'A design seemingly made of one piece' (DesignPlus panel, 1999). Original iconic Alessi Coban RS 04 espresso machine by Richard Sapper (1988). Sapper used the name Coban to refer to a little town in Guatemala, in the middle of the coffee growing region that produces one of the best coffees in the world. His grandfather was a coffee planter there, and his father was born there. The Coban espresso machine embodies the perfect combination of form and function: the parts of an espresso - coffee beans and clear water - are presented in two pedestals and are connected by a connecting belt to form an excellent product. The machine as a whole is in good condition given its age, with some usual signs of wear and tear. No major visible defects. Portafilter machine with integrated grinder. - Removable water tank - Pre-heat display - Grinding level settings to set the level of fineness - Frother to froth the milk - Drip sieve and removable drip tray Complete with accessories as depicted.
