Alessi Pulcina Coffee Maker

Designed by architect Michele De Lucchi for Alessi, the 'Pulcina' is the Espresso coffee maker perfect for coffee lovers. A revolutionary product that combines the technology developed by illycaffè with Alessi’s unique aesthetics.

A lot of intensive research was carried out by Alessi, into the optimisation of the shape of the Coffee pot in order to improve and enhance the organoleptic properties of coffee. Illy has identified the ideal shape that the water boiler should take to produce the perfect coffee. Thanks to the internal shape of its special heater, Pulcina automatically stops filtering the coffee at the right moment. This interruption helps to eliminate the eruption phase, the final filtering stage that generates a burnt and bitter aftertaste, ensuring that only the finest qualities of the coffee are preserved and enhancing its full-bodied and rounded aroma.

The spout is quite pronounced and features the typical 'V' shape, reminiscent of a baby chick’s beak, which is specially designed to perfectly cut drops when pouring. Practical and functional, making coffee with the Pulcina is just like making it with a traditional coffee pot.
