Say hello to this masterpiece of industrial design. 'I wanted to give this espresso machine a look that the others didn't.' These are the words designer Richard Sapper used to describe his design. No banal coffee machine, but a true steam engine it was to become.
And indeed, a coffee maker was created that can do much more than just brew a perfect espresso. It can also serve it properly, even directly at the table with guests. With a flick of the wrist from the stove to the table - a principle that still works and is appreciated in everyday life today.
Made of stainless steel and given a characteristic cone shape: a hero in my kitchen. And if that doesn't convince you yet, maybe the countless 'Compasso d'Oro' and the fact that the espresso pot by 'Alessi' has landed a place in the famous MOMA in New York will.
