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 Soul is a genuine workhorse — one machine, two sizes (Soul 10 and Soul 12), and three built-in user interfaces for Guest, Frequent User, and Staff modes. At just 33cm wide with a high-resolution touch screen that can also display promotional video, it's built to handle a busy kitchen or counter without taking up the space a machine that size usually needs. Rated at up to 250 cups a day, it's designed for restaurants, hotels, fuel stations, and convenience stores that need serious daily volume.
Key Features
Three Built-In Interfaces (Guest, Frequent User, Staff)
Staff Mode strips instructions down to the basics, so even an untrained team member can run the machine confidently.
High-Resolution Video-Enabled Screen
Displays your own promotional content or in-house videos between orders.
10.2" or 12.1" Touch Screen (Soul 10 / Soul 12)
Choose the screen size that matches your counter and your traffic.
Best Foam Hot and Cold Milk System
Consistent milk texture across hot and cold beverages, no manual frothing needed.
Dual Boiler Design
Keeps coffee and hot water/steam temperatures independent and consistent under high demand.
"Uptime" Descaling (Less Downtime)
Descales without pulling the machine fully out of service.
250 Cups a Day (True High-Volume Output)
Built for continuous service, not just peak-hour bursts.
Who It's Built For
The Soul is built for restaurants, hotels, fuel stations, and convenience stores where coffee volume is constant and staff turnover is real. Three interfaces, one machine — built to work whoever's behind the counter.
