Short 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 bever ages
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.
