Pulcina Espresso Coffeemaker
Brand:
Alessi
Description:
Designed by Italian architect Michele De Lucchi, the Pulcina espresso coffeemaker combines a revolutionary design with technological innovation to cease the coffee’s pour before it develops a bitter aftertaste. Reminiscent of a chick’s beak and aptly named (pulcina is Italian for “chick”), the spout perfectly stops the pour at its last drip. Representing a fascinating blend of tradition and innovation in the world of coffee brewing, the Pulcina’s boiler shape optimizes heat flow and automatically stops the coffee extraction at the perfect moment. This innovation prevents the “volcanic phase” that often leads to a bitter aftertaste in traditional moka pots. Crafted from aluminum, thermoplastic resin, and silicone, the Pulcina merges traditional coffee-making methods with modern aesthetics and technology, representing the evolution of the iconic Italian moka pot into a modern luxury staple.
