Kitchen: Sorrentina Stovetop Espresso Maker
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.

This is a stunning piece and I'm very happy to see a reissue of such a revolutionary design. In my opinion there are occasions when you want to use something like this and other times when you can't beat the convenience of a superautomatic espresso machine. Kudos to Sorrentina!
