Franke Coffee Systems has introduced the New A Line of fully automatic coffee machines at HostMilano 2025.
The new line debuts with two models – the A600 and A800 – both built on a shared platform designed to deliver consistent in-cup quality, easier personalisation and improved efficiency.
The A Line aims to address key pressures in the hospitality and coffee sectors, including rising quality expectations, operational challenges and sustainability targets. The machines connect to FrankeOS software and the cloud via FrankeConnect, enabling remote set-up, over-the-air updates and centralised recipe and price management.

Building on the reliability of the classic A Line, the new range introduces modular components and digital enhancements to simplify operation and maintenance.
Both machines feature the iQFlow extraction system for precise control of flow rate and timing, ensuring consistent flavour across locations.
The New FoamMaster system produces finer, undiluted milk foam – hot or cold – while supporting dairy and plant-based milks. PrecisionTemp allows beverage-specific temperature settings for consistent brewing across coffee and tea varieties.
Designed for both self-service and staffed environments, the New A Line’s interface offers two modes: Customer Mode for guests and Operator Mode for staff. Each unit can support up to three grinders, two powder hoppers, and an optional syrup station for flavoured drinks. IndividualMilk technology keeps separate milk lines to prevent cross-contamination between dairy and non-dairy products.
Operational efficiency is further supported by the IndividualClean system, which adjusts cleaning cycles based on use to save water, chemicals and time. The Dynamic Spout Light displays machine status, while the HeatGuard boiler reduces idle energy loss by up to 44%, improving sustainability and component longevity.
The New A Line also features a refreshed aesthetic, combining matte and satin finishes, steel components and modular add-ons in Onyx, Granite and Mahogany tones.
Marco Zancolò, CEO of Franke Coffee Systems, said: “Premium expectations are rising even as staffing and cost pressures grow. With the New A Line, operators get consistent in-cup quality at scale, true flexibility for dairy and non-dairy menus and simpler day-to-day running. All of this is backed by Swiss engineering. The New A Line is built for today’s realities and ready to evolve with future customer needs.”
