Vintage Atomic Espresso Machine

Atomic

I just came across this amazing vintage espresso machine in various conditions at eBay, and being the compulsive coffee drinker I am, I felt obliged to report this to other coffee lovers out there.

You have 15 hours to bid for this one, 1 day left for this one and this one, 2 days for this one and 5 days left for this one!

Atomic

This classic Italian stovetop coffee maker is designed by Brevetti Robbiati, made in Milano, Italy c. 1950. You can read user reviews for the machine here.

    This looks really interesting. I think it has moka system with more developed pressure control.
    As an Italo-Turk family we always use Moka, which I change every two years. But that´s not the same. We absolutely need one machine.
    Have you seen the Kitchenaid´s one? But I think I would like to have the famous LA PAVONI.
    Check this site(and be ready to laugh with the music):

    These machines are very cool. I wish we had so many options here in Turkey as well. I think I like ECL Espresso Cappucino Lusso (Pump Machines) the best…

    Cenk, that looks really weird :) Never seen any coffee machine like that before! Have fun with your new toy ;) By the way, thanks for your advice on photography. I did not realise that some people see other bloggers as rivals ;) I think it’s because I am just trying to have fun! Never mind… You are a kind person:)

    Hahaha, I was just checking my blog and realised that it’s not you who advised me on photoshop but it was Cem :) Ohh, silly me… I need glasses ;)

    But, yeah, you are kind so thanks anyway ;)

    hi, I am not sure if it is vintage coffee machine as I got one same like except is in red colour, I bought it back sometimes in early 1970 around 1971 probably in Sydney Australia and is made by Bonn Trading, immatter of fact I did not use for sometimes and yesterday I cleaned it and made some nice good brew of coffee, still working and i sure it will outlast me, made of very thick alloy of somekind anyway thought I send a little note..

    Hello,
    I have just today cleaned and tested my Atomic Espresso machine. As did Mario, I bought mine in Sydney from Bonn Trading - in 1983. It has been in storage for many years, so I am a little careful putting it back into use. The only difference to the picture is the spout on the coffee holder. Mine has a single hole at the centre. Are they still being produced??
