Product Description

The stove top espresso coffee maker "Pulcina", designed by Michele de Lucchi 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. 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. Its typical 'V' shape, reminiscent of a baby chick's beak, 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.

Love the Deco style of this Alessi espresso maker! The 6 cup espresso pot makes 1 pretty large cup of regular brew. I ditched my electric drip pot after this purchase because the brew from this pot is superior. It's not recommended for the dishwasher, but it's easy to clean. And it looks great on my stove!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Mocha Pot Ever
Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2023
Alessi describes the Pulcina as "revolutionary" and promises a "substantial design innovation" to improve the taste of the coffee. Shockingly, they actually deliver on their promise and then some. The coffee tastes better than with any pot I've used. Also, although tank holds slightly less water, unlike every other mocha pot I've used, every drop is used. This actually makes slightly more coffee than the 6 cup Bialetti coffee makers I've tried. And, again, the flavor is tremendous. I know this isn't technically espresso but the flavor is as close as you can get without a big expensive machine.
Also, it's drop-dead gorgeous!
A genuine triumph!

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic staple
Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2017
Best purchase yet! A classic Italian design and a staple to any coffee drinkers kitchen.

Just be cautious and let every part air dry as to prevent mold or rust build up. Do not use soap when cleaning it otherwise soap residue will get trapped in the filter and it takes a while with several thorough rinses to get it out.

Also, keep in mind this coffee maker does not make any loud distiguibale sound when ready. So when in another room you may not hear any indicator and only when in close proximity will you hear the coffee gurgle and rise up when done.

The price point is perfect. These are meant to last you a very long time. The first one I owned lasted 10 years until I left the stove on with the coffee grounds still inside. Completely ruined after that and I had to throw it away. Just don't make the same mistake I did!
