Franke in Albany
Franke commercial service.
Albany packs a real coffee scene into 1.8 square miles. Solano Avenue is dense with small cafes and bakeries shared with North Berkeley, and San Pablo Avenue adds more storefronts on the other side of town. The kitchens back there are small, so the Franke units we work on tend to be compact single-group machines squeezed into a tight footprint rather than the multi-group setups you'd find in a bigger space. ZIP 94706.
From San Ramon it's about 40 to 45 minutes to Albany via I-580 or Highway 24 to I-80, and we route Albany with our Berkeley and Richmond Inner East Bay stops. We work on Franke as an independent shop, not a factory-authorized dealer, and we write the quote before we touch the machine. The same East Bay water that scales machines up and down the corridor scales these too, so descaling comes up on nearly every call.
Common repairs we do
What we close on the truck.
- Compact brew group rebuild. A tight Solano Avenue kitchen usually has one Franke unit doing all the work. We rebuild the brew group, replace seals and the piston, and get extraction back to even.
- FoamMaster milk system service. Small storefronts along Solano still run heavy milk drink volume in the morning window. We rebuild the FoamMaster valves and injector so foam texture holds through the rush.
- Boiler descaling in a cramped footprint. Working space behind the counter is tight in most Albany cafes, and scale builds the same regardless. We descale the boiler circuit and clean or replace the flow meter without tearing the counter apart.
- Grinder recalibration for consistent dose. Steady drink volume in a small space wears burrs at a similar pace to a bigger cafe. We replace burrs and dial dose and grind back in so the machine holds through the day.

FAQ
Franke in Albany questions, answered.
-
How quickly can you get to Albany from San Ramon?
Figure 40 to 45 minutes from the shop, up I-580 or Highway 24 to I-80. We run Albany with our Berkeley and Richmond Inner East Bay days, and a booked window comes with a written arrival time. -
Do you carry parts for the compact Franke machines common in Albany?
Yes, brew seals, FoamMaster valves and tubing, grinder burrs, and descaler ride on the truck. Control boards and pumps for the smaller units we source per call and tell you the timeline up front. -
What does a repair cost for a small Albany cafe?
Diagnostic is $75, waived when you approve the repair. A written quote comes before any work, so a brew group rebuild or descale job is priced first regardless of how small the footprint is.
