A revolutionary and modern espresso machine that combines the coffee technology developed by illycaffe and the design experience of Alessi. Designed by architectural visionary Michele De Lucchi, the pulcina espresso coffee maker encapsulates a small but substantial design innovation that stops dispensing the drink at the right time before the coffee gets a bitter aftertaste. This helps to enhance the full and rich aroma of your espresso. The spout, which recalls a chick's beak hence the name of the coffee maker - "Pulcina" is equal to "Chick" allows it to perfectly stop the drop. The Alessi Pulcina is an inventive evolution of the traditional coffee pot. Available with black or red handles.
