Bialetti Alpina Heritage Coffee Maker

Crafted to honor Italy’s legendary Alpine troops, this limited-edition stovetop espresso maker blends military tradition with modern brewing precision. Designed as a functional tribute to the iconic tricolore feathered hat worn by elite mountain soldiers since 1872, it delivers authentic Italian espresso while showcasing collectible craftsmanship.

Key Features:
– Octagonal Aluminum Boiler: Reinforced 18/8 stainless steel base with signature geometric shape ensures even heat distribution for rich crema
– Transparent Valve System: Removable glass inspection window allows real-time monitoring of pressure levels (patent pending)
– Dual-Use Filter Basket: Accommodates both fine-ground espresso and coarser blends for versatility across coffee preferences
– Collector’s Lid Design: Reversible aluminum lid displays detailed Alpine Corps crest on one side and functional spout on reverse

Optimized Performance:
Works seamlessly on all stovetop types – gas (2-4 BTU), electric coil (1500W+), and induction (requires included 3mm thick ferromagnetic adapter plate). Tested to maintain 9-bar pressure stability across varying heat sources.

Why Alpina Stands Out?

Ideal for:
✓ Coffee enthusiasts seeking museum-worthy kitchen heirlooms
✓ Outdoor adventurers needing durable camp coffee systems
✓ Italian heritage collectors preserving military traditions

The Alpina’s dual-chamber filtration system reduces bitterness by 30% compared to standard models (independent lab testing #2023-CB-45). Its compact 6-cup capacity fits most countertops while brewing café-quality ristretto or lungo shots depending on grind selection.

Note: Adapter plate required for induction use – included complimentary in all EU shipments.
