Di Pacci — LPG & Electric 2 Group Lever Espresso Machine

Fracino Retro Dual Fuel 2 Group Lever Machine

The Fracino Retro Dual Fuel is a 1950s-styled 2 group lever machine that heats its boiler with LPG, mains electricity or both, so it works where power is limited.

The Fracino Retro Dual Fuel pairs two dual-spring lever groups delivering around 9 bar with a 14 litre copper boiler that can be heated by an LPG burner, an electric element, or both together. The gas burner has electronic ignition and a flame-failure safety device, and the high groups take takeaway cups.

Lever groups don't need a pump to brew, which is why this machine suits mobile carts, markets and remote sites: on gas, it only needs a small electrical supply for controls. It's built in polished stainless steel in the UK by Fracino, and a Deluxe version adds timber trim. Fracino rates it at around 200 cups an hour.

Key Features of the Fracino Retro Dual Fuel

🔥 Dual fuel heating

Run the boiler on LPG, mains electricity, or both at once for faster recovery.

🎚️ Spring lever groups

Dual-spring levers apply around 9 bar without a pump, giving rich, traditional lever shots.

🥤 High groups

Room for takeaway and latte cups under the spouts.

⚡ Electronic ignition

Push-button lighting with a flame-failure device that shuts off gas if the flame goes out.

💧 Automatic water level

A probe and solenoid keep the boiler topped up automatically.

✨ Retro stainless styling

Highly polished stainless steel body, with an optional Deluxe timber trim.

Why Dual Fuel Works for Mobile Coffee

A commercial espresso machine normally needs a large electrical supply, which is hard to find at markets, events and remote sites.

  • On LPG, the burner heats the 14 L boiler, so you don't need a big generator.
  • Spring lever groups brew without an electric pump.
  • When mains power is available, switch on the element as well for faster heat-up and recovery.

You get a genuine 2 group commercial machine that can trade almost anywhere, which is why dual fuel Fracinos are a fixture in Australian coffee vans.

Retro Dual Fuel vs Contempo Dual Fuel

Two Fracino dual fuel machines, two very different ways of brewing.

Feature Retro Dual Fuel (2 gr) Contempo Dual Fuel (1 gr)
Brewing Spring lever, no pump Pump, programmable doses
Groups 2 1
Boiler 14 L copper 7 L copper
Output ~200 cups/hour ~120–200 cups/hour
Best for Busy vans and events Smaller carts, single barista

Di Pacci recommendation: Choose the Retro if you want two groups, lever-shot character and a showpiece on your van. Don't bother if you're a solo operator with modest volumes — the Fracino Contempo Dual Fuel 1 Group is smaller, lighter and easier to dial in.
