The LAFRANCO108 is a 2-group espresso machine built for commercial coffee extraction in cafés, hotel breakfast services, and high-traffic hospitality environments. It operates on 4200W heating power with dual 550ml brew boilers and a 10.5L steam boiler. The 58mm group heads and 9-bar rotary pump deliver consistent extraction under continuous service conditions.
Commercial Application
Two independent group heads allow simultaneous espresso preparation during peak service. The 10.5L steam boiler maintains milk texturing capacity while brew temperature remains stable. This configuration supports workflows where multiple drinks are prepared back-to-back without thermal recovery delays.
During breakfast or lunch rushes, dual brew boilers prevent temperature drop between shots. The 9-bar rotary pump maintains extraction pressure across both groups. Hot water and steam outputs operate independently of brewing cycles, reducing barista wait times between drink stages.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What boiler capacity does the LAFRANCO108 provide for continuous service?
A: The machine has dual 550ml brew boilers (one per group) and a separate 10.5L steam boiler. This configuration allows simultaneous espresso extraction and milk steaming without temperature loss. Steam capacity supports 15-20 drinks per hour depending on milk volume per drink.
Q: How many drinks can two group heads produce during peak service?
A: Two group heads allow preparation of 4 espresso shots simultaneously (2 double portafilters). Actual throughput depends on grind time, barista workflow, and drink complexity. Typical output ranges from 80 to 120 drinks per hour with trained staff.
Q: What steam wand configuration does this model include?
A: The machine is equipped with commercial steam wands on both sides of the drip tray. Steam pressure is supplied from the 10.5L boiler. Wand tips are replaceable and compatible with standard commercial frothing pitcher workflows.
Q: Does the LAFRANCO108 require water filtration before connection?
A: Yes. Water filtration removes scale-forming minerals that damage boilers and heating elements. A commercial softener or reverse osmosis system extends component life and maintains extraction consistency. TurcoBazaar provides filtration specification guidance upon request.
Q: What warranty coverage applies to commercial espresso machines from TurcoBazaar?
A: Zodex-manufactured units include manufacturer warranty terms covering defects in materials and workmanship. Specific coverage duration and exclusions are confirmed at time of purchase. TurcoBazaar coordinates warranty claims and spare parts procurement for registered buyers.
