I researched many stovetop espresso makers before buying this one. Most stovetop espresso makers have black plastic handles. This one has a copper handle, and in fact an all-metal body. There are no plastic parts. That's why it's so expensive, but after using it for several weeks, I found it worth every penny. The problem with black plastic handles is that you have to heat over a very low flame, which means your coffee takes a long time to boil. If your flame is too high, or your stovetop's burner ring is too large for the size of your espresso maker, you risk melting the plastic handle. A lot of plastic handles claim to be heat resistant, but my prior one not only melted, it caught on fire. The trick with using this (and all small stovetop espresso makers) is to use a hotplate or electric ring rather than put it over a gas burner ring. If you only have a gas burner stove, buy a plug-in electric hotplate. This Alessi model works beautifully with a plug-in electric hotplate, and the coffee is ready in 5 minutes.

Product Description
The "9090" is a classic design by Richard Sapper for Alessi, first released in 1979. "9090" was the first "amphibious" Alessi design, meaning that it is suitable for the kitchen but attractive enough to be used directly at the table. It is part of the Permanent Design Collection at the MoMA and has won the Compasso d'Oro award. Available in four sizes. Mirror-polished finish. Delivered in packaging.
