I don't know what brand this machine is, but will you take a look at the size of that electric motor sitting on top of the machine?  Wow!

I'll buy it! Then I'll do another obnoxiously long thread about rebuilding it! Yay! :D

Yeah, no, I won't do that. :P

What's with the odd open part of the machine? Looks like a grinder fits there, if it has a short hopper.

That is likely the water pump motor.

I've never seen anything like it. A two group with a built in drip coffee machine. I'd like to do a restoration on it and put it in a museum.

Thats a standard size pump motor sitting on top of it.
