The Fracino Contempo 1 Group is a compact, professional-grade espresso machine built for small cafés, restaurants, and hotels that demand consistent quality without compromise. Engineered and made in Britain, it combines thermosyphonic circulation with a top-quality copper boiler to deliver perfectly tempered espresso, shot after shot.

Whether you're running a busy brunch service or a mobile catering setup, the Contempo's dual-fuel capability — gas (LPG or Butane) or electric, or both — gives you the flexibility to operate wherever your business takes you.

Installation & Gas Safety

Installation and training are included. If operating on gas (LPG or Butane), the machine must comply with gas safety regulations — a COMCAT 2 certified engineer must conduct a gas safety test before use, and this must be arranged independently. Electric-only operation does not require a gas safety inspection. On-site installation at our premises can be arranged at an agreed cost. Please call 01634 724993 to discuss your setup.
