Fracino Retro Lever Espresso Machine

Description

The Retro is Fracino's 1950s-style lever espresso machine, made entirely in polished stainless steel with spring lever groups delivering 9 bar. It comes in 1, 2 and 3 group versions, as electric or dual fuel (LPG/butane and electric) machines, with a Deluxe version fitted with real wood handles. It suits venues wanting a traditional lever machine and mobile caterers who need to run on gas.
