Re:My first EBay Atomic bid... - 2007/05/15 16:40 Well, this one is a first frother. The main black knob and the frothing knob are identical. The inside seals though for the frother are different than the later ones. It precedes the frothing Sassoon

I am possessed by two of these and I consider them to be the apex of the design evolution. During the same period THREE different ATOMICS were offered, a 1-2 cup with small jug, the regular common one without the frother and this one. Giordanno must have been able to afford his Renoir that two witnesses claim to have seen in his living room.

The frothing tip has four holes, the last ones only had two. The Sassoon had six.
This one has the perfect thickness for an excellent brew, whereas the Sassoon has thinner walls and heats up too fast. The coffee is a little watery.

Last but not least, the available knobs are a perfect fit. A purist could have it undercut to match the original. This was done so that it would dissipate heat fast and not crack. Seems that it doesn't work that well....unless the guilty owner let the machine stand on the stove too long after brewing. All in all, a good machine, the handle can be repaired with epoxy dyed black and smoothed over once set with extra fine sand paper.
