The Alessi Slow Coffee product series encourages you to savour not only the cup of coffee itself but also the moment of making it. Grinding the coffee beans, carefully pouring water over the grounds, and witnessing the coffee slowly drip into the pot, even the most mundane morning coffee transforms into a calming sensorial ritual.
According to designer Keiji Takeuchi, 'drinking a coffee' is very different from 'having a coffee,' the latter being a more all-encompassing experience. Preparing the drink offers a moment for reflection and awakening the senses: imagine the aroma of the coffee beans, the "drip, drip, drip" as the coffee flows into the pot, and the delicious first sip of coffee you've prepared from the very beginning.
This set includes a glass coffee pot, a porcelain filter holder, and a stainless steel permanent filter – no separate paper filters are needed. The pot holds 7 decilitres, i.e. coffee for two.
