Alessi 9090 3-Cup Espresso Pot Steel

Alessi 9090 espresso maker is a sculptural and beautiful pot with a capacity of 3 cups corresponding to approx. 15 cl. Made of highly polished stainless steel - also suitable for induction.

This model is equipped with a practical "reducer filter", which makes it possible to make a single cup in the espresso maker, corresponding to approx. 7 cl.

9090 is the first espresso maker 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 maker is truly a classic with over 2 million sold worldwide - the pot is the first Alessi product to win a Compasso d’Oro prize, which is an Italian award in industrial design.

The pot has a patented closure, which means that the pot’s top and bottom are not screwed together like a traditional espresso maker. Instead, the pot is assembled by placing the top on the bottom and then pressing the handle down so that it clicks into place.

The espresso maker should only be washed by hand! Can be used on all types of stovetops - also induction. If used on a gas stove, 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.

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 cooktop. This is simply done by placing the pot on the cooktop WITHOUT coffee and water in it, and feeling whether the pot becomes heated. Please test this on several of your cooking zones - the pots often work best on zones that match their size.
