"Pulcina" was born from the creative spirit of architect Michele De Lucchi and is an espresso pot for true coffee lovers. The revolutionary design combines a technology developed by illycaffè from research into the dynamics of heat flow with Alessi's project experience. "Pulcina" is the result of a long search: those involved wanted to find out how the shape of the espresso pot could be optimized to improve and enhance the organoleptic properties of espresso. And so they analyzed what goes on inside an espresso pot. As a result, Illy was able to determine the ideal shape of the boiler - the lower part of the pot in which the water boils - for perfect espresso. Thanks to the special design of the inside of the boiler, the Pulcina interrupts the flow of coffee at exactly the right moment. This avoids the volcanic phase - the final moment of extraction that leaves a burnt, bitter aftertaste. Only the best of the coffee reaches the cup and its full-bodied, round aroma can be fully enjoyed. The spout is relatively prominent. Its typical V-shape is reminiscent of a chick's beak (it. pulcino ). It is so precisely designed that it allows drip-free pouring. Pulcina is practical, functional and requires no special knowledge. The coffee is prepared in exactly the same way as in conventional espresso pots.
