Fracino Dual Fuel Contempo (CONE-LPG)

The world's most popular Dual Fuel espresso machine

A unique espresso machine system that allows the user to operate fully independently of fixed supply services - creating the perfect solution for mobile operators or outdoor facilities.

With the same great specification as the Fracino Contempo machines, but with the option to use LPG, Butane OR mains electricity, they provide unrivalled flexibility and mobility whilst still retaining high volume output. 

During Gas operation, the control systems and rotary pump, where fitted, require a 240v electricity supply at up to 350w. This low power requirement can be easily provided by a 12v gel battery and 12v-240v Inverter to enable fully ‘off-grid’ mobile operation. A pressurised water supply is required by all models in the range. We recommend the use of the FloJet pump system when the equipment is to be connected to portable water containers.

The high powered gas burners for these machines provide the equivalent power of their electric counterparts, ensuring that there will be no loss of steam pressure during busy serving periods. Fracino are proud to claim that their gas machines are the most powerful in the world.
