VINTAGE CONTI COMMERCIAL ESPRESSO MACHINE Faema' Description This is an incredible find! An original vintage Conti double piston-style commercial espresso maker. A perfect centerpiece for a high-class espresso house. Designed like a 1958 Cadillac, this 2 group machine has thick chrome housing and piston covers. Bakelite handles are complete and in good shape, with only one steamer handle showing chipping. Plexiglass warmer divider has etched Conti "crown" logo emblem, in perfect condition. This unit is in very good shape. The chassis bones are solid, power good, fills water and holds well. We were unable to test the heating elements because it is still set up for gas heating. Conversion kits are available, as well as gasket and other restoration parts. Piston springs are strong and clean. This unit is complete and with a few small mods should be ready to go into service.... or perhaps it should be in a museum, it is such a fine example of the art and design of the 50s era.
