Re: Identify my camping stovetop?
The four-head one is great. The Italians obviously understood that one goes camping with equally civilised friends. And the adjustable burner is a particularly nice touch.
My burner has now done 4 or 5 double shots without needing a top-up of meths.
About two years ago I saw a single-cup model on eBay but alas, was outbid. The seller said his uncle had brought it back to the USA from WWII service in Italy.

Re: Identify my camping stovetop?
Theyre neat little brewers. Ive got this 4 head one I picked up a few years back with an adjustable height burner. A very neat retro art deco look to it. Mine could do with a new gasket as well as I sure dont want that rubber taste in my cuppa!

Identify my camping stovetop?
Can anyone tell me the likely origin and age of this camping stovetop which I recently bought on eBay (from the UK)? The base is stamped Gibizita*Depositata. It has its own meths burner and makes a surprisingly good pair of shots.
This one looked unused from new. The gasket still smelt strongly of rubber and flavoured the first couple of shots until i replaced it - fortunately an Atomic head seal, though slightly oversize, could be made to fit. (If anyone knows where I can get a seal with OD = 60mm and ID = 47mm, max 2mm thick, Id be grateful.)
