Dual Fuel Coffee Machines
A dual fuel machine runs on gas as well as electricity, which matters in exactly two situations: mobile catering where there is no reliable mains supply, and venues where the available electrical supply won’t carry a full commercial machine.
For horseboxes, trailers, festivals and outside catering, gas gets you a proper espresso machine with no generator. Our range includes the Bezzera Moda Professional and the Fracino Retro 2 Group — both full commercial machines, not compromised portable units.
Two things to plan for before you buy. Gas installation must be done by a competent registered engineer, and you will need a regulator and hose suited to your cylinder. Heat-up from cold is slower than electric, so allow for it in your service prep.
If your site has a reliable supply, a standard traditional espresso machine will cost less and be simpler to maintain.
Dual Fuel Coffee Machines
Serve barista-quality espresso anywhere with Dual Fuel Coffee Machines that combine gas (LPG or Butane) with electric power, making them ideal for mobile coffee vans, coffee carts, trailers, pop-ups and event catering. If you’ve searched for a dual fuel coffee machine, LPG coffee machine, gas espresso machine, or even “duel fuel coffee machine”, you’re in the right place for reliable, road-ready espresso equipment.
Dual fuel espresso machines are built for flexibility. Use gas heat when you’re off-grid or working with limited power, then switch to electric when mains power is available. That means you can keep serving consistent espresso and milk-based drinks in changing locations without redesigning your entire set-up.
