Welcome to Officina Maltoni
The temple of vintage espresso machine restoration!
Officina Maltoni - The Maltoni workshop
My passion for the coffee machines I have been collecting and restoring for 36 years now, and which led me to found MUMAC, the very first museum for espresso machines in the world, has further evolved with Officina Maltoni. This specialised workshop has been created in order to restore vintage Italian espresso machines used in coffee bars, produced between 1900 and 1970. I am working with Matteo on this new undertaking in order to satisfy the requests of all those demanding collectors searching for the finest quality.
The workshop
Set out over a surface area of 220m2, our brand new workshop features a range of specialised equipment which enables us to carry out a number of tasks independently. These include sanding with glass microspheres, cleaning with acids, reconstruction of electric heaters, turning and milling, buffing, polishing and soldering.
We have selected some exceptional partners, leaders in their sectors, to assist us in our undertaking, outsourcing the chromium work to Galvanotecnica and painting to both Fonderia Polverelli and Carrozzeria Fabbri.
Restoration
Restoration, be it complete or in order to preserve the current condition of a given machine, always starts with scientific and historical study. We use the Collezione Enrico Maltoni-MUMAC Museum archives, which house over 25,000 documents, patents, manuals and photographs in order to do so. This enables us to guarantee the authenticity of the sources on which the restoration work is planned.
