Franke S700 Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine – FAQs

What is the Franke S700 semi-automatic espresso machine?

The Franke S700 is a hybrid espresso machine that blends traditional barista control with automated support. It features a manual steam wand and portafilter while integrating smart technology for consistency, temperature stability, and workflow efficiency.

Who is the Franke S700 semi-automatic espresso machine best suited for?

The Franke S700 is ideal for cafés, bakeries, specialty coffee shops, and restaurants that want to highlight the craft of espresso-making while ensuring efficiency and repeatable results. It’s especially appealing to businesses with trained baristas who want control without compromising speed.

What makes the Franke S700 different from a super-automatic espresso machine?

Unlike Franke’s super-automatic machines, the S700 allows baristas to manually tamp, extract, and steam milk using a traditional portafilter and steam wand. However, it also features automated support like programmable pre-infusion and temperature control, giving operators the best of both worlds.

What utilities do I need for the Franke S700 semi-automatic espresso machine?

The Franke S700 requires:

  • Electrical: 208–240V, 30A (confirm with DSL for model-specific details)
  • Water supply: Cold, filtered water connection with consistent pressure
  • Drain: Floor or direct waste connection
  • Counter space: Allow space for machine width (2-group or 3-group model), grinder, knock box, and workflow
  • Optional: Water filtration and a milk fridge setup for consistency and machine longevity
Does the Franke S700 semi-automatic machine support multiple coffee blends or recipes?

Yes. The S700 allows baristas to dial in multiple recipes and blends manually. It’s perfect for showcasing signature roasts, guest beans, or seasonal offerings.

Can the Franke S700 help reduce training time for new baristas?

Yes. While still barista-operated, the S700 includes support features like temperature control, pre-infusion options, and intuitive touchscreens to guide brewing steps. These tools help shorten training time and reduce inconsistencies across staff.

Does the Franke S700 offer any automation features?

Absolutely. It automates key variables such as water temperature, pre-infusion, and shot timing, while still allowing baristas to tamp and steam manually. It’s perfect for teams that want hands-on brewing with guardrails for consistency.

Can I use my own coffee beans with the Franke S700 semi-automatic espresso machine?

Yes, you can use any beans you like. DSL recommends partnering with local roasters for the best flavour profile, and our team is happy to support equipment calibration with your specific beans.

What is the cleaning process for the Franke S700?
