The espresso coffee maker Pulcina, designed by Michele de Lucchi, is the product of intense research. The focus was in the optimisation of the coffee pot shape in order to improve and enhance the organoleptic properties of coffee. Thanks to the internal shape of its boiler, Pulcina automatically stops filtering the coffee at the right moment. This interruption helps to eliminate the eruption phase, the final filtering stage, that generates a burnt and bitter aftertaste. Thus ensuring that only the finest qualities of the coffee are preserved, enhancing the full-bodied and rounded aroma of the coffee. The spout is quite pronounced. Its typical 'V' shape, reminiscent of a baby chick’s beak, is specially designed to perfectly cut drops when pouring. Practical and functional, making coffee with the Pulcina is just like making it with a traditional coffee pot.
