A Arin, lever machine as it should, years 70/80 and manufactured in Spain.
The "trunk" of the machine is empty and serves only to stability. Everything is in front of the group who also serves as a tank (40 cl) and is heating element, piston and spring.
I asked the seller to pack the machine because the sides are plastic and I could see some arin with a broken corner, which was a pity because it is once again an excellent pick, the machine seemed out of the store.

N° 61179 A














as for campeona, maintenance pf a stud / screw


after a little cleaning


















next to the Europiccola, to get an idea of the size of this machine that looks like a toy.

Nice work! I hadn't heard of an Arin before. It does indeed look a toy! Can you post some shots from it?

thanks

First shot missed, I spend the next ...

Second much better, not great light and perhaps a bit too waited before removing.




I find it promising. Oh yes, there is a filter for just 1 cup as campeona.... machine for alone ...

Beautiful, Vincent! I don't care if it makes mediocre shots, it is wonderful to look at!

How big is the portafilter? 45mm?

52 mm

That is a hot little red machine....... I dig it! Nice find!! I can't wait to go to Europe again and rummage through the "thrift stores".........

sometimes, it's good





sometimes it's not good

What a great collection lovely little Arin

An happy new caffeinated year for you Vincent.

LOL!

Thanks for the outtake, Vincent! It reminded me of my first La Pavoni!



The good shot looks fairly nice. I hope you continue to improve your technique!
