Here's a neat garage sale find...





Does anyone know exactly what this is, and what I can do with it?

I assume that it's some soft of espresso machine, as on the bottom it says "expresso [sic]" and "imported from Italy". Inside there's a heating element and reservoir at the bottom, and a perforated basket that sits about 2/3 of the way up. The top black piece has a perforated round metal disk that covers the basket in its entirety, and above that a metal tube connecting to the pour spout valve.

I've searched the tubes high and low, but haven't found any mention of this type of device (or how to use it).

You ask me for a hamburger.
