Why we love it

Michele de Lucchi's design for this stovetop espresso maker is a clever refinement of the classic moka pot, with a specially engineered spout that halts the coffee flow at the ideal moment to preserve flavour and prevent over-extraction. It sits naturally on your kitchen hob alongside your everyday cookware, delivering proper espresso without fuss or bitterness.

Description

A modern evolution of the classic stovetop espresso maker, the Pulcina pairs thoughtful design with quietly clever engineering. Designed by architectural visionary Michele de Lucchi, its form is designed to stop the coffee flow at precisely the right moment, preventing bitterness and allowing the full, rich aroma of the espresso to develop.
