Description
A broad circular base and straight-sided upper chamber give the Alfra stovetop espresso maker its distinctive profile. The angular handle contrasts with the cylindrical body, while a flat hinged lid and small pouring spout complete the shape. Brushed steel keeps the finish consistent across these different parts, with fine surface lines visible up close.
Alfra is designed by the in-house Technical Department of Alessi, the Italian housewares company founded in 1921. Made in Italy from 18/10 stainless steel, it puts the company’s metalworking experience into a compact coffee maker that can come to the table on a trivet for serving.
The three-cup size suits a morning coffee or a few small after-dinner servings. Its stated capacity is 5.1 fl oz, or 150 ml: “three cups” refers to espresso-size portions, not three full-size coffee mugs.
