Description

Di Pacci — Commercial Espresso Machines — USA

Fracino Retro Dual Fuel 1 Group — Piston/Lever Espresso Machine

The Retro is Fracino's tribute to the 1950s coffee bar — a manual lever machine in highly polished stainless steel. The Dual Fuel version adds the option to run on LPG or butane gas, mains electricity, or both together, with Fracino's gas burner delivering power equivalent to the electric element.

Pulling the lever drives a piston through the brass-bodied group for hands-on, physical extraction control. A 7-liter copper boiler and high group clearance keep it practical for daily service, and it's built to run fully off-grid on gas when mains power isn't an option.

Why the Retro Dual Fuel

  • Dual Fuel Flexibility — run on gas, electric, or both at once.
  • Off-Grid Ready — as little as 350W needed on gas mode.
  • Piston/Lever Group — brass-bodied, hand-pulled extraction control.
  • 7L Copper Boiler — solid capacity for a compact 1-group machine.
  • High Group Clearance — room for large takeaway cups.
  • Automatic Water Level System — probe-controlled refill, no guesswork.

About This Machine

How does the dual fuel system work?
It runs on LPG or butane gas, mains electricity, or both together — the gas burner delivers power equivalent to the electric element, so switching fuel source doesn't cost you steam pressure or output.
Can this machine run fully off-grid?
Yes. On gas mode it needs only around 350W, which a 12V battery and inverter can supply — enough for fully off-grid mobile operation.
What's the difference between Standard and Deluxe with Wood?
The Deluxe adds real wood handles to the lever, on top of the standard polished stainless steel body.
Is this a lever machine?
Yes — this is Fracino's manual lever model. Pulling the lever drives a piston through the group for direct, hands-on extraction control.
