Franke in El Cerrito
Franke coffee equipment in El Cerrito.
El Cerrito's San Pablo Avenue strip and the offices around El Cerrito Plaza run Franke super-automatics through steady daily volume, especially around the two BART stations. We keep them going.
We hold Franke A-Line certification, earned June 2026, so your A400 or A800 gets a tech who has trained hands-on with the brew unit, grinder, and milk system.
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.
Common repairs we do
What we close on the truck.
- Grinder burr and dose service. High-traffic counters near the BART stations wear burrs down fast. We replace and recalibrate for consistent shots.
- Brew unit repair. Seals, gaskets, and jams on the A-Line brewer that take a machine offline mid-shift.
- Milk system fix. Clogged FoamMaster lines and worn pumps that ruin foam quality. We clear the lines and rebuild the pump.
Honest repair timing
A repair queue is easier to avoid than to rush.
We pick up the machine in El Cerrito, diagnose it on the bench, and return it. Pickup and return are included, and you get the repair quote after diagnosis.
