Mendini's tribute to the Moka
The Moka was created out of the desire to pay homage to the classic moka designed in the 1930s, which has become a popular household item over the years. Alessandro Mendini accepted the challenge of re-interpreting this cult object in a contemporary way.
Moka Alessi has a formal character that can be immediately recognized, a round-shaped coffee pot that makes the vertical conicality of traditional moka sinuous. For everything else, Mendini respected the details of traditional moka. Aiming to improve on its technical aspects. An example is the increased thickness of aluminium and optimizing the capacity of the boiler. Moka Alessi contributes to the emergence of a new, intimate and homely ritual.
