Alessi Pulcina Espresso Maker

The Alessi Pulcina Espresso Maker is a three-cup stovetop moka designed by Michele De Lucchi with brewing input from illy. Its stepped cast aluminium body stops extraction before bitterness sets in, the V-shaped spout cuts drips and the black handle and knob stay cool. It works on gas and electric hobs but not induction, suiting design-minded coffee drinkers.
