La San Marco |
Espresso Machine Manufacturer |

|
| Notes | |
|
In the Fruili-Venezia Giulia region of far northeastern Italy, La San Marco machines, with their golden lion symbol, can be found all over the world. They aren't associated with the best espresso I've had, but they represent some of the oldest machines still in use today (the Serie 85). Which may say something about their durability and service support, but not necessarily something about the quality of what they produce.
The 85-16M-2 is a classic workhorse of 1990s coffeehouses that is still in frequent operation today. |
