If you are making multiple fondue types at the same time, you absolutely need multiple fondue pots. However, if you are making cheese fondue one night and chocolate fondue the next, or one after the other in any time period, you can use the same pot as long as you fully clean it before making your next fondue. Some people will have many smaller fondue pots to make many types of fondue at the same time. This is especially true for parties with friends and family who love their fondue. However, for families, couples, or single people who enjoy a good fondue every now and then, using the same pot can be cost-effective and works great.
