I lust after this
I did lust after this as well as I remember a friend having one back in the day - always liked it, and our family has a few other Alessi things that are all quite nicely designed and very durable, which makes up for the price.
Also it's nice that the bottom is so wide, as this uses the stove more efficiently (thus cooking the coffee faster - which is a good thing both for the taste as well as for people struggling with being patient).All this being said it's just too much fucking money for a stovetop coffee maker.
Also that handle / lock mechanism does work but I just don't like it, I don't know, it's just annoying to use for me.I think the best stovetop coffee I had came out of standard Bialetti stainless ones ("Musa").

I lust after this, but haven't got up the gumption to spend the money on it, when I've been given a perfectly sound/useable stove top.
Still want it though.
