FAQs

What material is the Alessi Koki Ice Cream Scoop made from?

It is made from high-quality 18/10 stainless steel with a mirror-polished finish.

How do I clean the ice cream scoop?

The scoop is dishwasher safe. For best results and to maintain the finish, hand washing with warm, soapy water and drying with a soft cloth is recommended.

What are the dimensions of the scoop?

The dimensions are approximately 17.6 cm in length, 5.6 cm in width, and 3 cm in height.

Is the handle comfortable for everyone?

The handle is designed with an ergonomic, cushion-like shape for comfort and a secure grip. While generally comfortable, individual hand sizes and grips may vary.

Can this scoop be used for other frozen desserts?

Yes, it can be used for other frozen desserts like sorbet or gelato, provided they are not excessively hard.

What is the designer behind the Koki scoop?

The Koki scoop was created by Valerio Sommella for Alessi.

Does the mirror finish scratch easily?

The mirror finish is durable but can be scratched by abrasive materials. Care should be taken during washing and storage to avoid harsh contact.

Troubleshooting

Scoop feels sticky or difficult to slide through ice cream.

Ensure the ice cream has softened slightly at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping. For cleaning, wash with warm, soapy water.

Dulling of the mirror-polished finish.

Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials. Hand wash and dry immediately with a soft cloth to restore shine. For stubborn marks, a non-abrasive metal polish can be used sparingly.

Handle feels uncomfortable after prolonged use.

While designed for comfort, users may need a brief adjustment period to the ergonomic shape. Ensure you are holding the scoop lightly, allowing the design to support your grip.
