"Drawing inspiration from the Italian love of Espresso and the renowned gourmet palates of the French, CONTI is strategically located in the heart of Monte Carlo and has been perfecting the fine art of commercial espresso machines since 1956..."

The Conti of Monaco has produced in the 60s two models of lever machine for domestic use,  called "Comocafè"

Interestingly, the second model of Comocafè is substantially identical to La Peppina of the FE-AR, to the point that the Conti was sued by Felice Arosio, the owner of the FE-AR, for unfair competition, as shown by the acts of French Cassation.

All the models are out of production and difficult to find.
