Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the cleaning process for a Franke coffee machine?
Franke coffee machines are designed for simple, automated cleaning with minimal downtime. Most models feature Franke CleanMaster, an integrated cleaning system that runs fully automatic cycles to keep the milk and coffee systems hygienic and operating at peak performance.
DSL supplies the full line of OEM Franke cleaning products, including cleaning cartridges, tablets, and milk system cleaners, along with hands-on training to ensure your team follows best practices. With regular use of CleanMaster and DSL’s Franke approved products, your equipment stays reliable, efficient, and ready to serve great coffee every day.
Can Franke coffee machines handle dairy alternatives?
Yes. With FoamMaster® technology, Franke coffee machines create perfect foam with dairy or plant-based milks, making them ideal for meeting customer demand for oat, soy, or almond milk options.
What is Franke iQFlow™?
iQFlow™ is Franke’s intelligent coffee extraction technology designed to deliver consistent, high-quality flavour in every cup. Unlike traditional espresso systems that rely on static pressure, iQFlow™ actively controls the extraction process throughout the entire brew.
By continuously monitoring and adjusting water pressure, temperature, and flow rate, iQFlow™ ensures optimal flavour development—bringing out more aroma, body, and balance from every bean.
For operators, this means better taste consistency across locations, reduced setup time, and less dependence on barista skill. iQFlow™ helps create the perfect espresso or coffee beverage at scale.
What is Franke FoamMaster™?
Franke FoamMaster™ is an advanced milk system that delivers perfectly textured hot and cold milk foam, just like a skilled barista. With fully programmable settings, operators can customize milk temperature, foam density, and consistency for each beverage.
Whether it’s a silky cappuccino or a layered iced latte, FoamMaster™ ensures quality and precision in every cup. It’s the key to delivering barista-level drinks at scale reliably, quickly, and consistently across all your locations.
What is Franke Digital Services (FDS)?
Franke Digital Services (FDS) is Franke’s cloud-based IoT platform that connects your coffee machines for real-time monitoring, data insights, and remote management. FDS helps operators track performance, beverage sales, maintenance needs, and cleaning cycles all from one dashboard.
With FDS, you can analyze trends, update recipes remotely, and reduce downtime through proactive service alerts. Combined with DSL’s 24/7 support and local expertise, FDS gives operators full visibility and control helping your coffee program run smarter, faster, and more efficiently from 1 machine to 100+ machines.
