Alessi Pulcina - Espresso maker 15 cl
The Pulcina espresso pot was born from the creative mind of architect Michele De Lucchi. Pulcina is the result of a long search: those involved wanted to find out how the shape of the espresso pot could be optimised in order to improve the organoleptic properties of espresso. Thanks to the special design of the inside of the pot, the Pulcina interrupts the flow of coffee at exactly the right moment. This avoids the volcanic phase - the final moment of extraction that leaves a burnt, bitter aftertaste. Only the coffee reaches the cup and its full-bodied, round flavour can be fully savoured. The spout is relatively pronounced. Its typical V-shape is reminiscent of a chick's beak (it. pulcino). It is so precisely designed that it enables drip-free pouring. Pulcina is practical, functional and does not require any special moulding.
