About the Brand
Schaerer has been building fully automatic coffee machines in Switzerland since 1892, and has been part of the WMF Group since 2016. The pairing brought together Schaerer's precision Swiss engineering with WMF's global manufacturing scale, and the result is a range trusted in offices, hotels, and high-volume horeca environments worldwide.
The Product
The Schaerer Skye is a slim, fully automatic bean-to-cup machine built to work practically anywhere — all it needs is a power point, or a direct water line if you'd rather skip the tank. It ships with three configurable graphical user interfaces so you can match the machine to your exact site, and its 750g bean hopper and integrated 4.9L water tank keep it self-contained on a counter or out on a terrace. Rated for up to 180 cups a day, it's built for restaurants, events, and offices that need a genuinely portable, fully automatic machine.
Key Features
Three Configurable Interfaces (Matched to Your Site)
Choose the display and workflow that suits your team, from simple to fully featured.
Integrated 4.9L Water Tank (Plug In and Go)
No plumbing required — set it up anywhere there's a power point, or connect to mains water instead.
8" Touch Screen (Over 100 Programmable Beverages)
Room to programme far more than a standard espresso and cappuccino menu.
Pure Foam Milk System
Consistent milk texture without a barista's hand on the wand.
Dual Boiler Design
A dedicated coffee boiler keeps temperature consistent under back-to-back orders.
"Uptime" Descaling (Less Downtime)
Descales without taking the machine fully out of service.
Slim Footprint (330mm Wide)
Fits counters and mobile setups that a full-size machine can't.
Who It's Built For
The Skye is built for restaurants, event caterers, and offices that need a fully automatic machine they can set up practically anywhere — counter, terrace, or pop-up. No fixed plumbing, no fixed location, no compromise on the coffee — built to go where the demand is.
