Franke in Pacifica
Franke coffee equipment in Pacifica.
Pacifica's small commercial strip runs along the coast through Linda Mar and Rockaway Beach, and the cafes there keep Franke super-automatics going through steady tourist and local traffic.
I've opened up steam wands in Pacifica and found the tip pitted through in half the time I'd expect on the same part in Danville or Walnut Creek, and the salt air is the only real difference between the two.
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.
- Steam wand and tip corrosion. Salt air pits the steam wand tip and corrodes the seal behind it faster than anywhere else on our route. We replace the tip assembly rather than trying to polish through metal that's already corroded.
- Boiler fitting and gasket replacement. Corrosion works into boiler fittings and gaskets on the coast years earlier than it does inland. We replace the fittings before a slow weep turns into a real leak.
- Brew unit seal wear. The same salt air that gets into the boiler works on the brew unit's o-rings and seals, so we check and replace them on a shorter interval here than we would in Danville or Concord.
Honest repair timing
A repair queue is easier to avoid than to rush.
We pick up the machine in Pacifica, 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.
