The Ottavia is the stovetop pot our grandmothers used, made the way it was made then: one piece of cast aluminium for the boiler, a turned and polished upper half, and a thread between them you tighten by hand. Water goes in the bottom, ground coffee in the basket, and the hob does the rest.
Eight facets are not decoration. They give the pot something to be gripped by when it is hot, and they keep it from turning on a gas hob. The handle and the lid knob are moulded in a heat-resistant compound that stays cool enough to hold.
