Our take on the Alessi Pulcina Espresso Coffee Maker

The Alessi Pulcina is a stovetop moka pot designed by Michele De Lucchi with illy, built around a stepped internal boiler that stops the brew at the right moment to keep the coffee from turning bitter. It holds 6 cups and is cast in aluminum with a faceted body and a curved handle. It suits people who want a design piece on the hob and a short, strong cup without an electric machine. Against plain moka pots it costs more for the same job, but the shape and the brew control are the point.

Questions and answers

How does the Pulcina differ from a classic moka pot?
Its boiler has a stepped shape that is meant to cut the flow of water early, so the coffee stops extracting before the bitter tail. The body is also more sculpted than a standard octagonal pot.
Does it work on an induction hob?
No. The aluminum body is not induction compatible. Use gas, electric coil or a radiant ring.
How many cups does it make?
It is rated at 6 cups in moka terms, which means small espresso-style cups, not 6 mugs.
Can it go in the dishwasher?
No. Hand wash it and dry it promptly; dishwasher detergent dulls and darkens aluminum.
What grind should I use?
A fine moka grind, slightly coarser than espresso. Too fine a grind chokes the pot and pushes the brew bitter.
Is a warranty included?
No written warranty is stated for this item.
