At least for the one I own, it is in Europe somewhere I suspect it is being made in Italy or France I bought it in Germany years ago, while I lived
My cup had to be returned because it was so small, the 2 cup is pretty small. The quality is very good.
The coffee maker is made of stainless steel and made in Germany, but has an Italian design.
Selected User Reviews For Cilio 342239 Aida 2 Cup Espresso Maker
A majority of espresso makers come with an aluminum interior which is not to my liking. That's exactly what I was looking for!.
There has been no corrosion in it for at least five years. The aluminum coffee filters I used before this gave the coffee a distinct flavor, but I didn't think that a daily dose of aluminum would be good for my health. There's no better time than now to pick up this Cilio stainless steel one!.
The size is tiny and is best for a single shot to two shots max. The size is perfect for one person or two people. The same brand will be purchased for 6 people when I have company over. Easy to use and well constructed.
It takes me about 5 minutes to prepare a cup of espresso with a different kind and size of pot. The rest of them are good, but this one by far is the most solid, well made of them! There is no doubt that it is worth the higher price since it is like something made 50 years ago before the appearance of junk made by ORC. My only complaint is that the handle is made of metal and gets quite hot when hot coffee is being poured into it. It is necessary to pick it up with a napkin or oven. Alternatively, you can choose a wood or plastic brand. I suppose having a metal handle is a good thing since it won't break off or melt like This is both a plus and a minus. I have always believed that an espresso pot is the best one can acquire! I would definitely buy from them.
