Schaerer AG is celebrating a major milestone: the 100,000th Schaerer Coffee Soul has rolled off the production line in Zuchwil, highlighting the remarkable success of this versatile fully automatic coffee machine. First unveiled in its current generation at Host Milan in 2019, the Schaerer Coffee Soul has been in series production since October 2020. It has since delivered outstanding coffee quality worldwide with its innovative technology, contemporary design and intuitive operation – proving popular with everyone from owner‑run restaurants and hotels to international coffee shop and convenience‑store chains.
“Delivering the 100,000th Schaerer Coffee Soul is a special moment for us. Never before have we produced so many machines in such a short period – the Schaerer Coffee Soul is therefore the most successful machine in Schaerer’s history,” says Product Manager Sam Geissbühler. “This traction reflects our pioneering mindset and our focus on market trends and customer needs in every new machine and technology we bring to market”.

This year’s Internorga exhibition was all about the power of small details for Schaerer. “Sometimes, it’s the little things that make a significant difference. Visitors to our stand at Internorga experienced this first-hand, as we showcased three new, retrofittable features designed to enhance beverage quality and variety, enable fully accessible self-service, and significantly ease the workload for staff by optimising service processes,” says Hansjürg Marti, Managing Director of Schaerer Deutschland GmbH. At the Hamburg trade show, Schaerer introduced the Schaerer Coffee Skye, now available with the soon-to-be-optional Best Foam milk system, delivering barista-quality milk foam. The company also showcased a new, wheelchair-accessible user interface for the Schaerer Coffee Soul. Lastly, Schaerer demonstrated how seamless IoT connectivity enhances workflows, lightens staff responsibilities, and improves guest satisfaction through the Smartwatch Integration Solution, offered together with Turnpike.

The coffee business today is characterized by the demand for efficient preparation of speciality coffees, which relieves staff and reduces costs. At the same time, the expectations of the quality and variety of beverages are higher than ever. With a high level of process automation and flexible machine concepts that can be configured to meet specific requirements, Swiss coffee machine manufacturer Schaerer helps its customers master this balancing act. The latest example is the “2-step” configuration of the Schaerer Coffee Soul 10 and 12 available now. This variant does not feature a fully-automated milk system and instead offers steam wands with different degrees of automation for manual foaming. This has a few different advantages: Since milk-based coffee beverages can be served much faster thanks to simultaneous preparation of espresso and milk foam, the waiting time for the end customer is reduced, especially at peak times. Foaming in the mug also increases the flexibility of the product range in terms of milk types/plant-based drinks, meaning specific guest requests can be catered to in the best possible way. Another advantage is the lower investment and maintenance costs since no automatic milk system or cooling unit is needed.

The Schaerer Coffee Skye can ideally be configured for specific customer requirements thanks to numerous equipment options. Schaerer now also offers the Twin Milk system for the Schaerer Coffee Skye for an even greater variety of beverages with reduced staff workload.

The smartwatch on our wrist makes our lives easier in many areas today. Together with the Swedish wearable tech company Turnpike, Schaerer is now offering retailers an exceptional smartwatch integration solution for Schaerer coffee machines. This proactively informs employees about upcoming service tasks, thereby increasing both staff efficiency and machine availability.

In order to provide optimal support to customers when networking Schaerer coffee machines, Schaerer is aligning its digital range of consultation and solutions even more closely to the multifaceted customer requirements. These advanced products and services not only considers the individual business, but also how deeply the customer is already involved in the digital world.

Coffee specialities involving plant-based milk alternatives are increasingly establishing their place on hot beverage menus. Yet whether it’s a vegan or classic option you’re after, when you order a cappuccino or latte macchiato, you expect to see a perfect silky foam with a creamy consistency on the top.

The new Schaerer ProCare cleaning system turns what you know about the system cleaning of professional coffee machines on its head. For up to three months, the patent-pending concept cleans the coffee and milk system fully automatically – without the involvement of service staff.

When purchasing professional coffee machines, networking is playing an increasingly important role. Coffee machine manufacturer Schaerer is one of the pioneers in the industry when it comes to digitalizing coffee machine operations. With the Schaerer Prisma, the company is now adding a customizable API (application programming interface) to its digital toolbox that makes it possible to easily connect Schaerer coffee machines to customer-specific apps, software solutions and systems (e.g. CRM or ERP). “The Schaerer Prisma opens up almost unlimited possibilities for our customers to use digital functions to improve their coffee operations. Some examples are connecting to apps for ordering and payment as well as creating loyalty programs and operating coffee machines in unmanned convenience stores”, explains Sandro Bianchi, Product Manager of Schaerer AG. In addition to its ability to adapt to individual IT infrastructures and customer requirements, the Schaerer Prisma also functions as a local connection that enables significantly faster data transfer than cloud-based APIs, since the time for sending data between cloud and coffee machine is omitted.

At Internorga coffee machine manufacturer Schaerer will focus on the customised flexibility of its machines and services in different application scenarios.

As technology continues to evolve, many companies are asking themselves how customers can experience their products and services in a digital space.

For the Schaerer Coffee Soul as well as its successor model, the Schaerer Coffee Soul with the ‘Select’ concept, three powerful new features are available for the implementation of contactless preparation and payment processes.

With the new Schaerer Coffee Soul featuring the flexible ‘Select’ concept, the Swiss coffee machine manufacturer is setting new benchmarks.
