Alessi Inka Press Filter Coffee Maker or Infuser by Guido Venturini

Architect, designer, and explorer of the world of industrial design, Guido Venturini has become a recognizable figure in the world of design. His clever and accurate use of space management and internal architecture led him to the design of the famous Maddalena Loveburger project in Prato in cooperation with Stefano Giovannoni. His fresh, youthful ideas have played a large role in newer Alessi design concepts in the Family Follows Fiction series.


Designed in 2000, the Inka Press Filter Coffee Maker can also be used as an infuser. Guido Venturini was inspired by a method of making coffee which is now very common in northern Europe and America, and which was invented in Italy in the twenties - the manual pressure filter. Made of 18/10 stainless steel and polyamide with an inner heat resistant glass, “Inka” was designed for preparing coffee with a particular taste. The taste differs not only from espresso and percolator coffee, but also coffee made using the Melitta paper filter system and the Neapolitan coffee maker. Its main characteristic is that it allows you to obtain your desired dosage of coffee by adjusting the ratio of the amount of ground coffee to the amount of water, and therefore to make stronger or weaker coffee according to your taste.
