The original Atomic Coffee machine was produced in Milan from 1947 up until 1984 when the factory burnt down. The early models are extremely rare, and look very different from later machines.

Although the basic shape of the body remains unchanged, the design has been progressively improved over the years. These days there are over 20 variations of the Atomic Coffee machine.

It is unusual for a design icon to improve over the years, but most people agree that the later Atomics were the most beautiful ever produced.

This web site will be updated as time permits, and will include a special section entitled 'People and their Atomics'. Send us an email with your Atomic anecdotes, tell us how you came by your first machine and send us any interesting photos.
