Franke in East Palo Alto
Franke coffee equipment in East Palo Alto.
East Palo Alto is a dense, working city, and the Franke units we see here mostly sit in office kitchens and restaurants near the Palo Alto and Menlo Park line rather than spread through the neighborhoods.
The $150 deposit includes pickup, bench diagnosis, and return and is not credited toward repair. Extra bench time is $150 per hour. Diagnostics can take up to a week; most repairs run 3–4 weeks. That is exactly why we recommend preventive maintenance: a maintained machine does not sit in a repair queue for a month.
We're an independent repair shop. We fix the equipment, we don't hold a Franke dealership.
Common repairs we do
What we close on the truck.
- Brew unit no-brew fault. A jammed or worn brew group throws a no-brew fault on the A-Line. We rebuild the group and clear the fault rather than just resetting the panel.
- Grinder dose drift. Worn burrs let the dose drift off target over time. We replace the burrs and reset the grind curve so shot weight holds steady.
- FoamMaster clogs. Milk residue clogs the FoamMaster fast if the auto-clean cycle gets skipped during a busy shift. We clear the lines and check the pump before calling it done.
Honest repair timing
A repair queue is easier to avoid than to rush.
We pick up the machine in East Palo Alto, diagnose it on the bench, and return it. Pickup and return are included, and you get the repair quote after diagnosis.
Diagnostics can take up to a week; most repairs run 3–4 weeks. That is exactly why we recommend preventive maintenance. A maintained machine does not sit in a repair queue for a month.
