The Alessi Vite Espresso Maker transforms the daily ritual of brewing coffee into a celebration of contemporary industrial design. Designed by Philippe Malouin, its sculptural silhouette is inspired by the form of a screw—vite in Italian—reflecting the simple twisting motion that lies at the heart of its operation. The contrast between the natural aluminum boiler and the cream-colored upper body creates a striking visual balance, while thoughtfully selected colors inspired by the machinery of the Alessi workshop give the piece a distinctive, modern character. Compatible with all cooktops, including induction, Vite delivers rich, full-bodied espresso while bringing refined Italian design to every cup. Crafted from aluminum casting with a thermoplastic resin handle and knob. Brown aluminum body with cream thermoplastic resin accents. Suitable for all cooktops, including induction. Hand wash only. Do not place in the dishwasher. Made in Italy. Available in brown, sage red and warm grey colors. Available in 5.1 oz. capacity and 10.1 oz. capacity.
