The Atomic Coffee Maker

This coffee maker was first introduced in the 1940's called the Atomic Coffee Maker. The design is stunning, with curves you could only find on a modern coffee maker. It looks like the pre-cursor to the single serve coffee machines we all enjoy today or perhaps more like a modern espresso machine, but regardless, the Atomic Coffee Maker is stunning.
The Atomic was reportedly designed in the UK in the 1940s, and certainly Sassoon-badged models record a 1947 British patent number on the label. The machines were however all manufactured in Italy, with Italian patents being held by Giordano Robbiati of Milan. The very earliest machines carry an Austrian patent by Stella in Vienna; these have a more “flattened” form and lack the later front plug in the water reservoir.
