Alessi 9090 1 Cup. Espresso Pot Steel

Alessi 9090 espresso pot is a sculptural and beautiful pot with a capacity of 1 cup, corresponding to approx. 7 cl. Made in mirror-polished stainless steel - also suitable for induction.

The 9090 is the first espresso pot in Alessi's history and the first Alessi kitchen product since the 1930s. The pot was designed by Richard Sapper in 1978 and is a permanent part of The Museum of Modern Art’s design exhibition in New York.

The elegant, rocket-shaped espresso pot is truly a classic with over 2 million sold worldwide - the pot was the first Alessi product to win a Compasso d’Oro award, which is an Italian prize for industrial design.

The pot has a patented closure, which means the top and bottom are not screwed together like a traditional espresso pot. Instead, the pot is assembled by placing the top on the base and then pressing the handle down so it clicks into place on the base. The spout is also patented for its drip-free design.

The espresso pot should only be washed by hand! Can be used on all types of stovetops - including induction. If used on a gas stove, you should expect the pot to become discolored, and this is not covered by the warranty.

Richard Sapper is an award-winning German industrial designer who bl.a. has designed products for Alessi, Kartell, B&B Italia, Heuer and many more.

Also available in the following sizes: 3 cup, 6 cup and 10 cup

Note: Avoid leaving water in the pot after use, as it will cause rust. 

NOTE. Before you use the induction pot it is recommended that you test whether it works with your induction hob. This is done simply by placing the pot on the hob WITHOUT coffee or water in it, and feeling whether the pot heats up. Please test this on several of your cooking zones - the pots often work best on zones that match their size.
