Gaggia & La Pavoni espresso machine with pull rod

The pull-rod coffee machine once played an important role in the development of the coffee machine, and it was gradually replaced by the pump coffee machine because of the laborious operation, but today it is loved by some enthusiasts because of its retro shape, unique and exquisite workmanship.
