Alessi Coffee Gift Set (Pulcina Coffee Maker With Two Espresso Cups & Saucers)

Objects for the preparation and service of coffee have long been a central theme in Alessi’s production. The company’s relevant contribution to stylistic and technological research in this field has created true icons. The Alessi & Coffee set offers the essential elements to prepare coffee the Italian way, combining Pulcina, an alluring induction-compatible espresso coffee maker, conceived by Michele De Lucchi, with a simple yet sophisticated pair of coffee cups with saucers, designed by Jasper Morrison.

Pulcina coffee maker, designed by Michele de Lucchi, is a revolutionary moka that combines the technology developed by illycaffè and the design experience of Alessi. Made of aluminium casting, Pulcina encapsulates a small but substantial design innovation: its shape that makes it possible to prepare a practically perfect coffee!

Pulcina comes from a research entirely dedicated to the design and functionality of the espresso coffee maker. As a result of this study and the application of the technology developed by illycaffè, Pulcina is a high performance coffee maker with a boiler 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 this drink. The spout has been designed with the same attention to functional aspects: when pouring coffee, its special V shape, which recalls a chick’s beak (hence the name of the coffee maker) allows it to perfectly stop the drop.
