Alessi
La Cupola induction espresso coffee maker
Designed by Italian architect Aldo Rossi in 1988, Alessi’s La Cupola espresso coffee maker brings a sculptural elegance to both kitchens and coffee tables. The iconic silhouette is formed by the harmonious fusion of three classic geometric shapes – the sphere, the cylinder and the dome. Made from aluminum, the characterful espresso maker brews up to three cups at a time and is also suitable for induction cooking. Its magnetic steel bottom ensures compatibility with induction hobs, making it a versatile addition to any kitchen.
