1. Alessi Espresso machine

The 9090 is the first espresso machine in the history of Alessi, as well as the first of countless Compasso d’Oro awards and the first Alessi project to be exhibited at the MOMA in New York. It is the Alessi coffee maker that people love for its ability to be carried directly to the table to serve espresso. “I wanted to give this espresso machine a look that others don’t have.” With these words, Richard Sapper described his idea behind the design of the 9090 espresso machine. It was meant to be not just a mundane coffee maker, but a true "steam machine," to quote the inventor. Made from 18/10 stainless steel, the 9090 is unique not only for its conical shape but also for several useful innovations, such as the larger base for better heat utilization, or the drip spout and cone closure, which allows the coffee maker to be opened with a simple hand movement.

2. Alessi Moka

The Moka espresso maker features a classic design: the Moka coffee or espresso maker.

3. 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. 

4. 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.

5. 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. 

6. Alessi Moka Espresso Mugs

Alessi Moka Black - Espresso Maker, 3 Cups

The Alessi Moka, in its well-known shape, transforms and appears in a completely new, elegant black version. This redesign,
a tribute to Alfonso Bialetti's groundbreaking espresso machine, embodies David Chipperfield's vision of creating a timeless yet familiar object, much like the one that emerged at the beginning of the last century. The deep black color gives the Moka a distinctive character and exudes timeless sculptural grace.

"The espresso maker has evolved into a utility item that is as unmistakable as a bottle opener, a pair of glasses, or scissors. It has developed its own identity and is universally applicable and familiar. In the kitchen and in the everyday rituals of life, it has found its rightful place." - David Chipperfield

David Chipperfield has anchored his innovations in subtle details, such as the flat design.

7. 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.
 

8. Alessi Espresso Maker PULCINA Platinum

"Pulcina" has emerged from the creative mind of architect Michele De Lucchi and is an espresso maker for true coffee lovers. The revolutionary design combines a technology developed by illycaffè from studies on heat flow dynamics with the project experience of Alessi. "Pulcina" is the result of a long search: the participants aimed to discover how to optimize the shape of the espresso maker to enhance and highlight the organoleptic properties of espresso.

An analysis was conducted to understand what happens inside an espresso maker. Consequently, Illy was able to determine the ideal shape of the kettle – the lower part of the pot where the water boils – for perfect espresso. Thanks to the special design of the kettle's interior, Pulcina interrupts the coffee flow at just the right moment. This avoids the volcanic phase – that final moment of extraction that leaves a burnt, bitter aftertaste. Only the best of the coffee makes it into the cup, allowing its rich, round aroma to be fully enjoyed.

The spout is relatively pronounced. Its typical V-shape resembles the beak of a chick (it. pulcino). It is designed so precisely that it allows for drip-free pouring. Pulcina is practical, functional, and requires no special knowledge. The coffee is prepared just like in traditional espresso makers.

Features:
Capacity: 3 dl
Diameter: 12.2 cm
