Another Rancilio:


Whilst we are doing machinery here is a nice vintage coffee dryer:

Apparently this advert would make you want to buy coffee, I am not sure why:

Published in 1965 – has brewing coffee changed much in 40 years?

    Hm, isn’t that coffee diagram from 1965 nearly the same one we got during Dublin’s ETCC? Interesting :)
