Alessi Pulcina 3-Cup Stainless Steel Espresso Coffee Maker

Crafted in collaboration with illycaffè and designed by Michele de Lucchi, the Alessi Pulcina 3-Cup Espresso Maker combines Italian engineering with innovative brewing technology. Its signature “chick beak” spout automatically halts extraction at peak flavor intensity—preventing over-brewing that leads to bitterness—while delivering a rich 5 fl oz espresso shot perfect for solo enjoyment or shared moments.

Built to withstand daily use, this compact stovetop coffee maker features heavy-duty cast aluminum construction paired with a magnetic stainless steel base for induction stove compatibility alongside gas/electric/ceramic cooktops. The heat-resistant polyamide handle stays comfortably cool during operation while providing a secure grip when pouring.

Ideal for space-conscious kitchens measuring just 9.2 x 15.2 x 20 cm (3.6 x 6 x 7.9 inches), this versatile brewer excels at producing cafe-quality espresso at home—whether you prefer strong morning shots or leisurely afternoon sips over ceramic mugs or demitasses cups. Handwash recommended to maintain its polished aluminum finish and ensure years of reliable performance as your go-to morning coffee ritual companion.

Dimensions approximate; actual capacity yields three standard espresso servings.
