A revolutionary and modern espresso machine that combines the coffee-perfecting technology developed by illycaffé and the design experience of Alessi.

Designed by the architectural visionary Michele de Lucchi, the Pulcina Espresso Coffee Maker encapsulates a small but substantial design innovation that stops dispensing the drink before the coffee gets bitter. This helps to enhance the full and rich aroma of your espresso. The spout, which recalls a chick's beak (hence the name "pulcina," which means "chick") allows it to perfectly stop the drop. Low-pressure pre-infusion gradually increases water pressure to gently expand grinds for an even extraction, balanced flavor and thick crema.

The Alessi Pulcina is an inventive evolution of the traditional coffee pot.
