Pulcina Italian espresso maker red metal / 6 cups -Induction - Alessi

Pulcina has been born out of a meeting of three Italian giants, namely the Italian coffee roasting company Illy, the master of design Michele De Lucchi and the producer Alessi. From the outside, Pulcina makes a strong impression by its round, cut-out form whereas the real precision work can be found inside. It took several years of research with Illy to develop the technology for obtaining the best coffee possible. The water tank in a spherical form and narrowed at the top has been developed so that there is a space where the air is put under pressure before the water starts boiling – for a more natural and intense taste of coffee. Both tanks have been built “in stairs” which are made of different materials of different thickness, adapted to warming and cooling phases of preparing coffee. Pulcina automatically stops filtering in the right moment, eliminating the last phase that normally causes a bitter and burned taste of coffee. The spout, inspired by the form of chicken's beak, has been invented to perfectly pour coffee without spilling a single drop. Enjoy!

In its new version, thanks to a magnetic steel bottom, Pulcina is compatible with the induction plates. And if the desire for a lighter coffee is felt, magic trick, this Pulcina comes with a filter specially designed to make an excellent American coffee!
