Hand-built in Britain
Every Bambino is assembled by hand from 304 stainless steel, copper and brass at Fracino's Birmingham works — the only manufacturer of traditional espresso machines in the UK and Ireland.
Showroom
Fracino Bambino espresso machines, imported from Ireland
We select, import, install and maintain hand-built commercial espresso machines — and we teach the people who stand behind them.
What we sell
The Bambino — professional espresso at a workshop price
The Fracino Bambino is the only espresso machine we sell — and we sell it in four sizes, from one to four group heads. Every version is hand-built in stainless steel, copper and brass, with a large boiler, a hot water tap and proper steam arms for milk, available semi-automatic or electronic. We import each unit, install it on site, calibrate it with your coffee and stay with you afterwards.

Serious boiler power
Large-capacity boilers — 4L on the one-group, up to 22L on the four-group — with high-powered elements that keep steam and hot water stable through a full rush.
Semi-auto or electronic
Choose rocker-switch control for full manual freedom, or the electronic touchpad with four pre-programmed volumetric doses plus a manual override.
Built to be serviced
Simple, robust engineering and readily available parts mean a Bambino stays in service for years — and our maintenance team keeps it dialled in.
The range
Four Bambinos, one to four groups
Bambino 1 Group
4L boiler · 120–200 cups/hr
The compact Bambino. Perfect for bars, delis, offices and small coffee shops that want real commercial espresso on a short counter.
Bambino 2 Group
10L boiler · 240–400 cups/hr
Our best seller. Two group heads and two steam wands let two baristas work side by side through the morning rush without losing pressure.
Bambino 3 Group
16L boiler · 400–500 cups/hr
For busy cafés and restaurants. A third group head keeps a queue moving while milk is being steamed on both wands.
Bambino 4 Group
22L boiler · up to 600 cups/hr
The full-house machine for high-volume bars, hotels and event venues — four groups, maximum boiler capacity, non-stop service.
Every model comes semi-automatic or electronic, and can be paired with a Fracino grinder, knock-out drawer, tampers, jugs and scales.
