Alessi 6-Cup Espresso Coffee Maker in 18/10 Stainless Steel Mirror Polished with Magnetic Heat Diffusing Bottom, Silver

Q: How do you dry the water that accumulates in the crevice inside the coffeemaker's base so it does not rust?

I've had my unit for about 38 years now and have never had a rust problem. To clean it I disassemble the unit and wash it in the dishwasher and put it in the dish drainer to dry. About once a month I take the unit apart and clean the main tube and the tube in the basket with a small wire brush--an essential tool for cleaning the 9090. Every two months or so I run white vinegar through the assembled unit (without coffee grounds in it) until it all bubbles out the top and then run it 2 or 3 times with plain water to get the vinegar smell out. I bang the basket on something hard to get accumulated coffee grounds out of it--pretty much daily. Occasionally I clean the accessible surfaces inside with a scrubber and Ajax or some such. I change the gasket when it gets torn. Hope this is helpful. I've had the bottom rewelded once because of leakage through the seam. This is an extremely durable coffee maker--no moving parts.

Q: Is this still made in Italy?

Yes. This coffee pot is still made in Italy. I bought the small version of this in Milan 12 years ago.

Q: I just got mine (new?) from amazon, and it leaks steam from the joint. it also drips from the release valve when i pour. is this normal?

Those experiencing these leaks (which I have not)--are you filling the water in the base to just below the bottom edge of the brass valve inside, as per the instruction booklet? If you cover the pressure release valve in any way with water, it will leak.

Q: What is the handle made of?

the handle is resin fill in a steel frame. If you have a large burner it will heat up hot enough to brand you. Looks good though.
