Coffee makers for bars, icons of Italian design

In Italy, when you walk into a bar, the first thing that catches your attention is the coffee maker that dominates on the counter, not far from the customers’ chairs. Sometimes it turns its back to the audience, sometimes it is backed to the wall, and then it’s the barista who will turn his back to clients when preparing an espresso. Anyway, the coffee makers are not only one of Italy’s most exported objects on the planet, but also an example of stylish Italian design.

The hundreds of professional coffee machines Mumac exposed to the museum coffee machine Binasco, on the outskirts of Milan, illustrate a century of history of  Italian technology and design. [nivo source=”current-post” ]
