The number of lanes is simply the number of flavours a machine can serve at the same time. For example, the 3-lane can hold Karak Chai, Masala Chai and Cardamom Chai together, the 4-lane can add Kashmiri Pink Chai, and the 6-lane can also offer Karak Coffee and Hot Chocolate. All three machines are built for cafés, offices and restaurants.
