This is a direct-fire espresso maker from Guzzini. I fell in love with the design a while ago and bought it, but I only used it a couple of times and then displayed it as interior decoration. The part where you put water in has deteriorated over time (see photo 4). There are no instructions or original box. I would appreciate it if someone who understands that this is a used item would purchase it. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to such things.
