Mendini, with a vision years in the making, took on the challenge of designing this Alessi "Moka" espresso maker for the high-end market in 2011.

With its rounded shapes and sinuous, tapering profile, Mendini's "Moka" espresso coffee maker is a true embodiment of originality and innovation. Its distinctive character is immediately recognizable, leaving a lasting impression in any setting. While embracing a modern aesthetic, Mendini remains faithful to the traditional details that define the essence of the original Moka Express, meticulously enhancing and refining each formal and technical element. Every aspect of the "Moka Alessi" has been meticulously crafted to deliver the ultimate coffee experience. The thickness of the material and the volumes of containers have been optimized to ensure optimal performance. Proportions have been recalculated, and a clever partition has been introduced to direct condensation back into the container, capturing every nuance of flavor. One cannot overlook the thoughtful design of the handle, positioned parallel to the side of the coffee maker, ensuring safe and comfortable use. Mendini's attention to detail extends even to the choice of material – the "Moka Alessi" is cast in brushed and tumbled aluminum. This not only guarantees durability but also imparts a distinct flavor to the espresso, thanks to the delicate film of coffee that gradually forms on the inner walls of the coffee maker.
