9090 1-Cup Coffee Maker

The object

Alessi’s 9090 uses a lever closure instead of the familiar screw-together moka design. Richard Sapper’s design pairs an enlarged base with an anti-drip spout, making the opening and pouring details part of its appeal. This listing covers the one-cup configuration, with a stated capacity of 2.4 fl oz.

The body is 18/10 stainless steel, and the magnetic steel bottom is intended for induction cooking. For this small version, Alessi specifically advises checking that an induction hob can activate with a pot diameter of at least 90 mm. Larger versions exist, but their capacities and prices differ from the configuration listed here.
