Most likely made by Giordano Robbiati- the machine features parts from his Atomic coffee makers. Date is unknown but it seems to be from the mid 1950's.

here is a rear view- it shows the Matian badge which is designed using the Robbiati font from Atomic machines from the 50's. The Martian is steam powered- the valve at the top send hot water to the group at the base. The capacity is very large- the jug holds more than a litre of coffee and the largest basket could easily gold 60 grams of coffee or more:
