Gaggia Manual Espresso - Beautiful

Gaggia is well known for its espresso machines, but have you seen this one? This is the Gaggia 77002, a manual espresso machine that will have you pulling espressos like the old days. This chrome plated beauty has an excellent look and feel to it. By lifting the lever, a piston inside the group is raised allowing water under pressure to infuse the coffee in the filter holder. The lever is then lowered causing the piston to force the water through the coffee and into your cup making one or two cups of perfect café quality espresso. The machine has a water level site gauge located on the side of the machine. Capable of making 16, 2oz cups. Maybe not for the faint of heart, but looks great on the counter.
