Espresso coffeemaker

Richard Sapper has let himself be tempted by the challenge of designing a coffee maker with reasonable price, producing an article worthy of someone of his calibre - one which recalls the expressive themes he holds dear, such as regular volumes (truncated conical and cylindrical) and handles made of moulded and folded plate. The result is a typically Alessi product, offered to the public at by far the lowest price of our entire range of stainless steel coffee makers. This new interpretation of the 9090 coffeepot, in its 3- and 6-cup versions, is entirely made of drawn and burnished stainless steel. The handle is also made of stainless steel and is bent and fixed to the body by spot-welding. The base is suitable for use on induction hobs.
