressure stream of water to the coffee. In this stage, the coffee is pre-wet and evenly saturated. What this accomplishes is balanced extraction of all the coffee particles. This is good for the final results. Because the extraction is enhanced, the coffee in your cup is more flavorful with all the nuances intact. Pre-infusion is added to the A400 FM CM as part of the machine’s quality-enhancing design, giving the user a more delicious cup of coffee. Show more
