9090 Espresso Coffee Maker Alessi

July 04,2024

Alessi has issued a new version of the iconic 9090 Coffee Maker that pays tribute to the genius of its creator Richard Sapper. Alessi's Espresso Coffee Maker 9090 has a special role in the company's history: it is their first espresso coffee maker and 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. To increase heat dispersion, the red perforated handle is a detail that is as functional as it is aesthetically expressive. Richard Sapper used the color red to emphasize his designs' mobile and intersecting elements, just like this particular handle which, in its movement, comprises an innovative closing system. Your morning espresso or coffee never looked so handsome or felt so good in the hand than with Alessi's Espresso Coffee Maker 9090!

The 9090 was not only the first espresso coffee machine in our history but it was also the first Alessi object designed for the kitchen after the 30s. It also gained us our first Compasso d'Oro Award in 1979 and it is on display in the Permanent Design Collection at the MOMA in New York. The Espresso Coffee Maker was the first of our amphibious objects those that can be used in the kitchen but are attractive enough to be used directly at the table.
