Moka Espresso Coffee Maker by David Chipperfield for Alessi
Moka Espresso Coffee Maker by David Chipperfield for Alessi
A soon-to-be-classic aluminum stovetop espresso (Moka) maker.
According to the designer/architect:
"The Moka coffee pot has established itself as a generic object, like a bottle opener, a pair of spectacles, an item of the everyday, its identity both familiar and generic. It has assumed a place not only in the kitchen but in the daily ritual of life."

3 Cup (5 1/4 oz.): 6.25" x 3.5"- 5.25" Height (inch)
