Hi all I have been fortunate enough to obtain a beautiful Eureka superba. Has anyone information they have to share with this machine?

Yes, I have never seen one available before and this one fully restored. Just trying to find out more about them but not much info online. There are some in museums but not much else.

Thank you, John, for showing a machine that lives up to its name. Reviewing Enrico Maltoni's gallery today I saw that he has a one-group in his collection. He may be able to tell you more about your two-group masterpiece.

This model can be found in various collections: the MUMAC, Espressomachinen, Caffè Cagliari and Daniel di Paolo's.
As stated on the Cagliari website, it was produced in 1956 by the "Officine Eureka", a company founded in the 1950 by fratelli Merialdi in Genova (not related to the Firenze grinder company).
This "jukebox style" machine was also sold by Astoria under the name "Regina" (as the one present in the Palomino espresso bakery in Sydney).
