Franke in Foster City
Franke coffee equipment in Foster City.
Foster City is a planned community built around its lagoon system, and the office campuses along Foster City Boulevard and the buildings near Foster Square run Franke super-automatics for staff break rooms.
A lot of the commercial space here sits inside condo and HOA-managed buildings, and I always clear a work order with the property office before I open a machine up, so nobody's chasing paperwork after the fact.
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.
- Brew unit and seal service. A break room machine here goes through the same daily grind as any office unit, and after enough cycles the brew unit's seals give out first, letting grounds and water bypass where they shouldn't. We pull the brew unit, replace the seals, and run it through a full cycle before return.
- Boiler descaling. We put boiler descaling on a set schedule here rather than waiting for a complaint, since scale creeps in quietly and brew temperature slips before anyone notices a change in the cup. Catching it early costs less than replacing a heating element that's been running hot for months.
- Grinder burr replacement. The break room units here see the same steady cycle count as any busy Peninsula office, and the burrs go the way burrs always do, worn smooth until the shot tastes flat. We replace them and reset the dose before anyone notices the difference in the cup.
Honest repair timing
