La Sorrentina Coffee Machine
Mid–twentieth–century Milan designer Giordano
Robbiati achieved a spiritual union between
form and function when he devised a new type of coffee maker in the late 1940’s.
Loved around the world, Robbiati’s patented coffee
machine is a classic design of the 'Atomic Age'(1945–1960).
Known as the ‘Atomic’ it embodies the explosive energy and creativity of the post-war era of Italian coffee machine design.
It would be impossible to improve on the
organic lines and sleek modernism of Robbiati’s
extraordinary machine or to find a more versatile stovetop coffee maker. The quality and simplicity of the machine
ensures trouble free operation for a life–time.
The all new “La Sorrentina” Coffee Machine is the result of close collaboration between Ikon Exports, Australia
and the Bellman Company in Taiwan. Our goal was to produce
a new product worthy of the Atomic style machine. A love
of coffee and reverence for the beauty and functionality of the original design
united us in this endeavour. After years of refinement
the end result is a premium reproduction of Robbiati's patented
coffee machine, manufactured to the same dimensions and high standard.
In keeping with the original design only the best
materials are used to make “La Sorrentina” coffee
machines. Where possible modern materials have been employed to further improve the functionality and durability of the coffee maker.
Each machine is hand assembled and
tested to ensure perfection. “La Sorrentina” replacement
parts are compatible with vintage Atomic type Robbiati coffee machines
and are readily available online direct from sorrentinacoffee.
Each “La Sorrentina” machine is a truly wonderful coffee maker that will
last a life–time with a minimum of care. You can easily produce from 2 to 6 espresso
sized ‘shots’ and quickly froth and heat milk for delicious cappuccinos, etc . Ideal for the home and travel “La Sorrentina” Coffee Machines works perfectly on Gas and
Electric stoves. Be amongst the first to experience this new version of a premium design icon.
