Early Faemina

This is an original Faemina espresso machine that was produced in 120v which is quite rare. These machines are not easy to date, but according to the heating element, this machine was produced sometime around 1957-58. A cool feature on this machine is that it has 2 heating elements, a high and a low. This design was meant to get your water up to temp quickly as well as giving it the benefit of better steaming for milk. The switch is on the right side of the machine. The seals were all replaced. Both high and low heating elements work. Original levers and portafilter. the basket was supplied by Francesco.
