This product is clearly marked made in Italy. Comparing this to the other Alessi at 235.00 this is actually as aesthetically pleasing, the functionality of the patented handle design is superb ( stays cool ), and having used it it works very well and is easy to open,close and clean. Spare gasket was included and they are much cheaper and readily available on line without the high delivery charge from Italy. And the COFFEE is tremendous.
We bought this pot about 15 years ago in Europe and really never used it much. Then we we moved to Florida and experienced hurricanes and no electricity. I used this pot on our gas grill the two weeks we were without power and when I tasted how much better the coffee tasted I continued to use it daily ever since. I want to buy a new one just to have as a back up because the thought of not having this pot makes me nervous. But I think it will outlast me. Only drawback is that it makes so little coffee. The cups are demitasse so you really get about 3 regular size cups.
