Description from the seller

EXTREMELY RARE lever-operated Espresso Coffee Machine to find it complete and working
A true Icon of Lever Espresso Coffee Machines.
The MICROCIMBALI produced by Cimbali (Italy) in the 1950s-60s. Very well preserved aesthetically, equipped with accessories visible in the photos (filter, filter holder, measuring spoon and press).
The varnish/paint is still VERY beautiful and the machine is still functioning.
This is a FANTASTIC object of Italian Industrial Design to be Displayed with Pride, because it truly deserves it.
Height about 40 cm (which becomes about 50 cm when the lever is fully raised.)
Weight 8.5 kg empty (the machine is famous for its remarkable stability and robustness due to the heavy alloy of aluminum and brass).
Interesting the RED plaque fixed to its Base where IT MUST be read by anyone who wants to use the machine because it contains the INSTRUCTIONS.
I attach to this description the 2 video links (from my YouTube channel) where I show that the machine is working.
Remember that the Videos are an INTEGRAL part of the DESCRIPTION
