Description

Precision‑engineered espresso machines with independent group boilers

The Fracino PID series represents the fusion of extensive R&D, world‑class engineering and state‑of‑the‑art manufacturing. Available in 2‑group and 3‑group versions, each group features its own independent boiler with individually adjustable temperatures (80–115°C), allowing baristas to fine‑tune extraction for different coffees while maintaining a large central boiler for abundant steam and smooth‑flow hot water. The PID range offers advanced control, diagnostics and customisation through an intuitive front‑mounted LCD display.
