Review on ☕ Alessi 9090/1: Premium 1 Cup Stove Top Espresso Maker in Mirror Polished 18/10 Stainless Steel by Alan Sitton

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The handle gets too HOT!

I agree with Sebastian. I wanted the "best" so I bought the 9090/1 as a Christmas present. The handle gets so hot you can't touch it when using it on a gas stove. For real? Yes, I use a small burner on a lower flame, but that doesn't matter. I am very disappointed in this product and for almost $200 the espresso is just average. Does anyone know of a good refractory material to wrap the handle? This is possibly one of the worst espresso makers out there.

Pros
  • Kitchen and dining room
Cons
  • I'm worried
