Dual Fuel – Frequently Asked Questions

What is a dual fuel coffee machine?

It’s an espresso machine that can run from LPG/Butane gas and/or electricity. That flexibility is ideal for mobile units without full electrical capacity.

Which model should I choose for a busy trailer?

The 2-Group versions (Retro 2 or Contempo 2) offer the highest output. Choose Retro if you prefer traditional lever operation, or Contempo for electronic dosing and high groups for tall cups.

Do you provide installation and finance?

Yes — we can quote for installation, training and finance options. Use the “View & Enquire” buttons or call 0800 44 22 99.

What extra parts do I need in a van/trailer install?

Typical installs require a pressure regulator & gas bottle, fresh water tank plus pump, and suitable hosing/fittings. See each product page for the published installation notes.
