1. Revolutionary Technology
The Alessi MDL02/6 R Pulcina Coffee Maker features a revolutionary technology developed by illycaffè. It has a specially designed
boiler that stops dispensing the espresso at the right time before it becomes bitter. This ensures a delightful taste

2. Groundbreaking Design
The coffee maker was designed by world-renowned architect Michele De Lucchi, who prioritized beauty, function, and taste.
The low-pressure pre-infusion gradually increases water pressure to gently expand the grinds, resulting in an even extraction,
balanced flavor, and thick crema. The Pulcina’s design is not only visually stunning but also enhances the overall coffee
brewing experience.

The collaboration between Alessi, Michele De Lucchi, and illycaffè has produced the finest and most revolutionary mocha coffee
maker. The Pulcina Coffee Maker is made with premium quality cast aluminum and features an anti-drip design with a ‘V’
shaped spout that perfectly cuts the drops of coffee. This attention to detail guarantees a mess-free brewing experience.

Very pleased

The coffee is better than with any generic moka pot that I have used before. I distribute the coffee in the filter with the WDT tool, I think that helps the extraction.
K. Martinez –
The Alessi is a definite improvement over the standard Moka pot in a few ways. First of all, and most importantly, it makes better coffee. I had read this in reviews but had some admitted skepticism until I tried it. It produces a rich, full-bodied demitasse strength cup with none of the burnt notes I would always get with my old Moka. Also unlike the Moka, it consistently uses all of the water in the base, whereas the Moka pot would start to sputter and gurgle after using only half the water. The thick plate on the bottom of the pot seems to do a good job of dispersing the heat evenly, even on an electric stove.
Second, the build quality is impressive. I have had several Moka pots of various sizes over the years and they felt, for lack of a better word, cheap. The aluminum felt flimsy and the pieces fit together in a haphazard sort of way. The Alessi, by contrast, seems to be engineered and manufactured to much tighter specifications. The aluminum feels heavier and the parts fit together snugly. The lid on the upper part opens and closes smoothly without being loose or rattling around.
Third, but partly an extension of the point above, the Alessi is beautiful. Both the aesthetic and functional design elements are outstanding. It looks great on the shelf, its crisp, smooth lines (presumably from CNC machining) when viewed up-close become sweeping curves when viewed from a few feet away.
The only real downside to the design is the handle. It is a bit small and awkwardly shaped, making it difficult to pour without your fingers bumping the hot metal. I usually grab it with a towel or oven mitt if I am pouring right off the stove.
Also, in case anyone is not acquainted with Moka-style coffee makers, this device does not make espresso. Coffee from the Alessi is never going to taste like a shot of espresso from your favorite coffee shop. That said, it does produce a stronger brew with more body than a drip-style coffee maker, and it is appropriate for a demitasse serving. It is called a 3-cup maker, but I get just a bit over two espresso cups’ worth of coffee per brew.
Overall, if you are like me and had given up on Moka-style coffee, you might consider giving this one a try. It is a big improvement over the Moka, and will look great on the shelf even when you aren’t using it.

Works exactly as it should. Very easy to use and the coffee is good. The complaints about discoloration and handle falling off must be from misuse and not following the simple instructions. It’s quieter than my Bialetti so pay attention and be careful not to let it burn.
Ash –
Alessi describes the Pulcina as “revolutionary” and promises a “substantial design innovation” to improve the taste of the coffee. Shockingly, they actually deliver on their promise and then some. The coffee tastes better than with any pot I’ve used. Also, although tank holds slightly less water, unlike every other mocha pot I’ve used, every drop is used. This actually makes slightly more coffee than the 6 cup Bialetti coffee makers I’ve tried. And, again, the flavor is tremendous. I know this isn’t technically espresso but the flavor is as close as you can get without a big expensive machine.
Also, it’s drop-dead gorgeous!
A genuine triumph!

Fantastic coffee pot that I use several times a day to make delicious espressos or add extra water for a long black. A tad more expensive than the regular pots, but far more elegant.
One for the coffee loving aesthetes. ❤️

( my 1st review)
LOVE LOVE LOVE this pot! Quick easy and DELICIOUS! Not to mention BEAUTIFUL!!
UPDATE!! I have had this pot for less than 5 MONTHS and it is falling APART!!
I am 65 y/o who takes very good care of this pot.
There’s no one else that uses it.I HAND WASH IT OCCASIONALLY WITH LITTLE TO NO MILD SOAP.
The hinge that holds the top lid is to cheap to handle the weight of the lid. So it easily bends and gets crooked. I can hear things rattle around in the fallen off handle but there’s no way to get the screws out to try and repair it yourself!!
And worst of all shortly after I received mine I ordered a second one as a birthday gift for a friend!! I feel embarrassed.
It’s high on beauty and form
BUT IT GET’s AN “F” FOR EVERY THING ELSE!!
What you get this pot is WAAAAY over priced. Had it been sturdy and functional I would have gladly paid the price.
I plan to avoid this company from now on.

I bought this espresso coffee maker largely for its unique, stylish looks – but it also does make great coffee. Possibly not much difference in flavour from what I would get out of my trusty old Bialetti espresso maker, but nevertheless a fine cup to start the day with. I would say it was more accurately described as a 2 espresso cup machine than 3 – unless you prefer half-filled cups. But overall, a very nice combination of art and functionality that justifies it’s rather high price compared to other espresso makers – something to hold on to long term.
