Evolution 1-Step or 2-Step - how do you choose the right model? The Evolution 1-Step, a fully automatic machine that virtually eliminates barista error, makes cappuccinos and lattes at the touch of a button, with no need to measure out milk for each drink. The refrigeration unit feeds fresh, cold milk directly into the espresso machine on demand, and the milk-steaming wand is integrated with the dispenser system, allowing coffee and foamed milk to be dispensed simultaneously. The Evolution 2-Step, our most popular model, extracts espresso at the touch of a button, and steams a pitcher of milk, also at one touch. With Autosteam(tm), when the milk reaches your chosen preset temperature, the steam shuts off, so there's no need to monitor temperature with a thermometer. The 2-Step is both less expensive and easier to clean. The Swiss-engineered Franke Evolution was introduced to the U.S. market in 1998. Since its introduction it has quelled entrenched reservations about superautomatic espresso machines, becoming one of the most popular models in the country. Its success is attributable to durability, consistency and industry-leading ability to generate maximum profit in a minimum amount of space. The Evolution 2-Step is just 13" wide and 24" deep, yet it can comfortably average 250 drinks per day. Consider the average drink price for a cappuccino or caffe latte, and the sales potential is dazzling. To consumers, however, taste is the bottom line. Franke Evolution delivers consistently delicious beverages - your customers will savor premium coffee drinks and notably improved espresso flavor and freshness, without long and specialized staff training.
