    LOL - I had the model in mind but refrained from posting it for being too...in your face. :) Steampunk indeed - especially as the limited Riforma and Origine editions :) http://www.elektrasrl.com/en/espresso-machines/belle-epoque-origine-limited-edition/ http://www.elektrasrl.com/en/espresso-machines/belle-epoque-... http://www.elektrasrl.com/en/espresso-machines/belle-epoque-origine-limited-edition-2/ http://www.elektrasrl.com/en/espresso-machines/belle-epoque-... But joking aside, the nice thing with many Italian machines is that you get the industrial design even in lower price regions - hell, even a Rancilio Silvia or formerly the Gaggia Classic (before they butchered it) are quite nice when it comes to haptics, materials and controls/UI.
