I can't remember the last time I found a classic bike at a thrift store but I did find this at Variety Village, complete, for the paltry sum of $7.99. It's probably early 60's, an electric Vesuviana. No serial number.
It's the 12 (espresso) cup model, and will make about 4 decent size caps or lattes.

It's so much better than the silly expensive Rancilio we got as a wedding gift, which burned out its boiler after 2 years.

Best. Coffee. Ever.





I even found a place to buy gaskets.

That's knives, espresso makers, any other C&V kitchen gear out there?
