With the espresso maker Coffee.it Wiel Arets enqueues himself in the series of important artists with which Alessi has cooperated and co-developed the history of this household device.

Coffee.it is easy and simple in colours and forms, but still possesses, or just therefore a fascinating aura full of stillness and elegance. Not for nothing this espresso machine appears in the sophisticated Officina collection from Alessi that is famous for the most demanding, through thought, experimental and innovative Alessi products.

Coffee.it is not only an impressive piece of design, but it also offers an insight in the artwork from the exceptional architect Wiel Arets: it doesn’t follow trends or can be assigned to a determinate category. Arets is a master in the usage of materials, whether in their most originality or in surprisingly fine forms. The heart of his architecture lies in the thickness and intensity of the special aura of weightlessness and resistance that characterize his works.

The Coffee.it Espresso machine is also available with a 30cl capacity and in an electric edition on demand.
