@Bruce Manchan Hi, The espresso maker is not by Illy only the ground coffee. The espresso maker is not marked by a maker, the only mark is a stamp that says "Stainless steel". My wife hates it since it only makes a single shot of espresso and she is of the mindset that you should always make enough coffee to share. I have more espresso makers than is strictly speaking "necessary" for a family with only two people who drink coffee but if I see a espresso maker at a flee market that I don't have I usually pick it up. You never know when the kids start to drink coffee.... If you do a search for espresso you will find a lot of threads were I and others debate and show of our collections of espresso makers. My recollections are not very good anymore but I believe I picked this single shot maker new in a store in Budapest sometime in the last century. /Lars
