It is time to say something about our friends at Fracino. Fracino are an exceptional company, and one we are very proud to be associated with.  Founded in 1963 by Frank Maxwell, and now helmed by his son Adrian – second and third generation engineers respectively – Fracino are the only espresso coffee machine manufacturer in the UK. They have won multiple awards for manufacturing excellence and export achievement, and sell their machines around the world. Our story with Fracino is more fundamental. Without their support from the first prototype espresso machine onwards, we would have struggled to get Velopresso off the ground, and we are indebted to Frank, Adrian and their team in Birmingham. Fracino celebrated their 50th anniversary in 2013, and we made a special livery with 50 logos to mark this achievement.
