Alessi Menhir cafetteria espresso

Alessi Menhir cafetteria espresso is a design object created by Michael Anastassiades for Alessi, reinterpreting the classic stovetop coffee maker through a sculptural, geometric form with swirling three-dimensional volumes. Its name draws inspiration from menhirs, the ancient vertical stones associated with ceremonies and rituals, whose monumental silhouette has been translated into an object devoted to one of the most universal daily rituals: brewing coffee. Crafted in 18/10 stainless steel with a burgundy thermoplastic resin handle, the coffee maker combines material durability with formal elegance in an iconic and instantly recognisable design.

The Menhir cafetteria espresso is designed for those who wish to turn the coffee ritual into both an aesthetic and sensory experience, making the kitchen a space where design expresses itself even through everyday objects. The magnetic steel boiler makes it compatible with induction hobs, extending its versatility. It is available in two sizes: the medium version, measuring 140 × 75 × 180 mm with a capacity of 15 cl for 3 cups, and the large version, measuring 150 × 86 × 215 mm with a capacity of 30 cl for 6 cups. An ideal piece to elevate the kitchen with a touch of authentic design, the Menhir also makes a refined gift for coffee and Italian design enthusiasts.
