The Italian Coffee Shop With One Of The World's Rarest Espresso Machines
BY ANNA STAROPOLI
The town of Pian di San Bartolo-trespiano in Florence houses the Accademia del Caffe Espresso: A coffee-themed museum with one of the world's rarest espresso machines.
Dubbed "Vespucci" after Amerigo Vespucci, this specialty coffee apparatus uniquely comes with five distinct espresso group heads made by specialty Italian brand La Marzocco.
Basically, it's five espresso machines in one, and it features each variation of the espresso machines La Marzocco currently makes. It's essentially an espresso maker on caffeine.
There are also seven boilers within the one machine. With no plans from La Marzocco for its reproductions or replicas, this model seems set to be one-of-its-kind for now.
