Coffee is important. And, in Italy, coffee is very important, with the rituals of taking an espresso at the local bar or making a pot of stovetop espresso at home threaded into the fabric of daily life. The
9090 espresso maker from
Alessi is a bit of an icon – like, exhibited at MOMA in New York type icon – and it adds a decidedly handsome and distinctively retro appeal to the home coffee ritual. And, boy, does it make a good cup.
