About
A postmodern kettle for people who care about ritual as much as they care about coffee. The Alessi 9093 takes the most basic kitchen task, boiling water, and turns it into a small daily event.
Michael Graves’ signature mix of soft geometry and playful character shows up everywhere here, from the almost architectural silhouette of the stainless steel body to the light blue handle and that iconic bird-shaped whistle that literally sings when the water hits boiling point. It feels more like a piece of designer homeware than a typical stovetop kettle.
On an induction cooktop it holds its own as a piece of industrial design, with a magnetic steel bottom and a wide, stable base that heats evenly. The polished 18/10 stainless steel has that mirror-like finish you expect from premium kitchen accessories, and the proportions are spot on, so it sits comfortably on the counter even when not in use.
If you are into modern kitchen decor, collectible kettles, or just want your tea and coffee setup to feel intentional, the 9093 slots in as a functional design object that quietly flexes every time the bird starts to sing.
