Pulcina - Espresso coffee maker. Induction. – Alessi USA Inc

July 07,2024

A revolutionary moka that combines the technology developed by illycaffè and the design experience of Alessi. Designed by Michele de Lucchi, Pulcina encapsulates a small but substantial design innovation that stops dispensing the drink at the right time before the coffee gets a bitter aftertaste. This helps to enhance the full and rich aroma of this drink. The spout, which recalls a chick's beak (hence the name of the coffee maker) allows it to perfectly stop the drop.

The 9090 was not only the first espresso coffee machine in our history but it was also the first Alessi object designed for the kitchen after the 30s. It also gained us our first Compasso d'Oro Award in 1979 and it is on display in the Permanent Design Collection at the MOMA in New York. The Espresso Coffee Maker was the first of our amphibious objects those that can be used in the kitchen but are attractive enough to be used directly at the table.

The espresso coffee maker Pulcina, designed by Michele de Lucchi is is the product of intense research into the optimization of the shape of the coffee pot in order to improve and enhance the organoleptic properties of coffee. Thanks to the internal shape of its special heater, Pulcina automatically stops filtering the coffee at the right moment.
