A Brief History of the Arrarex Caravel

The Arrarex Caravel espresso machine, originally manufactured by Vetraria Ambrosiana Milano (VAM), has a rich history dating back to the 1950s. In the 1960s, production shifted to the Arrarex company, which continued manufacturing the machine under the name Arrarex Caravel until the 1970s. Despite minor aesthetic changes over the years, the design and technical principles of the machine remained largely consistent throughout its production period.

Consistent Design and Technical Principles

Throughout its production run, the Arrarex Caravel maintained a consistent design and technical principles. While there were some minor changes in aesthetics, such as different knobs, levers, and portafilters, the core components and functionality of the machine remained the same. Notably, changes in the piston style led to the availability of different seal sets for the piston. Additionally, early models featured a fixed shower screen, which later evolved into a spring-held system in later models.

Evolving Temperature Control and Heating Elements

Temperature control in the Arrarex Caravel initially relied on a bi-metal system that pushed a rod against a microswitch to regulate the heating element. However, in the last model, this mechanism was upgraded to a modern thermostat for improved precision. Similarly, heating elements underwent changes, with early machines featuring elements that could be pushed into a socket, while later models adopted a connector and nut attachment system.
