Dissolution of collection
Highly sought after collectors item for enthusiasts of this Italian designer!
An espresso machine icon.
Overall good used condition given its age, few normal traces of wear - hardly used.
Please note: The measuring spoon/tamper (black plastic) shown in the photos was replaced by a stainless steel measuring spoon/tamper, as the plastic spoon was damaged after the photos were taken. Check out the two last photos of the auction (stainless steel multi-function spoon).

Design by Richard Sapper
The Cobán expresso machine embodies the perfect combination of shape and function: the components of an espresso - coffee beans and clear water - are presented in two columns and are joined by a connecting band to form an excellent product.
In 1999, the jury of the Design Plus prize awarded the ‘Coban’ an award with the following words: ‘a design as though of one piece.’
