ALESSI - Moka Alessi coffee maker L

That rounded Mendini shape isn't just for looks, it actually pours without dripping all over my stovetop. The handle stays cool enough to grab barehanded, which I didn't expect from an aluminum pot. Makes a solid three cups for my morning routine.

The cast aluminum body feels substantial without being heavy, and it heats up fast on my gas stove. Coffee comes out rich and hot every morning, though you do have to watch the flame since the handle gets warm if you crank it. Easily the nicest thing on my countertop now.

The aluminum casting feels solid in my hand, and the ergonomic grip makes pouring a clean cup without any awkward tilting. Brews a rich, smooth espresso that fills the kitchen with that classic moka aroma—exactly what I wanted for weekend mornings.
