An absolute holy grail for vintage coffee ware collectors. This is a stunning, ultra-rare 2-cup stovetop moka pot from the 1980s, showcasing the pinnacle of Postmodern Italian kitchen design.

While 6-cup versions of similar models occasionally surface, this highly coveted 2-cup size is exceptionally hard to find.

Constructed from heavy-duty, high-quality 18/10 stainless steel with a brilliant mirror-shine finish, the design is perfectly balanced by its playful, space-age accents. It features an iridescent, vibrant electric blue lacquered handle and a matching spherical ball finial sitting atop a sleek, domed lid.
