Rare and luxurious 4-cup "Archimede" espresso maker made by the Italian manufacturer Stella around the 1980s. Stella is known for its famous longtime slogan: "101% italiano". This Stella Collection product is a very innovative piece, especially with regard to design. The Archimede espresso maker is made from 18/10 stainless steel and set apart by its wavy design. It is also fitted with a whistle to tell you when the coffee is ready. Comfortable handle. The Archimede line also includes a sugar bowl, milk jug, coffee cups and a kettle. The unique valve is hidden between the boiler and the central body to preserve the external design. In terms of construction quality, I believe it is even better than Alessi. Note that the cap is also closed at the bottom, which I have never seen in any other coffee maker. The ball on the top is made from nickel-plated brass. The coffee maker is practically NOS, with no notable flaws. Ready to clean and use. I have tried filling it with water and putting it on the stove, and it worked perfectly. Measurements: 22 x 17.5 x 10.5 cm. Weight: 874 grams.
