The Pulcina coffee maker, designed by Michele de Lucchi, is a revolutionary moka that combines the technology developed by illycaff and Alessi’s design experience.
Illy has identified the ideal shape that the water boiling chamber should have to prepare a perfect coffee. Thanks to the internal shape of its special boiler, Pulcina automatically stops dispensing coffee at the right moment. This interruption eliminates the strombolian phase – the final filtering stage that creates a burnt and bitter aftertaste – and allows to obtain only the best coffee, enhancing its full-bodied and rich aroma.
The spout is well pronounced and its typical V-shape, which recalls that of a chick’s beak, is defined in such a way as to perfectly stop the drop during the pouring. Practical and functional, Pulcina does not require any special precautions to prepare coffee compared to a traditional moka. Height 16.5cm
