Alessi "Pulcina" 6 Cup Stovetop Espresso Coffee Maker - Double Black Edition You can share the coffee with friends, but the style is just for you. Alessi's 6 Cup "Pulcina" Espresso Maker is made to grace your stove top with gorgeous design for years to come. Founded in 1921 as a "Workshop for the processing of brass and nickel silver sheet metal, with foundry", Alessi has always stood out for the high quality of its products. In almost a century of history, the company has gradually evolved to become one of the leading "Factories of Italian design", capable of applying its expertise and excellence in design management to many different product types. Open to change and international development, Alessi at the same time has a strong bond with the traditions and cultural background of its area and continues to be synonymous with handcrafted objects produced with the help of machines. Alessi's mission is now one of translating its quest for the most advanced cultural, aesthetic, design and functional quality into mass production. Designer products are the result of the constant reconciliation of art and industry, of the "Immensity of Creative Potential" and the needs of the market. The company is committed to a design approach in which the most advanced expression of international creativity is always balanced against the desires of the general public. Alessi has been described as a "Dream Factory", which uses its products to make people's dreams come true, providing them with the Art and Poetry that they seek. Arising out of the partnership between Michele de Lucchi and two historic Italian companies, Alessi and illy, the 'Pulcina' moka coffee maker contains a small but revolutionary innovation. The stove top espresso coffee maker "Pulcina", designed by Michele de Lucchi is the product of intense research into the optimization of the shape of the coffee pot in order to improve and enhance the organoleptic properties of coffee. Thanks to the internal shape of its special heater, "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, ensuring that only the finest qualities of the coffee are preserved and enhancing its full-bodied and rounded aroma. 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. * Aluminum construction * Enjoy great coffee & great style * Measures: 4.25" x 10.25" * Not for use on induction stovetops * Designed by Michele de Lucchi
