Designed for Alessi by Michael Anastassiades, the striking form of the "Menhir" Espresso Maker takes its shape from its name. Menhir - meaning "standing stones" - references the long stones emplaced in the ground by humans as far back as the Bronze Age and the form of the stainless steel "Menhir Espresso Maker" beautifully reflects this.

Capacity: 5.1 fl oz Height: 7.09" Length: 2.95" Width: 5.51" About Michael Anastassiades: Michael Anastassiades grew up in Cyprus, but moved to London to study engineering and design, and opened his studio there in 1994.
