Designed by the architect David Chipperfield, "Moka" is a tribute to Italy's favourite espresso coffee maker and its inventor, Alfonso Bialetti, Alberto Alessi's maternal grandfather. Invented in the early 1900s, the first espresso coffee maker revolutionised the way coffee was made. With "Moka", Alessi offers an original interpretation of a timeless icon, created by Chipperfield with the aim of it becoming a popular, simple, familiar object just like the first espresso coffee maker invented at the beginning of the last century.

Following the amazing success of “Moka”, here is a version of the espresso coffee maker with a magnetic base, suitable for all heat sources, including induction hobs. Fitted with a double funnel filter, “Moka” can be used to prepare espresso coffee as well as standard filter coffee.
