That is fantastic!
I've got to say that Barista looks like a young Ron Barassi (reference for AFL supporters).
Being Italian, I cut my teeth on the stove top Cafetiere/Perculator as most migrants could only dream of having their own Gaggia or E61 machine like they had in the old country.
Funnily enough, my eldery parents (born in Italy) still continue with their morning stovetop cup and save the "fancy" machines for a treat if they come over to my house. God love em!

If you like the original post take a virtual tour of Mumac I have set the link to get you started and you can then wander around MUMAC - Machine Museum Coffee - Google Maps Fingers crossed the link works, it is a bit clunky to navigate but with a bit a patience it works

That's a pretty amazing piece of history. It's a bit of a shame not much of that era seems to have survived, outside of the odd place on Lygon.
