Pulcina espresso coffee maker in cast aluminum with red PA handle and knob, magnetic steel bottom suitable for induction cooking. This moka stops the coffee flow before it acquires a bitter aftertaste. The spout, which recalls the shape of a chick's beak, allows you to perfectly cut the drop. Article designed by Michele de Lucchi for Alessi.
The Pulcina coffee maker, designed by Michele de Lucchi, is a revolutionary moka that combines the technology developed by illycaffè and Alessi's design experience. Illy has identified the ideal shape that the water boiling chamber should have to prepare a perfect coffee. Thanks to the internal shape of its special boiler, Pulcina automatically stops dispensing coffee at the right time. This interruption eliminates the Strombolian phase - the final extraction phase that generates a burnt and bitter aftertaste - and allows you to obtain only the best of the coffee, enhancing its full-bodied and round aroma. The spout is well pronounced and its typical V shape, reminiscent of that of a chick's beak, is defined so as to perfectly cut the drop during pouring. Practical and functional, Pulcina does not require any particular precautions to prepare coffee compared to a traditional moka.
