This Moka Alessi Espresso coffee maker comes in aluminium casting which is an excellent heat conductor. The handle and knob in thermoplastic resin, black. Capacity for 3 cups. This project is a tribute to Alfonso Bialetti who, in the 30s of the 20th century, was the inventor, designer and first manufacturer of the Moka Express, the popular Italian espresso coffee maker.

It formalized a new.

This is part of the "A di Alessi" collection that presents what is referred to as democratic design at an affordable price.
