1. Alessi La Cupola
La Cupola Mokakanne by Alessi
As an architect, Aldo Rossi is always in search of the ultimate form: he reduces his buildings to geometric and ancient, very familiar basic shapes. He works in the same way as a designer: his famous espresso machine consists of cylinders, domes, and triangles that culminate in a small sphere. For Rossi, who drew very similar vessels as a child, this reflects the timeless archetype of the coffee pot – a timeless investment that also makes a very good espresso.
Aldo Rossi Designer - La Cupola Mokakanne
The basic principle of a moka pot is always the same: water boils in the lower part of the pot, then rises through a tube, is pressed through ground coffee, and exits at the top through a small riser tube.
2. Alessi Pulcina Espressokocher

The Pulcina coffee machine, designed by Michele De Lucchi, has a small but revolutionary innovation in the water tank, which further enriches the full-bodied coffee flavour. Dedicated to all those who do not want to give up the flavour and aroma of coffee from an espresso pot, but also want to experience this everyday ritual in a special way.

3. Alessi Moka
With the Moka espresso maker, architect and designer David Chipperfield has embraced a classic design: the moka coffee or espresso maker. The octagonal device was originally designed by Alfonso Bialetti in 1935 and marketed as an Italian design icon starting in 1945. David Chipperfield's Moka is a deliberate and subtle update of the classic Bialetti.
4. Alessi Pulcina Espressomaschine
A good day starts with the "Pulcina" espresso machine from Alessi. The architect Michele De Lucchi designed this espresso pot for lovers of Italian coffee. He created the shape for Alessi following research by the Illy company into the dynamics of heat flow.
The Pulcina espresso maker is capable of making a perfect espresso. By interrupting the flow of coffee in good time, the "volcanic" phase inside the boiler is avoided, allowing only a full-bodied, round flavour to rise to the top of the pot. Burnt or bitter espresso flavours are a thing of the past with the Pulcina.
After extensive research, the Pulcina espresso machine combines technology with Alessi's project experience. The design is derived from the ideal shape of the boiler determined by Illy. The name Pulcina is derived from the typical V-shaped spout, which is reminiscent of the beak of a chick, pulcino in Italian. It is designed so that not a drop is spilt when pouring.
Why does anyone want to know what happens when making espresso in an espresso pot? Because the aim of the study was to find the optimum shape of the espresso pot to improve the organoleptic properties of espresso and also to emphasise them more strongly. "Pulcina" is therefore the result of this research.
5. Alessi Espresso machine
The 9090 is the first espresso machine in the history of Alessi, as well as the first of countless Compasso d’Oro awards and the first Alessi project to be exhibited at the MOMA in New York. It is the Alessi coffee maker that people love for its ability to be carried directly to the table to serve espresso. “I wanted to give this espresso machine a look that others don’t have.” With these words, Richard Sapper described his idea behind the design of the 9090 espresso machine. It was meant to be not just a mundane coffee maker, but a true "steam machine," to quote the inventor. Made from 18/10 stainless steel, the 9090 is unique not only for its conical shape but also for several useful innovations, such as the larger base for better heat utilization, or the drip spout and cone closure, which allows the coffee maker to be opened with a simple hand movement.
6. Alessi Coffee pot
The Pulcina espresso machine, designed by Michele de Lucchi, is a revolutionary Moka that combines the technology of illycaffè with the expertise of Alessi. Cast from aluminum, Pulcina represents a small yet innovative and substantial project: its shape allows for the creation of the perfect espresso. The spout resembles the beak of a chick (Italian "pulcino") and is designed so precisely that it enables drip-free pouring.
7. Alessi Moka Espresso Mugs
Alessi Moka Black - Espresso Maker, 3 Cups

"The espresso maker has evolved into a utility item that is as unmistakable as a bottle opener, a pair of glasses, or scissors. It has developed its own identity and is universally applicable and familiar. In the kitchen and in the everyday rituals of life, it has found its rightful place." - David Chipperfield
David Chipperfield has anchored his innovations in subtle details, such as the flat design.
8. Alessi 9090/M
With her, Alessi won the first "Compasso d'Oro" (1979), which was to be followed by many more. It was the first Alessi object to be included in the Permanent Design Collection of the MOMA in New York. It is also the first multifunctional object because, although it is a kitchen appliance, its high-quality shape means it can also be seen directly on the coffee table.

10. Alessi La Conica
This coffee machine, designed between 1980 and 1983, emerged from the development of the "Tea&Coffee Piazza" operation, where prominent architects worked on a design for coffee and tea service. It was Rossi's first project for this large series. The espresso machine quickly became a bestseller for the then-young brand "Officina Alessi" thanks to its distinctive shape and became a symbol of 1980s design.
