A big Woot Woot.

The old Italian/Australian machines are really interesting and great looking. Thanks for the post.

What about it sorrentinacoffee this is in your neck of the woods??? It would look great with your collection!

Thanks for the tip off- that machine was just a few KM's from me. I put in a bid at the last moment- but got shot down in flames. It sold for over 2700 AUD. Superb looking machine- I had a more modern Boema espresso machine in my cafe and it was a great workhorse- never had a single issue in 2 years of hard use. I had no idea an Australian company made such aesthetically pleasing lever machines back in the 1950's.

I should have bid higher.... I will never forgive myself.

any one want to guess what that machine would be worth fully restored?

Hey,
sorrentinacoffee It's a damn shame You never bid higher! I had a newer Boema coffee machine in my cafe aswell and it never missed a beat! If I were more grounded I would have bid on that machine, but at the moment my little Elektra machine will have to do. I also wonder what it's price would have been redone? I think that machine was someones bargain for the year!

Cheers

Jade

I'm a happy Girl:) I really am. I'm finally in the lever club!
Today my Elektra MCal was delivered to me in person and I'm in awe or love not sure which. OMG... I had no idea how truly beautiful these levers are to look at and work with. I was double blessed with the base and matchy matchy Elektra cups all via a one-of-a-kind, truly fabulous seller on Ebay (sure makes up for the disaster I was sold on Ebay back in May). I am looking for a pdf or photocopy of the manual but other than that, I am giddy.

A photo might be nice....

That's a blue Peppina with another brand on it and a different shaped kettle and lever. Went for 100Euro's.
Seemed a rare bird, so i copied the photos, waited till the auction ended and posted them.
