- CAFEPASTE Pro: dual-cup simultaneous printing; cake/pastry up to 12 cm; 1200 DPI; ~10 s per cup.
- CAFEPASTE Lite: single-cup; drink surfaces only; 1200 DPI; ~15 s per cup.

Throughput & use cases: cafés, high-volume counters, events and pastry
Real-world speed depends on bar workflow, queue management, and staff rhythm. CAFEPASTE Pro’s simultaneous dual-cup capability means the operator loads two drinks, applies Art once, and serves in tight cycles—ideal for rushes. Lite keeps a compact, one-at-a-time cadence that fits boutique or single-barista service.
- Busy cafés and chains: Pro reduces queue friction with two cups at once and ~10 s per cup Art Time, maintaining pace during morning peaks.
- High-volume events/catering: Pro’s dual-cup and offline reliability suit noisy, network-variable venues; QR personalization keeps lines moving.
- Boutique cafés or pop-ups: Lite’s ~15 s Art Time is sufficient for curated experiences with steady flow.
- Pastry shops and hotels: Pro covers drinks plus cake/pastry surfaces up to 12 cm for celebratory messages and upsells.
Consumables & operation: Pod, offline use, surfaces, resolution
Terminology matters. Consumables are Pods. Pod life is verified: efficient for 2 weeks after opening and 6 months sealed. Core printing works fully offline; QR workflows use internet. Output is crisp at 1200 DPI on supported surfaces.
- Pod lifecycle: 2 weeks after opening; 6 months sealed (store per label).
- Surfaces: coffee foam; espresso-based drinks with foam; suitable cocktail layers; Pro adds cake/pastry up to 12 cm.
- Not for: exterior cup surfaces or plain liquids without a printable layer.

Unique features and trade-offs
Verified uniqueness: no other device in the world offers all three: (1) full color (CMYK) + natural coffee-based classic brown in the SAME device; (2) art on drinks AND on cake/pastry surfaces up to 12 cm; (3) two cups simultaneously. (2) and (3) are Pro-model capabilities. The trade-off is simple: if you only need single-cup drink service, Lite is the leaner fit; if you need speed and multi-surface versatility, Pro leads.
