1.3Short description of appliances

1.3.1 Cafi na ALPHA

The Cafi na ALPHA is a fully automatic coffee machine, serving various coffee-based beverages as well as heating and foaming milk. A dual-section bean hopper and a feed-in hopper enable the processing of both whole beans and ready-ground coffee.

The basic version allows preset coffee beverages to be served with the Cafi na ALPHA. The serve command is activated by direct-selection keys located on the operating panel. Selection of beverages and additional functions (cleaning, operation statuses, fi ll level, etc.) are displayed on the operating panel.

1.3.2 Milk Cooler (optional)

Whether attached or self-contained, the Milk Cooler serves purely to cool milk. The milk container inside the appliance comes in two variations: either as a nine-litre version or with two separate chambers, each of which can hold four litres of milk. This dual-chamber system enables storage of two

various types of milk (e.g. whole milk and low-fat milk). Serving is automatic, depending on the type of beverages.

1.3.3 Cup Warmer (optional)

Whether attached or self-contained, the Cup Warmer has three levels with heating elements underneath them. It is possible for experts to preselect four temperature levels for the heating elements.
