Espresso coffee maker 9090

Alessi’s Espresso coffee maker 9090 has a special role in the company’s history:  it is not only their first espresso coffee maker but also the first object to win the prestigious Compasso d’Oro award and the first Alessi item in the permanent collection of MoMA in New York. The espresso coffee maker, designed by Richard Sapper, features a beautiful body made of stainless steel and brings timeless elegance to kitchen and table settings.

The Alessi Values Collection was launched to celebrate the centennial of the famous Italian design house. The sixth part of the collection is called Research Lab, which refers to the more experimental side of industrial design – Alessi is like a research center where designers can do their experiments. One of these experiments is a version of Sapper’s iconic espresso maker with an orange-red, perforated handle that facilitates heat dispersion. Sapper chose the striking colour to underline the functionality of the handle.
