The screen can be customised with drink icons, branding and simple instructions, making the coffee machine feel like a natural part of your service area. This focus on user experience is one of the reasons the Franke A400 is popular in offices, cafés, lounges and casual dining spaces.

Internally, the Franke A400 coffee machine has been designed for stable performance over the working day, with high-quality components supporting reliable grinding and brewing.

This machine is perfect for medium-sized offices, cafés and foodservice locations that require a broader drinks menu and higher throughput than a compact model can comfortably deliver. The Franke A400 coffee machine is well suited to sites where staff and customers expect both black coffee and milk-based favourites on demand.

It is an excellent choice for bakeries, delis, hotel lobby bars and business lounges wanting a self-service or staff-operated coffee solution that looks modern and is simple to use. The Franke A400 bean to cup coffee machine can sit front-of-house and become a visible part of your service experience without intimidating casual users.

For businesses comparing mid-range Franke commercial coffee machines, the A400 stands out where versatility and user-friendly operation are high priorities. It is ideal when you need a machine that can confidently handle busy coffee breaks and light service peaks without stepping into heavy-duty territory.

Questions we are often asked:

What’s the difference between buying a coffee machine and building a coffee experience?

Anyone can buy a coffee machine. But creating a consistent, high-quality coffee experience that customers love — that’s where expertise, service, and training matter. At Bruud, we don’t just supply machines; we help build your entire coffee setup from bean to cup.

How do I know which type of coffee machine suits my business?

Choosing the right model depends on how many coffees you serve, who’s making them, and how quickly you need to serve them. We help you work this out — whether that’s a bean-to-cup system for a busy office or a traditional espresso machine for a café that prides itself on craft.

Is it better to buy, lease, or rent a coffee machine?

It depends on your cash flow, forecast, and goals. Leasing can protect your capital and include maintenance; buying can be smarter long-term. We’ll walk you through the real numbers — not just the sales pitch — to help you choose what works for your business.

Why do two machines with similar specs make coffee that tastes completely different?

Build quality, water filtration, grinder precision, and calibration all play a role. We partner with world-leading brands because the engineering behind your machine directly affects taste, reliability, and longevity.

How important is after-sales support, really?

It’s the difference between a five-minute fix and five days of downtime. Bruud offers full support, maintenance, and training so your machine keeps delivering — because a broken machine means lost customers (and cold coffee).

What hidden costs should I watch out for?

Cheap machines often mean costly maintenance, poor efficiency, and inconsistent results. We’re transparent about pricing — including service plans, cleaning products, and consumables — so you know exactly what you’re investing in.

Can a commercial coffee machine really improve staff morale or customer satisfaction?

Absolutely. In offices, it boosts productivity and workplace culture. In hospitality, it enhances reputation and repeat business. The quality of your coffee says a lot about your brand — and we make sure it says the right thing.

How eco-friendly can a coffee setup be?

Modern commercial machines are more energy-efficient than ever, and we can advise on water-saving, waste-reducing options — from eco modes to fully recyclable capsules and filters. Sustainability doesn’t have to mean compromise.

What’s the difference between a domestic and a commercial coffee machine?

Commercial machines are built for consistency, speed, and longevity. They’re designed to deliver hundreds (or thousands) of cups daily, without losing flavour or performance. Domestic units simply aren’t built to cope with that level of demand.

Why choose Bruud over buying a machine online?

Because you’re not just getting a machine — you’re getting a partner. We tailor solutions, handle installation, offer full training, and keep you brewing perfectly day after day. When your business depends on great coffee, that peace of mind is priceless.
