So we see that Stern viewed the Atomic word as the name for that shape/style/design.ĭue to the ATOMIC trademark/name being used by all these manufacturers - over the course of time- the Atomic word became the name of the design itself. All those that obviously do not- are not. Over time the Stern variants to the design changed- but we see in the Stern product list that all machines that have the basic underlying form: are marketed as ATOMIC models. Yet if one looks at all these machine it is clear they are closely related and based on essentially the same design. We also know that Sassoon in the UK manufactured its own version. We now know that Stern patented his unique designs as did Robbiati- the machines of the two manufacturers are different one from the other. They will be referring to the distinctive overall shape- which is to say the general design itself. When they do so they will not be saying it is a Robbiati machine- a Stern machine- or whatever. What I am saying is simple: if you get an atomic coffee maker- whether it be manufactured by Robbiati, Stern, Sassoon, Szigony or in India, or in Taiwan or in China- and you remove the label from the machine- and then you ask someone "what is this?" they will answer, "It is an atomic" (unless they have never heard of them before). "In the realm of coffee makers, atomic refers to a design"

If you can explain to me how an Atomic badged moka pot (made by Brevetti Robbiati) can be "atomic styled" (to use your own wording), Please feel free to do so! (maybe i am not expressing myself clearly enough. Please tell me which part you are not clear about. The word "Atomic" has been used on a moka pot, on the "coffee machine for private use" (and this wether they have been manufactured in Italy, England, Hungary or Austria), on the Stella 105 and 105E, the 110 and 110E, the 402 and the 402E, and the 102, 102E, 104, 104E of course. He made use of his trademark on his coffee machines. The head of Stella, Desider Stern trademarked the word "atomic" for coffee machines internationally (several countries which included Italy) The Trademark was granted to him on the 20th of October 1951. Stella was manufacturing these coffee machines in Austria. Szigony was manufacturing these coffee machines in Hungary. There too, he applied a badge bearing the atomic name. On the 18th of september 1946, he patented a coffee machine for private use (mainly improvements of already existing coffee machines). At that time of production, he was applying a round yellow sticker on which was written "Atomic" "Brevetti Robbiati" (but in a different style than the badges we know). Giordano Robbiati was producing different household objects. well, he trademarked the name "Atomic" for Coffee machines. It looks like a moka pot as much as a disappointed horse looks like a disappointed horse.Īs to "prove Stern influence". The " atomic moka pot " i refer to, is part of a few italian private collections. I am thanking immensely deeply my contact(s) in Italy for the research undertaken and which still taking place!!!!!!! which gives the, from you mentioned ""Atomic Styled" coffee maker", a brand new flavour. for example on its Moka pots (most probably pre-dating the later machines we know). well, actually there is).īrevetti Robbiati was applying a Yellow Sticker with the name "Atomic" on its early coffee machines.

The first use of the name "Atomic" written on a coffee pot might have been by Giordano Robbiati (from what i know, i mean with this: there might be other machines bearing the name "atomic" i am unaware of. This includes to some degree even the modern Otto, certainly the Sorrentina Replica and others.Welcome back beanflying and many thanks for your contribution to the debate!!! So it is quite correct to refer to the Atomic as Robbiatis.Īnything else seems to be yet more waffle trying to prove Sterns influence after the fact.Īt this point in time a lot of years after then event the general style of that machine has NOW come to be an "Atomic Styled" coffee maker. Sterns usage of that name follows afterward. but "atomic coffee machine" doesnt refer to anything in particular, not a brewing system, nor a design, nor a manufacturer, nor a designer.Just what drugs are you smoking to arrive at this conclusion? Get over it the first recorded and verifiable use of the name Atomic in reference to a coffee maker was by Robbiati. There are "atomics" or "atomic coffee machines/makers".
