Fracino Contempo Dual Fuel 1 Group Coffee Machine

The Fracino Contempo Dual Fuel 1 Group heats its boiler with LPG, electricity or both, so a coffee cart or remote site can run a proper commercial machine without a big power supply.

The Fracino Contempo Dual Fuel has a 7 litre copper boiler and one group with four programmable volumetric doses. Its LPG burner has electronic ignition, a flame-failure device and a gas pressure valve with low-flame adjustment, and you can choose to heat the boiler with gas, electricity or both together.

On gas, with the element isolated, it needs only around 350 W of electricity for the pump and controls, which a generator or inverter can supply. The high group fits takeaway and latte cups, and a flip-down espresso tray suits small cups. Fracino rates the automatic version at up to around 200 cups an hour.

🔥 Dual fuel heating

Heat the boiler with LPG, mains electricity, or both for faster recovery.

🎛️ Four volumetric doses

Programmable shot volumes keep coffees consistent, even with casual staff.

⚡ Low electrical draw on gas

With the element off, about 350 W runs the pump and controls from a generator or inverter.

🛡️ Gas safety built in

Electronic ignition, flame-failure device and a visible pilot flame through the front.

🥤 High group

Takeaway and latte cups fit under the group, with a flip-down tray for espresso cups.

📏 Compact footprint

About 375 mm wide, small enough for most carts and trailers.

How Dual Fuel Keeps a Cart Trading

A normal 1 group espresso machine needs a dedicated mains circuit, which most markets, sports grounds and roadside sites can't provide.

  • LPG heats the 7 L boiler, so the big electrical load disappears.
  • The pump and electronics draw only around 350 W, which a small generator or inverter can handle.
  • When you're on mains power, switch on the element as well to heat up faster and recover quicker in a rush.

You get commercial-quality espresso and steam almost anywhere you can park, which is why dual fuel Fracinos are common in Australian coffee carts.
