In addition, a Cafina^® Life 2 Group and another Melitta^® Cafina^® XT6 are installed in the Women’s First Team building. Barista training for employees and relevant user groups supports consistent day-to-day operation.

The solution is designed to support a reliable coffee service even during peak periods, such as shortly before kick-off or during half-time. The aim is to provide fans, guests and employees throughout the stadium environment with a consistently high beverage quality while supporting smooth operational processes. In addition, a dedicated Melitta service technician is assigned to the club to help ensure the ongoing technical availability of the systems.
