ALESSI - Coffee maker with press filter

Finally a press filter that doesn't look like it belongs in a lab — the black handle is a nice contrast against the steel and actually stays cool while I'm plunging. It brews a clean cup without any grounds sneaking through, and it's sturdy enough to live on my counter full-time.

The stainless steel body feels properly solid, and the press filter sits snugly enough that no grounds sneak through. That black handle is comfortable to grip even when the pot’s full of hot coffee.

Woke up this morning and the black handle fits my palm perfectly, making the press filter easy to control even when my hands are half-asleep. The contemporary stainless steel body looks great on the counter and cleans up with just a quick wipe.
