Faema - Coffee maker - Rare manual espresso coffee...

In this is a true jewel of Italian industrial design and the history of espresso: the legendary Faema Baby (Third Series), produced by the famous FAEMA Milano manufactory between the late ’50s and the ’60s. This model represents a milestone for collectors: a completely mechanical hydraulic-boost machine, free of electrical components, that uses an ingenious double-lean cinematic system (analogous to the principle of modern competition instruments like the Cafelat Robot). The espresso is extracted by manually pushing the two levers downward, after pouring boiling water directly into the group. The specimen presents itself in its splendid and highly sought original red color of the era, with the Faema logo clearly visible and embossed on the central forged body. The ends of the levers are in the classic “drop” shape in polished aluminum. Technical Details and Features: • Manufacturer: FAEMA (Fabbrica Apparecchiature Elettro Meccaniche e Affini) - Milan, Italy • Model: Faema Baby (Third Series) • Period: Circa 1955 - 1965 • Operation: Manual piston / hydrocompression (no electricity) • Materials: Aluminum die-cast body painted, levers in steel/aluminum • Included accessories: Original portafilter and aluminum cup/glass (as in photo) Object condition: The item is kept in vintage aesthetic condition very good, with a magnificent patina of time that authenticates its originality.
