Does Albany fit into your normal service area, or is it a special trip?

It's a normal stop, not a special trip. From the shop it's about 40 to 45 minutes up I-580 or Highway 24 to I-80, folded into the same day as our Berkeley and Richmond calls. Once a window is booked, you get the arrival time in writing.

Do you stock Schaerer parts or order them?

Seals, water filters, milk tubing, and valves stay stocked on the van for same-visit swaps. A brew unit, grinder, touchscreen, or control board gets special-ordered against your machine's model, and the lead time goes right in the quote.

What does it usually cost?

The diagnostic fee is $75, and it comes off the total the moment you say go on the repair. Nothing gets opened up until you've seen the price in writing.

Schaerer in Albany

Schaerer commercial service.

Albany packs its coffee volume onto one strip. Solano Avenue in 94706, shared with North Berkeley, carries a dense run of small cafes and bakeries, and San Pablo Avenue crosses it with more storefronts. In a city this compact, 1.8 square miles, a Schaerer Coffee Soul or Coffee Skye behind a Solano Avenue counter serves the same regulars morning after morning, so a machine acting up gets flagged by customers before staff even file a ticket.

We treat Schaerer work as independent repair, not Schaerer-authorized dealer service, so the diagnosis never steers toward a machine you don't need yet. From San Ramon, Albany runs 40 to 45 minutes on I-580 or Highway 24 to I-80, and it rides on the same Inner East Bay day as our Berkeley and Richmond stops. Every job gets a written quote first, and the electrical and water-line side of the boiler falls under our CSLB #1136642 license.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Boiler descaling for daily-regulars counters. A Solano Avenue counter pouring for the same crowd every morning scales its boiler just like anywhere else on East Bay water. We pull the boiler apart, flush the steam side clean, and build a filter and descale schedule around a long, steady cafe day instead of a single lunch rush.
Brew unit rebuild. A Coffee Skye running steady through a full Solano Avenue lunch and dinner stretch wears its brew unit gradually rather than in one bad week. Once shots go weak or start channeling, we disassemble the group, rebuild the internals, and set the pressure back to factory numbers.
Grinder and dose calibration. On a strip where regulars order the identical drink every day, a dose that's drifted off target gets called out fast. We inspect the burrs, clear any buildup, and walk the grinder setting back until the shot matches what the regulars expect.
Milk system and Best Foam repair. Albany's cafe and bakery counters run a steady stream of milk drinks through tight kitchens. We replace tubing that's gone brittle, scrub out the steam wand and valves, and fix foam that's turned watery or won't hold texture.
