Selecting the ideal soft serve machine from Taylor Company's diverse lineup can be a daunting endeavor. These machines vary significantly in size, flavor options, and product capacities, making it challenging to find the right fit for your business. This guide aims to simplify your decision-making process by exploring the essential features and considerations of each soft serve machine model.


Flavor Options and Innovations

The range of Taylor ice cream machines includes models capable of dispensing from one to two flavors, along with a middle twist option that combines both flavors. Additionally, machines are available that can switch between soft serve and shakes, providing versatility for any service environment.


For establishments focusing on a singular flavor, there's the opportunity to enhance the offering with the Flavor Burst system. This innovative accessory allows you to add up to eight different flavors from a selection of 38, all dispensed through a single spout. This feature not only diversifies your menu but also adds a colorful and flavorful twist to each serving, making it a standout choice for businesses looking to impress their customers with variety and creativity.


Placement and Setup

Another critical decision is choosing between countertop and floor models. Countertop machines are particularly suited for smaller spaces or venues where portability is necessary, and many models come with an optional cart to increase mobility. It's essential to ensure that your space can accommodate the chosen machine, with appropriate electrical and plumbing connections available to support the specific model and type.


Capacity and Efficiency

When it comes to serving capacity, Taylor soft serve machines offer a range from 8 to 60 quarts. For models featuring two flavors, the capacity typically remains even per flavor, ensuring a balanced output that can range from 8 to 36 quarts per flavor. It's important to consider the size of the mix reservoirs and the overall output when selecting a machine, as this will directly affect your ability to serve customers during peak times without frequent refills.


Additional Considerations

Other factors to consider include the physical dimensions of the machine, its weight, and the motor's horsepower, all of which can influence where the machine can be placed and how it operates under continuous use. Understanding these specifications will help ensure that the machine fits well within your operational setup and meets your service demands.
