Fracino Coffee Machines FAQs
Where are Fracino coffee machines made?
Fracino coffee machines are made in Birmingham in the UK. The popular coffee machine manufacturer was founded in 1963 by Frank Maxwell after he visited Italy on holiday. Frank was inspired to produce his own high-quality coffee machines to help people across the UK enjoy premium cappuccinos and espressos.Â
How does a Fracino coffee machine work?
Fracino coffee machines use a combination of hot water and steam to produce high-quality coffee every time. You rotate valves to release the hot water and steam, and the pressure is controlled by a triple contact pressure switch. The Fracino coffee machines have a copper boiler, an automatic water level system with a probe, electronic control unit and solenoid valve. The manufacturer instructions will give you more detailed information on how to use your new Fracino coffee machine. Â
How long for Fracino to warm up?
The time it takes for a Fracino coffee machine to heat up varies depending on the model and size of the machine. It takes approximately 15 minutes after switching the machine on for steam to pass through the steam tube.
How to descale a Fracino coffee machine
To help maintain the performance of your Fracino coffee machine, it’s important to regularly descale it. You need to use a specialised descaling solution and follow the manufacturer instructions. When wiping down the machine, you should use hot water and mild soap with a soft cloth. Make sure to rinse the soapy water off with clean water. You can use a food-safe, anti-bacterial cleaner to remove milk residue and coffee grounds off the steam nozzles and trays. Â
Are Fracino machines suitable for high-volume use?
Yes, Fracino coffee machines are designed for high-demand environments like cafes and restaurants. Depending on the model, you can typically produce between 100 to 200 cups of coffee per hour.
