Antarctica Equipment Introduces FPG Inline Barista

New Delhi, Delhi Jun 22, 2025  – As coffee shops throughout India gain popularity and expand, many encounter a shared challenge: optimizing their back-of-house operations while upholding customer service quality. Acknowledging this increasing demand in the café and quick-service sector, Antarctica Equipment, a prominent provider of refrigeration and food display solutions, proudly unveils the FPG Inline Barista – a revolutionary, high-capacity milk storage cabinet specifically designed for the barista workstation.

Crafted to integrate smoothly into busy café counters, the Inline Barista transcends the function of a mere milk refrigerator – it serves as a solution for both productivity and wellness.

Meeting a Growing Market Need

Given the rapid expansion of coffee culture in India, cafés are concentrating not only on preparing superior beverages but also on establishing safer and more effective work settings for their employees. Baristas, frequently standing for extended periods, often stoop to access under-counter storage, which contributes to fatigue, poor ergonomic posture, and operational bottlenecks during busy times. The FPG Inline Barista directly resolves these concerns by positioning milk ergonomically at the front, thereby saving time, alleviating physical strain, and facilitating First-In-First-Out (FIFO) inventory management.

Product Highlights

• Ergonomic Access Design: Eliminate back and knee strain – the Inline Barista’s top-entry design reduces bending and enhances operational flow.
• Large Capacity Storage: Perfect for busy cafés, it accommodates numerous 5L or 10L milk containers, guaranteeing ample stock even during peak periods.
• Slide-Out Drawer for Simple Access and Stock Review: Extend the drawer to immediately view the types and volume of milk available.
• FIFO-Compliant Arrangement: Inventory rotation is simplified with an inclined base, gravity-fed matting, and adjustable dividers, ensuring older stock is always presented first.
• Space-Saving Footprint: Engineered to fit beneath or alongside counters, without sacrificing storage volume or accessibility.
• Precise Temperature Control: Integrated refrigeration sustains optimal temperatures all day. Keeps milk at an ideal average core product temperature of +2°C to +4°C (Climate Class 4) for more than two and a half hours with the access flap open, which is perfect for peak times.
• Energy Efficient: Uses only 0.04 kWh per hour (average under Climate Class 4 conditions), equipped with environmentally friendly R290 refrigerant, and optimized with EC fans and automated refrigeration cycles.

Robert Darroch, FPG Managing Director and CEO, expressed excitement about introducing the Inline Barista to India. “Crafted from practical observations, it boosts productivity and employee well-being by minimizing stooping, improving inventory control, and accelerating coffee service – benefiting owners, staff, and patrons equally.“

The Inline Barista is available in two versions – a freestanding model with adjustable legs and another freestanding model with rollers.

The FPG Inline Barista is currently offered throughout India exclusively via Antarctica Equipment. Customization possibilities are provided to match café configurations and branding requirements. Bulk orders and Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) support are accessible for café chains and franchises.
