Alessi 9090 6-Cup Espresso Pot Steel

Alessi 9090 espresso pot is a sculptural and beautiful pot with a capacity of 6 cups, corresponding to approx. 30 cl. Made of mirror-polished stainless steel - also suitable for induction.

This model is equipped with a practical "reducer filter", allowing you to make 3 cups in the espresso pot, corresponding to approx. 15 cl.

9090 is the first espresso pot in Alessi's history and the first Alessi product for the kitchen 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 is the first Alessi product to win a Compasso d'Oro award, which is an Italian prize in industrial design.

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

The espresso pot should only be washed by hand! It 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 others.

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 checking whether the pot heats up. Feel free to test this on several of your cooking zones - the pots often work best on zones that match their size.
