A brass boiler, a long lever, and no pump. You lift the lever to let water onto the coffee, then pull it down to press the shot through by hand. The boiler holds 800 milliliters, enough for about eight cups. The group gets hot enough to burn, so hold the Bakelite handles. La Pavoni has sold this shape since 1961, and it still looks right on a counter.
