Franke in Millbrae
Franke coffee equipment in Millbrae.
Millbrae's hotel lobbies along El Camino Real and the office breakrooms near the BART and Caltrain station run a lot of Franke super-automatics, and they need to pour all day without a barista watching them. When one goes down, we're the crew that's actually certified on the platform.
We hold Franke Coffee Systems North America's A-Line technical certification, earned in June 2026 in Smyrna, Tennessee, plus the McDonald's IHT exam. Certified service technicians, not a Franke sales dealer.
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 replacement. Millbrae's higher-traffic Franke units, especially in hotel lobbies, wear burrs fast. We swap them and recalibrate dose so shots stop tasting weak or sour.
- Brew unit service. Seals, gaskets, and jam clearing on the A-Line brewer, the usual reason a Franke stops pouring mid-shift.
- Milk system / FoamMaster fix. Clogged lines or a failed milk pump ruin cappuccinos fast in a hotel lobby. We clear and rebuild the milk side so drinks come out right.
Honest repair timing
A repair queue is easier to avoid than to rush.
We pick up the machine in Millbrae, diagnose it on the bench, and return it. Pickup and return are included, and you get the repair quote after diagnosis.
