If there has been a better looking or more clever espresso maker than this curvey aluminum Atomic blobject from Italy, I would like to know about it. Y2K compliant, all this machine needs is water and coffee inside it and a fire under it. The espresso drips into the pitcher provided. Once the water pressure builds up, the release valve is plugged with one of the red bakelite handles, which allows the steam to build up for steaming milk through the nozzle at left.
