Ciao a tutti!

I have already partially presented myself in LMWDP Rollcall.
I am a passionate collector of small coffee makers and coffee machines. I followed you by several years and finally I decided to join the forum.
I show you my little madness, enjoy .

If you have any question or need some information, do not hesitate to ask.

Welcome to HB! All I can say is WOW, quite impressive. How long did it take you to collect all those? I take it you are still adding to your collection? Is there a special one that you are hoping to find someday? I am sure you will find all levels of "madness" in these forums on a regular basis.

p.s I hope you have a good feather-duster!

Let's say 3 years, spending lots of sundays visiting flea market.
The only limit is my poor budget which force me to buy few machines.

Dust is not a big problem, every 2 -3 months i clean up all of them.

Since my last purchasing were well weighted, my simply dream is "THE" next coffee maker.

I wait... sooner or later another great item will appear, at a ridiculous price... and i will get it!

Welcome, that is an impressive collection. Thanks for posting the photos. I used to have a Moka da 9 (identified from your photos). I don't think I kept it after I lost the filter basket.

Beautiful. Are there any you take out and use on occasion?

90 % are fully tested, anyhow i use regularly the Atomics and other 4-5 depending on the quantity of cups i need.
Normally i prefer the Elektra mcal.

Filter should be easy to replace but moka needs to be used hundreds times before obtain good results.

Grazie, Lucio!

Una collezione fantastica! "FVG" means Fruili-Venezia Giulia, correct? Do you live near Trieste, by any chance? I wonder if you enjoy the Illy Caffe there -- if there is one place in the world where Illy should be fresh, it's in Trieste!

Ciao,
