An essential accessory for lovers of design and coffee... Alessi and designer Michele de Lucchi revisit the Barista capsule coffee maker. This version is adorned with the pretty pleats characteristic of the Plissé collection. Festive and cheerful, the Plissé collection of small appliances draws its inspiration from the fashion world of the 50s and 60s, when skirts were pleated to give the fabric a floating, airy effect. According to Michele De Lucchi, who designed the Plissé collection for Alessi, "A form without pleats is only a volume without form".

This versatile machine effortlessly prepares a wide range of professional-quality espresso-based beverages right in your own home. Whether you want to prepare two espressos simultaneously, a double espresso or just a single espresso, this machine delivers exceptional results.

The L'OR Barista system lets you prepare two cups of espresso or a double espresso in a single cup, thanks to the exclusive L'OR Barista double capsules (XXL). Enjoy a ristretto for two or a double espresso on its own.

Customize your coffee volumes from 20 ml to 270 ml. Easily modify the length of your beverage to suit your tastes and enjoy your perfect cup of coffee.

Equipped with advanced capsule recognition technology, the machine automatically adjusts the volume of water according to capsule size, guaranteeing a perfect brew every time.

With a pressure of 19 bar, it produces barista-quality beverages in seconds.

This coffee machine works with all L'OR capsules, Nespresso® Original capsules and most other compatible capsules.

ABOUT ALESSI

For over a century, Alessi has been creating extraordinary objects that make people dream, feel, think and experience poetry in their daily lives. By collaborating with the best creative minds from around the world, Alessi brings the most unexpected and contemporary expressions of design culture into people’s homes.

The Italian company was founded in 1921 by Giovanni Alessi and initially concentrated on metal kitchenware. His products and designs of coffee pots became so popular, that by 1924 the brand name ‘Alessi’ was well established.

By the 1950s the company broadened its approach, deciding to collaborate with well-known designers. The aim was to break away from modernism and even traditional designs and to try more unconventional design ideas, including those from groups such as Studio Alchima (Alessandro Mendini) and Memphis (Ettore Sottsass). Other designers associated with Alessi include Aldo Rossi, Philippe Starck and Michael Graves. The collaborative and creative approach they use has become the hallmark of the Alessi brand.

Alessi is now a B Corp, a company which strives to maximise the positive impact they have on their employees, the communities in which they operate and the environment, by using the business as a force for regeneration and sustainability.
