I have been repairing the Franke Sinfonia machine for McD's about 6 months now. That being said I would like to predict a new plague of some sort is soon to follow due to the conditions some of their machines are in. This is not a rip on Franke by any means, what they do they do well, but if a machine is not cleaned...well I'll move on.
I do believe in the end we will all benefit from what McD's is doing. The people who purchase something from McCafe are not currently 'our' customers. They will try these drinks, like them, and think happy happy thoughts. Then one day while out walking past the cafe you own, or work at, they will do something they wouldn’t have done before. They will come inside and try your espresso drinks because they feel more familiar with the products you offer. It is then up to you to impress and educate them on what espresso truly is, dazzle them with those crazy designs you create on top, and most importantly BLOW THEIR MIND with the quality and taste.
This could be one year down the road or it could be five years but I believe this will happen.

By the way, I have never set foot in a Starbuck's - and since they started going superautomatic, I really never will!
The one's I've noticed have all been Franke.
They were using a Melitta Cafina C5 where I stopped yesterday - the prom princess just pushed the buttons, took it from the machine and slapped a lid on it - no latte art, not even a smile.

Do you think that eventually they will will buy out Starbucks and the two shall become one? Interesting times...
