Coffee makers and kettles
The Moka Alessi Caffettiera Espresso 1-cup with red handle and knob is the entry point of the range: compact, designed for individual use. For tea and herbal infusions, the 1-litre Kettle with bird in stainless steel signals boiling with a whistle. For larger volumes there is the 200 cl Kettle (22 cm diameter) with handle and purple PA whistle — suitable for large families or those preparing hot beverages in the office.

Alessi offers four gift boxes ready to use, with no need for further wrapping. The Alessi & Coffee Set includes coffee maker, two cups with saucers and gift box. The Alessi & Tea Set pairs a mug and teaspoon. The Alessi & Cheese Set contains cutting board, knife and port. The Wine Gift Anna is a complete sommelier set in packaging. They are the most direct choice for weddings, house warmings, graduations and birthdays — and also work as wedding or graduation favours thanks to the packaging already included.
Fruit bowls and table containers
The 21 cm Cactus Fruit Bowl in black resin has an original shape and works well as a decorative piece on the kitchen counter even when empty. The 23 cm Girotondo Fruit Holder in perforated steel and the 20.5 cm Girotondo perforated basket share the motif of repeated people silhouettes, typical of the line. The 22 cm steel Citrus Holder completes the range of table containers. All three Girotondo articles function as a stable centrepiece, even during the Christmas weeks and festive meals.
Pots & Pans frying pans
The Pots & Pans line includes frying pans with black handles in sizes 16, 20, 24, 28 and 32 cm in diameter, plus a high 28 cm frying pan and a 29×29 cm square grill pan with ridged surface. The range covers both quick cooking in a small pan (eggs, sauces) and preparations for several people. They are among the most sought-after references online in December, when the kitchen gift is one of the most popular choices.
Bar and kitchen accessories
For the home bar: the Cocktail Jigger Measuring Cup in steel with 4 measures and the corkscrew Alessandro M. in light blue resin with its anthropomorphic shape. For the table: theErcolino Bottle Opener in steel and birch wood and theDiabolix Bottle Opener in thermoplastic resin, available in red and anthracite. The Juicy Salif Citrus Squeezer in polished aluminium casting 14 cm is among the most recognisable accessories of the range. The offer is completed by the Polished steel serving dishes (30×24 cm and 29×36 cm) and the Asta Cutlery Set 24 pieces in steel.
