Restoration of a soviet coffee maker ※ Old espresso machine

This is not an ordinary coffee maker made around the 60s. Chrome-plated aluminum body, ceramic dry heater. The design feature is that the heater is not immersed in water, which means that there is no scale formation. The second feature of this design is that coffee is brewed with hot steam, not hot water.
I received the coffee maker in a bad condition. The chrome finish has deteriorated, the plastic parts are broken.
I started the restoration with cleaning from chrome. This time I decided to try aluminum color anodizing. To do this, you need to grow an oxide film on aluminum, then place it in an aniline dye, and finally close the pores by placing it in boiling water for 20 minutes. Well, polish it. Such a coating is very reliable and is not afraid of any impact.
I got rid of plastic parts by replacing them with wooden ones. I think you've seen the full process.
Hope you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching and leave a comment.

Overall lovely work, but the choice of colour for the anodization was, frankly, abysmal. Red,blue, green . . . Anything would have been better. I love the oak though!

[@restorersnotes3225]

I myself was hoping to get a more beautiful gray, but it seems to me that this is not pure aluminum, but an alloy of duralumin. so the color is shit))

My father had the coffee maker.

Gostei do trabalho, porém achei que ia ficar polido.

[@restorersnotes3225]

the oxide film is several microns thick, so deep polishing is not possible here. If heavily polished, you can get a bare area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe aluminum case.

How much food safe is that lead coating???

[@bjarkewetlesensibbern1265]

Hi i have just bought the same machine.
Nice work youve done
How did you get gaskets for it? :)
Mine are hard as Stone, and crackled.
-kind regards Bjarke

[@restorersnotes3225]

Hello. I took heat-resistant silicone and cut it to size. works great, I still use this coffee maker)) although the process is not as fast as modern models.

I admire a lot your hard work but the end result is just plain ugly.

[@sinan6713]

Whats the name of the machine?

[@restorersnotes3225]

The specific brand/model name is not known. I just know that this is a Soviet coffee machine, made around 60-70

I have exactly this one

[@nomecognome8416]

Espresso???🤣😂🤣😆

[@restorersnotes3225]

Yeah, we didn't have the equipment for a cappuccino.

[@verseysv]

you are wrong, coffee is brewed with hot water, which is forced out by steam pressure.
