The stunning Alessi Pulcina Espresso Coffee Maker is a contemporary take on the traditional Italian espresso maker, fashioned from cast aluminum. This inventive Alessi design was created by Italian architect Michel de Lucchi, as a high-performance coffee maker with a mechanism that stops dispensing coffee before it gets a bitter aftertaste. A V-shaped spout dispenses coffee without spilling a drop, while heat-resistant plastic knob and handle in a choice of black and red complete the inspired composition of the Alessi Pulcina Coffee Maker.
