Sold Fracino (FCX 1), 1group Espresso Machine

Description

Both single and double portafilter handles with inserts, (the bit you put the finely ground coffee in) you will need a traditional style grinder to accompany this machine, as well as a coffee tamp and milk frothing jugs these are available online or I could advise...

Fracino are made in Birmingham and as such parts are easy to come by, I like them because there un complicated and they do what it says they make coffee...This machine automatically fills itself, and is thermostat controlled, to make a coffee you press the front green button, and after approx 21 seconds and approx 34ml (if your grind is correct) you press the green button off, simple operation, less to go wrong....

I have refurbished this machine, (approx 10 hours work, normally be in the region of £200 ) I think I am more qualified than some espresso machine sellers having spent over 18 years working on espresso machines for 2 of the UK’s leading coffee companies
I have descaled heat exchanger,fitted new seals where necessary, descaled the boiler, descaled and cleaned the group head and fitted with new seals and sieves.
The following items on this machine are NEW: Pump head, steam safety valve, anti vacuum valve, dispense valve and coil and 12 .5 bar expansion valve. Spares Cost £175
This machine approx 5/6 years old and has the normal wear and tear associated with an 5/6year old machine but I can honestly say this machine is in great condition, internally its solid and will give years of espresso enjoyment, so grab a bargain at what I think is a reasonable price. If I did not already own a 2 group Fracino on my Espresso Van I would keep it myself, please be aware there is a small mark/dent on the right hand bottom side possibly 3mm, but cosmetic...
I cannot offer a guarantee but will if there are issues try to make right I am not in the business of ripping people off I am trying to build up my reputation, so far I have sold around 17 espresso machines in the last 30 months and have had no comebacks from any customer, please take a look at my website www.iccts.co.uk and you can check my credentials.
