Most CHP-170's I've seen say Made in Italy on the handle, this product image does not. Can anyone with a recent purchase confirm country of origin?

They do INDEED say Made in Italy on the handle! I can not prove otherwise that they are not. But I am thankful for other countries making quality products than the JUNK we are buying from China these days.

I can confirm that the one I Purchased says Made in Italy on the handle below the Model name CHP-170

I've bought five recently and they all say Italy on them, which is fine. These rival $20 cutters I've bought.

Hakko is a Japanese company but these say they are made in Italy.I had it confirmed by Hakko America which is their American distributor that these are NOT Hakko cutters.

I just received mine a day ago (10/11/2013) and have used it twice so far. The box has "made in Thailand" written on the bottom. So they are apparently no longer made in either Germany or China. The quality seems fine. I don't notice the dribbling mentioned by Mr. Stout, and I thought my previous Melitta coffee pot with a plastic filter cone was more inclined to dribble than this one.

It is made in Italy. Fine quality, have to use per specs. Not for the aggressive cook.

My instruction sheet included with the pans has "Made In Italy" on it. It seems various distributors are in the U.S.

It's made in Italy. I have been very pleased with it. If you fly with it be sure to put padding around it so that the metal poles aren't bent.

the Bialetti Venus is made in Italy. There is no indication of gauge and I suspect the base is slightly thicker than the pot body. Both are very sturdy without being excessively thick. This is not thin, light SS.

Mine was made in Romania. I dare to say that it is a good thing. Recently I had a chance to compare both made in Romania and made in Italy, the former is made of thicker metal, equipped with better gaskets, and have smoother machined tread (i.e. easier assembly/disassembly)

I'm sorry there is no idication of where they were made but I know this. The handles came mismarked. Wish I had not purchssed them.

I checked the kettle but could not find the country of manufacture - I no longer have the packaging which might list this info.

Not sure where it is manufactured. All I can say is I love it because it is well-made. It is sturdy, the handle is securely fastened, it has a pour lip, and it functions wonderfully.

On the bottom of mine, purchased a few years ago, there's a label that says "Made in Italy". It also says "21/2009", so I suppose it was made in 2009, which is about when I purchased mine.

I have looked all over and it does not indicate where it is made on the appliance. I do believe that when I was researching it I saw somewhere where Stefano Giovannoni - designer - makes his products in Italy. You might want to try going to this company makes their products in Italy. You might want to go to their website www.alessi.com or sac@alessi.com; it maybe indicated there. Good Luck

you mean google doesn't know?! I thought it was Italy but can't be certain. The bristles may come from boars in China (no, really - not kidding - that's how I remember it) this product is offered directly from the manufacturer on line so I believe that will say.

I'm don't know where it's made but I've had mine a few months now and I love mine. It is well made. I wanted one like the old ones for a long time and I'm glad I bought this one.

I don't know where it was made. I can't find any markings. I had a Sterilite, and the handles broke off.

It is an Italian company who still does most of their assembly in Italy. They do make parts for at least some of their things in china, but is still considered a made in Italy company which is why there is no "made in china" seal or marking on it. It is sealed at the bottom with: ETU listed for Canada and the US. There is a head quarters in the US De'Longhi America Inc. 2 Park Way & Route 17 S Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458http://www.delonghi.com/en-US/customer-service/Above is a website that can give you more information or you can contact them with further questions.

Rest assured, the maker is made in Italy (this is clearly written on the maker itself). I myself do not buy cheaply-made low-quality products 'made in China' (and contribute to slave-labor, I might add!).
