Automated coffee machine manufacturer Schaerer showcased the power of small details at hospitality trade fair Internorga in Hamburg, Germany, from 18 to 20 March.
At the 2025 edition of the event, the company introduced the Schaerer Coffee Skye, now available with the soon-to-be-optional Best Foam milk system. It also showcased a new wheelchair-accessible user interface for the Schaerer Coffee Soul machine as well as its Smartwatch Integration Solution, which delivers IoT connectivity to enhance workflow, lighten staff responsibilities, and improve guest satisfaction.
“Sometimes, it’s the little things that make a significant difference. Visitors to our stand at Internorga experienced this first-hand, as we showcased three new, retrofittable features designed to enhance beverage quality and variety, enable fully accessible self-service, and significantly ease the workload for staff by optimising service processes,” says Hansjürg Marti, Managing Director of Schaerer Deutschland GmbH.
In the second half of 2025, the Best Foam system will be available for the Schaerer Coffee Skye machine. It is designed to provide precise control over milk temperature and foam consistency. When paired with the Twin Milk system, the Best Foam is said to enable an even greater variety of coffee creations using dairy milk or plant-based drinks.
The “Barrier-Free Enjoyment” control concept for the Coffee Soul was specifically developed for wheelchair users. Due to be released in the second half of 2025, it has been designed to include easy-to-reach buttons on the drip tray for beverage selection and configuration.
Created in collaboration with Turnpike, the Smartwatch Integration Solution connects Schaerer coffee machines to Turnpike’s cloud services via custom software. Using the smartwatch system, staff receive real-time notification, allowing them to proactively address service needs such as refilling coffee beans or milk before issues arise.
