1. Alessi espresso machine
The 9090 is not only Alessi's first espresso machine but also the first kitchen appliance produced by Alessi since the 1930s. With it, Alessi won the first "Compasso d'Oro" (1979), followed by many more. It was the first Alessi object to be included in the Permanent Design Collection of the MOMA in New York. Additionally, it is the first multifunctional object, as it is a kitchen appliance but can also elegantly serve on the coffee table due to its high-quality design. Espresso machine, 6 cups, made of 18/10 stainless steel with a magnetic base. Handle made of die-cast aluminum.
2. Alessi Moka
The Moka espresso maker features a classic design: the Moka coffee or espresso maker.
3. Alessi Pulcina
The Pulcina espresso machine, designed by Michele de Lucchi, is a revolutionary Moka that combines the technology of illycaffè with the experience of Alessi. Cast from aluminum, Pulcina represents a small yet innovative and substantial project: its shape allows for the creation of the perfect espresso.
4. Alessi Ossidiana
Sicilian architect Mario Trimarchi designed the "Ossidiana" espresso pot with a keen sense of the narrative power of objects. Like his other projects, this one is also based on memories and fragments of images that are conveyed through the shape of the object. "Ossidiana" is reminiscent of the faceting of the traditional espresso pot and the volcanic rock glass that gives it its name.
5. Alessi La Conica
This coffee machine, designed between 1980 and 1983, emerged from the development of the "Tea&Coffee Piazza" operation, where prominent architects worked on a design for coffee and tea service. It was Rossi's first project for this large series. The espresso machine quickly became a bestseller for the then-young brand "Officina Alessi" thanks to its distinctive shape and became a symbol of 1980s design.
6. Alessi Espresso/Kaffeekocher Richard Sapper
Espresso machine, one cup, made of 18/10 stainless steel with cast aluminium handle. The 9090 is not only the first espresso machine from Alessi, but also the first kitchen appliance produced by Alessi after the 1930s. With it, Alessi won the first "Compa-sso d'Oro" (1979), which was to be followed by many more. It was the first Alessi object to be included in the Permanent Design Collection of the MOMA in New York. It is also the first multifunctional object, because although it is a kitchen utensil, thanks to its high-quality shape it can also be used directly on the coffee table.
7. Alessi Menhir
Designed by Michael Anastassiades, the Menhir espresso maker features an absolutely clear line. The name Menhir immediately evokes the power of a form with great symbolic presence: long stones, carefully positioned in the landscape, likely in connection with religious ceremonies or other rituals. The menhirs inspired this iconic tool, which is used for one of the most important modern daily rituals: brewing coffee. Dedicated to those who appreciate exquisite craftsmanship: a true gem of the workshop.
8. Alessi La Cupola
The Cupola Moka Pot by Alessi
As an architect, Aldo Rossi is always in search of the ultimate form: he reduces his buildings to geometric and ancient, very familiar basic shapes. He works in the same way as a designer: his famous espresso machine consists of cylinders, domes, and triangles that culminate in a small sphere. For Rossi, who drew very similar vessels as a child, this reflects the timeless archetype of the pot – a timeless investment that also makes a very good espresso.
The basic principle of a moka pot is always the same: water boils in the lower part of the pot, rises through a tube, is pressed through ground coffee, and then exits through a small riser tube at the top.
9. Alessi Pulcina Espressomaschine
A good day starts with the "Pulcina" espresso machine from Alessi. The architect Michele De Lucchi designed this espresso pot for lovers of Italian coffee. He created the shape for Alessi following research by the Illy company into the dynamics of heat flow.
The Pulcina espresso maker is capable of making a perfect espresso. By interrupting the flow of coffee in good time, the "volcanic" phase inside the boiler is avoided, allowing only a full-bodied, round flavour to rise to the top of the pot. Burnt or bitter espresso flavours are a thing of the past with the Pulcina.
After extensive research, the Pulcina espresso machine combines technology with Alessi's project experience. The design is derived from the ideal shape of the boiler determined by Illy. The name Pulcina is derived from the typical V-shaped spout, which is reminiscent of the beak of a chick, pulcino in Italian. It is designed so that not a drop is spilt when pouring.
Why does anyone want to know what happens when making espresso in an espresso pot? Because the aim of the study was to find the optimum shape of the espresso pot to improve the organoleptic properties of espresso and also to emphasise them more strongly. "Pulcina" is therefore the result of this research.
10. Alessi Pulcina Espressokocher
Alessi Pulcina - Espresso maker black, 30 cl
Launched in 2015, the Pulcina espresso pot has won people over thanks to its impressive shape and excellent performance. The originality of the stepped shape is further emphasised in the black version by the colour of the light. The Pulcina coffee machine, designed by Michele De Lucchi, has a small but revolutionary innovation in the water tank, which further enriches the full-bodied coffee flavour. Dedicated to all those who do not want to give up the flavour and aroma of coffee from an espresso pot, but also want to experience this everyday ritual in a special way.
Not suitable for induction.
