Hi guys, I've received this machine as a gift.



Some parts are missing: perhaps a cup and a pin fixing the cap.
As you can see the lever was connected to a plate, which was squeezing the blue gum ball (now dried up )
The air was compressing the water, which was forcing to pass through the coffee (there is a filter inside...).



Does anyone has any kind of information about it?

Lucio,

That is one weird looking little brother from another planet! It's an espresso machine for aliens! How is that supposed to work again? Squeeze a rubber ball? Is there any writing on it that might suggest an origin?

Your friends are playing "stump the collector" with you!

I'm sure I have seen this machine on pictures either in the lever gallery thread or on a youtube video from collector or both.
Edit:
herre is the post with the video: The Arrarex Caravel
but the machine doesn't appear in it (the video very much worth watching)
so it must be the gallery.

It will be a "mission impossible", but I'll make the coffee with it one day or another.
No writings, no marks... nothing.

Thanks, the video is mine.

It actually isn't a coffee machine. It's an early prototype of a hydraulic video game controller!

the white handle rond is the particularity of the old manufacture.
