The perfect espresso, every time. The Pulcina espresso maker by Alesso was designed by the architect Michele De Lucchi, dedicated to all espresso-enthusiasts out there. Despite the modern design, the Pulcina espresso maker is used like any traditional espresso maker. Simply screw the pieces apart, add coffee powder into the middle piece, water into the base and assemble. Place the espresso maker on the stove. A staple favorite, with a practical drip-free spout.
