Kitchen: Sorrentina Stovetop Espresso Maker

April 1st, 2008

From Julie:

Last week, Dwell clued us in to the reissued Sorrentina espresso maker by Giordano Robbiati. The Milan designer created the iconic Atomic coffee maker in the late 1940s; it produces up to six espresso shots and steams and froths milk. Australian company Ikon Exports recently came out with a premium reproduction of Robbiati’s patented coffee machine, manufactured to the same dimensions and high standard. Made of polished alloy and Bakelite, it is $450 AU (approximately $413 US) at Sorrentina Coffee, which ships to the US.
