Alessi Pulcina - Espresso maker suitable for induction, red The Pulcina espresso pot has sprung 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 to improve the organoleptic properties of espresso. Thanks to the special nature of the interior of the pot, the Pulcina interrupts the flow of coffee at exactly the right moment. This avoids the volcanic phase - that final moment of extraction that leaves a burnt, bitter aftertaste. Only the best of the coffee gets into the cup, and its full-bodied, round aroma can be savoured to the full. The spout is relatively pron…
