Fracino Contempo 1 group semi-automatic traditional espresso machine

The Fracino Contempo 1 Group Espresso Machine is a compact yet powerful commercial solution designed for venues that require professional performance in a smaller footprint. Ideal for cafés, restaurants, hotels, and flexible service environments, it delivers consistent, great-tasting coffee with impressive output.

Utilising thermosyphonic circulation, the Contempo maintains stable group temperatures for reliable espresso extraction. Its 7-litre copper boiler and powerful looped heating element ensure rapid heat-up and fast recovery, allowing service to begin quickly and continue smoothly throughout the day.

The CON1E / LPG model offers exceptional flexibility, operating on gas (LPG or butane), electric, or dual-fuel, making it suitable for a wide range of installations. With output capability of up to 200 espressos or 120 cappuccinos per hour, it comfortably supports busy service periods.

Push-button operation gives the user control over shot volume, while the automatic group cleaning cycle simplifies daily maintenance and helps reduce downtime. Finished in polished stainless steel with a chrome-like shine, the Contempo also serves as a stylish focal point in any café, bar, or restaurant.

Hand-built in the UK using premium stainless steel, copper, and brass, the Fracino Contempo 1 Group espresso machine combines reliability, flexibility, and timeless design — delivering professional results in compact commercial settings.
