## Description

Alessi A9095/3 B la cupola, espresso Coffee maker in aluminum casting. Handle and knob in PA, Black. Designer: Aldo rossi.

Review: Superb design and construction - Like the original Bialetti Moka Express these pots are modified percolators that build up a little pressure in the sealed lower chamber so that the coffee doesn't boil before migrating to the upper chamber for serving. The brew, a cross between espresso and regular coffee, is called mocha java or "moka" and is served practically everywhere in Italy. This particular pot is designed by Aldo Rossi for Alessi and is the largest of the 3 sizes available. Rossi also designed the $300 Alessi La Conica which is made of stainless steel with a copper bottom. This model is a similar design but constructed of thick, highly polished cast aluminum with an elegant and substantial handle. It's finely finished to the standard that you'd expect from an Alessi product and, after a couple initial throw away pots, makes an excellent brew. I buy Lavazza beans and use the same blend I use for espresso, but ground medium which produces a rich cup. You don't want to use an espresso grind as it's too fine and will silt your coffee. If you take cream or frothed milk you might want to use a darker roast that holds up to the dilution. illy makes a pre-ground "moka" blend that's reliably pretty good, though rather pricey. This is a premium product and the only downside is that it's a little unwieldy to wash. It should never be put in the dishwasher as the chemicals in the soap can oxidize the bare aluminum and turn it grayish black. A simple sponge and rinse in hot water is all that's needed along with a through towel drying before putting the top, bottom and funnel back together. Let it cool completely before disassembly and always clean the grounds from the funnel filter with a spoon as the compressed puck creates a vacuum seal in the lower chamber making funnel removal near impossible until the seal is broken. Finally, don't bang the funnel on a knock box or trash can like you might with a porto-filter because you'll put it out of round with the first whack, necessitating a replacement. While expensive for it's 6 demitasse capacity, I doubt you'll ever regret your purchase.
Review: Great pot! - I love this little pot. I bought this size because I wanted to cut down on my daily cappuccinos. It looks great on the stove. This pot is far superior than the Bialetti I've been using, which blackens easily and doesn't look that great on the stove unless you're looking for a grunge look. lol The coffee tastes great, the crema is nice and frothy. The only down for me is it is very difficult to open. I try to remember not to tightened too hard when making a pot. If anyone has a recommendation for making it easy to open for cleaning, please, I'd love know.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have seen this pot in black ... script says, "mug, black" ... is this that black la cupola pot? thanks for the help**
A: There is no black Alessi cupola pot. The 'black' refers to handle and top knob. . I prefer this pot to the Moka pot. I've had then all in both stainless and aluminum. They're both fine , quite substantial and make better coffee .  Hope this helps. Didn't understand the 'mug'  reference.

**Q: Does it work on an induction cooktop?**
A: No, it is solid aluminum and will not work on induction without an adaptor. I tried. Had to return it.

**Q: Does this go on the stove or electric?**
A: I have an electric stove, just fine. Works on gas stove too. It is a beautiful design makes a great cup of espresso, But WARNING...never ever put it in the dishwasher! Wash by hand, air dry, be sure it is completely dry before reassembling to store.

**Q: I cannot find the replacement rubber gasket for the 1 cup, not even on the Alessi website! Does anyone know of a source?**
