The Alessi 9090 makes a terrific cup of coffee, and looks equally terrific while waiting to prepare the next one. It did take a bit of time to be delivered as there's evidently no easy trip between Helsinki, Finland and Vienna, WV, USA. But it was extremely well-packaged and arrived in mint condition.
