This is very cool. To primitivenetizen's point, you may want to explain on the video a bit that this IS a true espresso machine that delivers 9 bar pressure in the portafilter. When I first saw this I didn't understand it was a piston machine and thought it was just like an Atomic (until I saw that shot, which looks mighty tasty!)
Interesting, but this looks like a pretty complicated process to get an espresso. I will take my La Pavoni any day, even over home machines at triple and four times its price.
Oh no...this IS an espresso machine and not a moka pot. OE has a breakdown of how this works on their site, and it actually has a steam driven piston inside that provides the pressure. It is not so different than a lever espresso machine.
Great presentation! Will you post a link to this vid on your website, or an embedded video after your excellent article on the Bacchi Espresso Machine would top/cap that off perfectly. {;-D
Has anyone done a taste test between this stove machine and semi-automatic ones say like the Rancilio Silvia or Rocket Giotto does this do as good a shot as those more expensive machines ?

This is NOT an espresso machine. It's a two spout mocca pot. Looks fancy and fun, I'll bet it makes a decent cup of joe too. Espresso it aint though.

I've now watched this artful presentation 4 times. IMO, It is your best work, and I'm enjoying my Bacchi. Still experimenting with the "wee beastie!"

Barb and Doug,
Just a beautiful video, and as was mentioned, wonderful music. Rachmaninoff meets Gershwin...sort of.
My turn to mess with this lovely toy. No vids, though, as I'm already shaky from too many Cremina shots.
Nicely done.
