It's all happening tomorrow in Glasgow.
The unique opportunity to purchase probably the only of its kind in the UK.

We imported the machine 7 years ago from a collector in France.

Happy bidding.

Built by Record in Spain, labelled Juvara for the French retailer. Stunning two group machine with nice chrome, big boiler level gauge and great front.

The aluminium group covers and the levers need rechroming, everything else just a polish. Can be sold as is or serviced to your needs. We are open to reasonable offers ; )

It has been quiet, but watch this space for our big Spring Sale.

The following machines are up for grabs ; ) We consider sensible offers and can service the machine to your needs with a one year world wide warranty. But you need to ship it to the workshop in Germany ; ) Everything else we cover.

Lever machines
Faema President one group unrestored, great condition
Conti Empress one group, unrestored, great condition
La Pavoni TRE, one group, still original factory sealed and boxed, but 30 years old

Juvara Record, two groups, unrestored, good condition
La Pavoni Euromatic, two groups, unrestored, good condition
Unic Stella, one lever group and one hotel group, good condition

La Pavoni Bar with two E61 style groups, brand new in box

Gaggia America 3 groups with patina, fully serviced to 220V

We aim to restore machines to create value and also preserve their age. Great condition means, that the machines are in very good condition with minimal signs of usage.
Good condition means they need a polish and that´s it.
Patina means, that partly the chrome has worn off, but we rather preserve the wear and tear, because it took 50 to 70 years to create it. Rechroming you can always do, but it doesn´t create any benefit.

Tell us your needs, when you want a machine restored and we will give you a quote.

Pictures to follow soon. Thanks

Never let an artist teach you create wooden crates, they turn into a serious addiction. But thanks Francis Thorburn it was a real pleasure. And I miss the creative mind already, even he just took the train back to London today.

Now you guys can start guessing which machines will be in the boxes ; )

Made by Record, labelled Juvara by the French dealer in Paris. Another piece of history, going on the work bench soon.

La Pavoni Concorso 1955 with hydraulic groups. This are the days our technician never stops smiling. What a pleasure to bring such a rare piece back to working condition.

Tomorrow our Belle will head to Prague in a nice Club. Great machine, I will always prefer buying, restoring and collecting. Numbers on a bank account or a stack of notes are nothing compared to a piece of real craftsmanship.

Nice piece to run at home or as an extra in a shop. CONTI Empress. Available refurbished or unrefurbished with all spares to do your own project. I love it!!!
