Common Questions and Answers

Q: What is the difference between a super-automatic espresso machine like the A1000 FM CM and an automatic machine?

A: Don’t let the similar names fool you. These machine types are designed according to two totally different ideas. 

When you use a typical automatic espresso machine, you grind the coffee separately into a portafilter (or use espresso pods), place the portafilter in the group head, and hit one of the brew buttons. The machines then delivers a programmed espresso shot, ending extraction automatically.

The A1000 FM CM does much more for the user. It makes the espresso from grinding the coffee to extracting and pouring the shot in the cup. It also adds automatically frothed milk to the espresso, building the drink in your cup from start to finish. 

Many people call this a one-touch system because you just press a button and let the machine make the drink, kind of like ordering your beverage from a barista and waiting for it to pop up on the counter. 

Whereas an automatic espresso machine is not going to give you flavored syrups and drip coffee, the A1000 FM CM can. 

Where versatility is concerned, the A1000 FM CM takes home first prize.

Q: What does the FoamMaster system in the A1000 FM CM system do?

A:  Franke wanted to make sure that users had all the control they needed from the automated milk frothing mechanism, which is how the FoamMaster system was created.

The FoamMaster tech enables the user to select any steamed milk density, texture, and temperature and add milk foam not just to hot drinks, but also to cold drinks. 

This creates virtually unlimited combinations. Users can make customized drinks just like if they were at the coffee shop.

Q: How does iQFlow work in the A1000 FM CM?

A: With the introduction of iQFlow, Franke’s espresso machines are allowing users to achieve levels of quality and customization that have previously been inaccessible.

iQFlow is what generates the individual tasting profile that you design. By applying uniform pressure throughout extraction and regulating the flow of the coffee, iQFlow also makes the coffee much more flavorful.

As it's a preset system, it's automatic. Baristas don't need to perform meticulous grind adjustments to achieve the same results.

With pinpointed accuracy, you can create a personalized extraction profile to ensure that every cup of coffee has the unique qualities you want to emphasize. It's a great way of making your product stand out in your customer's mind.

Q: What is the A1000 FM CM’s pre-infusion system and what does it do for the coffee?

A: Many high-end espresso machines come with a pre-infusion feature.

Pre-infusion is a stage of extraction activated before the full force of water is pumped through the coffee bed to deliver the espresso.

The coffee will be saturated in a gentle stream of water to soak every coffee particle, creating an even extraction. 

What this means for you is better flavor. The nuanced flavors of the coffee are extracted with noticeably better results.
