What is an authentic Atomic coffee maker? The answer is simple and yet complex… I dont particularly like to participate in mud throwing… I have many versions and have restored so many machines. I hear so much banter about Authentic atomic’s.
We restore vintage espresso machines from Atomic to Faema vintage, gaggia,the whole shabang of stuff from the golden era of milan. This entry was posted in Industrial Design, Stuff to Buy by cookie. Shame they’re in Australia though, will be keeping my eyes peeled on eBay until I find a good one :) Jan 21 Recently the Atomic has been resurrected as the La Sorrentina Coffee Machine by an Australian entrepreneur (Ikon exports?) who has begun manufacturing a premium reproduction of the Atomic which is a best seller in Oz.įor us Limeys the brand new models are being imported to the UK exclusively by Atomic Coffee House, you can buy one from their site for £279.įor me the new ones feel a little cold, have a look at some of the beautiful vintage ones for sale here, the worn aluminium casing feels so much warmer and friendly. And if that’s not enough, you can get all you will ever want to know about the history, care & maintenance, restoring and making coffee with one from this Atomic Site from New Zealand. Maybe you fancy getting a secondhand Atomic, then check out the eBay buying guide. Or you can buy a whole book about the Atomic – Enduring Design. There’s a blog dedicated to nothing but the Atomic – Worlds Best Loved Coffee Machine. It’s been re-badged by various importers round the world, such as: Stella (Austria), Qualitat (Hungary), Robbiati (Italy), A&MG Sassoon (UK), Bon Trading (Australia), La Sorrentina and Thomas Cara. It was designed in 1947 by Italian Giordano Robbiati, it stayed in production (not changing a great deal) until 1986 when the factory burnt down. Anyhow fascinating stuff, there’s a quick summary of what I’ve found so far: It really seems to be a much loved and ‘cult’ coffee machine. I started to look into it a bit and was quite surprised to find vast amounts of info from all sorts of sources. Loved the look of it, beautiful curved lines and rugged mechanical utility. Ifirst clapped eyes on the stove top Atomic Coffee Maker on FutureConscious: Philly’s Wish List.
