Features of the Alessi Moka pot
This Moka pot by Alessi is a revisit of the classic Italian coffee maker. While the original octagonal version was inspired by futurism and art deco, the Italian coffee maker designed by Alessandro Mendini is characterised by its roundness and curved lines. The thickness of the material has been optimised, the volumes of the containers have been calculated to offer maximum ease of use, and the ergonomics of the knob have been designed to ensure a good grip. Its small size and aesthetic appeal bring the artistic philosophy and talent of its creator, Alessandro Mendini, to the fore.
Moka pot design by Alessandro Mendini
Alessandro Mendini (1931-2019) was a Milanese designer and architect who established himself as an advisor to some of the world's leading brands, including Philips, Swarovski, Swatch and Bisazza. A former director of Casabella, Modo and Domus, he has won a Compasso d'Oro and designed the Groninger Museum in Groningen, the Casino in Arosa and the Forum in Omegna.
The 6 cup Moka espresso maker is a revisit of the classic Italian coffee maker, created in 1933 by Alfonso Bialetti, Alberto Alessi's grandfather. Alessandro Mendini has paid a fine tribute to the history of the Italian coffee maker, and to Italy in general.
Alessi, founded in 1921 by Giovanni Alessi, has long been at the forefront of innovative and inspired product design and boasts a wide range of products, from the iconic whistle kettle to the designer fly swatter.
The company founded a dynasty not only with products for the general public - including service trays and cutlery for everyday use - but also by creating some of the most famous cult objects of our time.
The type of roast will affect the balance of flavours (bitterness, acidity, sweetness, etc.) and reveal the aromas of the terroir to a greater or lesser extent.
The more the coffee is roasted the more its colour will change (from light to dark). The darker the roast, the more the aromatic notes are lost in favour of the roasting notes.
All our coffees have been placed in a colorimeter by our experts in order to compare the roast intensity.
The aromatic groups describe the tasting notes of your cup (hazelnut, chocolate, peach, white flowers, etc.).
If you don't know what your coffee profile is yet, we advise you to start with the most appreciated aromatic groups: rich & sweet or woody.
Please Note: this is not a flavoured coffee but aromatic notes noticed upon tasting.
The dominant aromatic group represents the most perceptible notes and the secondary group, the more subtle notes present in the cup.
Traditional Coffees (classic and superior) are the most common in the various distribution channels.
Specialty Coffees (rated 80-100) are among the best coffees in the world and represent less than 10% of world production. These are flawless coffees that offer unique tasting notes from one terroir (or even plot) to another.
Attributed by “Q Graders”, a coffee's /100 score is determined by the quality of the beans and the result in the cup. It is advisable to progressively move towards coffees with higher scores.
