Coffee with Control
Fracino's PID is the fusion of our extensive research and development programme, world class engineering skills and state of the art production methods.
The PID is available in 2 and 3 group versions. Each group has an independent boiler for optimum temperature control - settable between 80-115°C - for example, the user can set one group to 89°C and another to 92°C, whilst still maintaining the standard large capacity boiler for smooth-flow hot water and copious quantities of steam.
The Fracino PID offers an array of control and diagnostic features, allowing the user to adjust and fine tune various elements on the machine to create the perfect espresso time after time. Most of the features are controlled by a simple and easy to use LCD display mounted on the front panel.
The PID is available in a choice of gloss white, burgundy, black and stainless steel featuring an illuminated back panel.
