Alessi Espresso Machine Moka, large - Alessandro Mendini

The Moka is also evolving, from good to better. The rounded shapes that Mendini used for this espresso pot give it an original and innovative design. However, simply making the shapes rounder, as many have attempted before, would not have been enough to renew the Moka. No, it required a new, clear design signal that could replace the archetype of the Moka. Mendini found this signal in a form that adds curves to the well-known vertical conicity, creating a new, strong profile with high recognition value. The other traditional design details are preserved in the Moka Alessi; only the technical and formal details have been improved. Material thickness and the volume of the individual containers have been optimized, and the proportions of the kettle and collection container have been recalculated.
