Description from the seller

Incredible specimen of a vintage electric coffee maker produced by the historic Italian company RO-RE. This model represents an iconic piece of postwar domestic design, featuring an aerodynamic silhouette that evokes Art Deco style and the era's space aesthetics.

Made entirely of mirror-finished chrome-plated steel with white Bakelite finishes (knob and handle), it stands out for its distinctive curved spout with a swan-neck, designed for direct dispensing into a cup.

Technical Details
Brand: RO-RE (Made in Italy).
Materials: high-gloss chrome-plated steel, heat-resistant Bakelite.
Power: 220V (original electrical system).
Features: screw-on top cap with integrated safety valve.

Condition of the Item
The item presents in excellent cosmetic condition. The chrome is still bright and free of significant rust blooms, a sign of careful preservation over time. The Bakelite parts are intact, with no cracks or noticeable yellowing.
(Note: as an antique item, it is advisable to use it for display purposes or have it inspected by an expert before powering it up.)

Why buy it?
A must-have piece for modern memorabilia collectors or collectors of historic coffee machines. RO-RE is a less common brand compared to the classic 'Vittoria' or 'Stella', which makes this specimen a rarity difficult to find on the market, especially in this state of preservation.
