Franke’s Foammaster 800 (FM800) has been recognised with the Innovation Award at Intergastra in Stuttgart. The award acknowledges future-oriented products and solutions and uncovers the latest industry trends in the market. The FM800 makes a wide range of drinks, from classic coffees to hot/cold milk foam beverages, all with foam consistency. Franke Coffee Systems said in a statement that it designed the FM800 to present baristas and restaurateurs with a tool to unleash their creativity. The FM800 has a sleek black exterior, and offers versatility with its beverage program operated using a customisable touchscreen. The integration of the 10.4-inch touchscreen is designed to make the FM800 easy to use, both in full-service and self-service mode. The range of beverages can be displayed in four different operating modes which allow the users to customise their display preferences by adjusting the menus, drink images (customer images are also possible), as well as the cup sizes and the flavours. The beverage selection can be designed to suit preferences for any season and can be chosen using the touchscreen. The FM800 was also designed with cleaning and care in mind. The 'Clean+Clever System' from Franke allows impeccable and easy cleaning in a short amount of time. The FM800 balances first-class enjoyment while ensuring compliance with HACCP, and operator friendliness through an automation process.
