very good quality, I liked it a lot.

The espresso maker is very attractive. It is of heavy cast aluminum (not so much heavy in weight, as aluminum is light, but solidly made) and it brews very good coffee. Of course you will never get the syrupy espresso with the crema layer on top from a stove-top espresso maker (for that you need one of those enormous high-powered espresso machines, and certainly not a Nespresso machine, which in my opinion produces coffee-flavored foam), but what the Ossidiana brews is perfectly serviceable.

Alessi always delivers on quality and this coffee maker is no exception, very pleased.

Works like a Dream.
