I bought this to replace the one I bought used on eBay 15 years ago. I used it everyday at least once. It’s a quality product, heavy grade stainless steel with a copper piece on the bottom. Its capacity is 6 1 oz espresso shots. What I’m doing differently with this one is keeping the heat at the lowest possible level. This seems to be making it easier to keep the copper polished and will hopefully keep the lower half from blackening. I drink Illy Intenso, their boldest espresso roast and use a little less water b/c I like it very strong. By varying the roast and water that should accommodate anyone’s taste.
I’m keeping the old one in case I have guests.

From the manufacturer
La Conica
Alessi
Designer: Aldo Rossi
Espresso coffee maker La Conica
All the charm of contemporary architecture enters our homes with La Conica coffee maker. A timeless icon, La Conica has its body in stainless steel and its base in copper: a sophisticated object, characterised by essential geometric forms that give rise to a functional tool with which one can prepare and serve coffee.
The Designer
Aldo Rossi
Born in Milan (1931-1997), he is considered by many to be the greatest Italian architect of the second half of the 20th century. His life as an architect started with Gardella and Zanuso. An author of abstraction, reduction and brevitas, his severe language of primary shapes, geometrical patterns and silent evocation created some of the most intensely poetic works of architecture and design in his age.
The company
Founded in 1921 as a “Workshop for the processing of brass and nickel silver sheet metal, with foundry”, Alessi has always stood out for the high quality of its products.
In almost a century of history, the company has gradually evolved to become one of the leading “Factories of Italian design”, capable of applying its expertise and excellence in design management to many different product types.
Open to change and international development, Alessi at the same time has a strong bond with the traditions and cultural background of its area and continues to be synonymous with handcrafted objects produced with the help of machines.
Alessigraphy: the geography of Alessi production
Since the Company's foundation in 1921 the majority of Alessi products have been manufactured through the cold working of metals, a tradition that is kept alive today by the skilled workers at the Crusinallo plant in Omegna.
Over time, Alessi also began to work with many other materials, such as porcelain, glass, wood, and plastic... A specific production method was developed for each one. Even when production takes place outside the Crusinallo plant, Alessi’s guidelines guarantee the company’s original production quality standards, continuing to reconcile industrial technological complexity with an artisanal eye for detail.
The objects produced from the different materials are manufactured in various production plants across the world. They remain original Alessi objects in that they are conceived with the same design excellence and produced with the same attention to quality that sets the company’s products apart.
