The Alessi 9090/1 is designed to brew one cup of espresso, approximately 70 ml.
It is constructed from 18/10 stainless steel with a cast iron handle.
The 9090/1 is not induction compatible as it is made of stainless steel and does not have a magnetic base suitable for induction.
The gasket should be inspected periodically and replaced when it shows signs of wear or hardening, typically after several years of regular use.
It is recommended to hand wash the Alessi 9090/1 with warm water and mild soap to preserve its finish and longevity. Dishwasher use may cause damage or discoloration.
This is a stovetop Moka pot that uses steam pressure to brew coffee, resulting in a strong, concentrated brew. Electric espresso machines often use higher pressure and may offer more control over brewing variables.
The Compasso d'Oro is awarded for excellence in design. The 9090/1 was recognized for its innovative functional design, material quality, and aesthetic appeal, which made it a significant product in both kitchenware and design history.
Ensure coffee is ground finely and packed lightly. Check that the filter basket is full. Ensure the top chamber is screwed on tightly.
Remove the Moka pot from the heat as soon as coffee begins to flow. Reduce heat to a lower setting. Ensure water level is correct and coffee is not over-extracted.
Check that the filter basket is seated correctly and not overfilled. Ensure the top chamber is screwed on tightly. Inspect the gasket for damage and replace if worn.
Ensure the stovetop burner is not larger than the base of the Moka pot, preventing the flame or heat from reaching the handle. Use a pot holder for removal if necessary.
