9090 Stovetop Espresso Maker, Orange/Red Handle by Richard Sapper for Alessi

9090 Stovetop Espresso Maker by Richard Sapper for Alessi

The 9090 isn’t just the first espresso coffee maker in Alessi’s history: it was also Alessi’s first object for the kitchen after the 1930s, the first of Alessi’s many Compasso d’Oro awards (1979), Alessi’s first object to be inducted into the Permanent Design Collection at the New York MOMA, andour favorite espresso maker.

Designed by Richard Sapper, the 9090 series features a novel closure mechanism using the handle, rather than the traditional screw on base. This results in easier and tighter closure.

Please note that a ‘cup’ is in espresso terms, not in fluid ounces. The best selling version is the 6 Cup, which can make a large cup of espresso-style coffee, as well as serving 4-6 people.
