3 cup electric coffee maker (60s)

A small domestic revolution with a retro flavour: the Girmi 3-cup espresso electric coffee maker, launched in the early 60s, is an authentic symbol of Italian innovation in everyday life. Inspired by the tradition of the moka but projected towards modernity, it represents one of the first attempts to bring the convenience of electricity to the ritual of coffee. Compact, functional and surprisingly versatile for the time, the Girmi espresso could be used on any electrical outlet, from the kitchen to the bedroom, to the office. And if there was a power cut? No problem: it was also the only electric coffee maker capable of working on the stove, thanks to its heat-resistant metal structure. Equipped with the patented “stak-bloc” technology, it was able to automatically detach itself at the end of delivery, guaranteeing safety and practicality. The brand's promise was clear: “A socket within reach and Girmi espresso will make you coffee!”. With its simple but distinctive design, today it is a collector's item, perfect for lovers of modern antiques and the history of Italian domestic design.
