Richard Sapper 9090 Manico Forato | Alessi 2021
The espresso maker 9090 is the first one produced by the Italian brand Alessi since 1979 till now. The whole body has been formed from flat 18/10 steel sheets. The base of the boiler is enlarged to optimize the heat exchange with the flame. On the occasion of Alessi’s centennial, the 9090 coffee maker has holes in the handle to optimize heat dissipation. Furthermore, the red colored handle is a sign of the designer Richard Sapper that wanted to enhance the qualities of moving mechanisms.
