Today we will be reviewing the Alessi Pulcina Espresso Coffee Maker. This is a stovetop mokapot style espresso coffee maker produced by the Italian design factory Alessi in collaboration with illy Research & Development Lab, and designed by architect Michele De Lucchi. We will note that there is more sediment in the output of the Alessi Pulcina than if we used a paper filter with a traditional mokapot, but the coffee is much less bitter than that produced by other traditional mokapots that we’ve used. When we make coffee using a stovetop mokapot at home, we typically also heat some milk and froth it in a French Press to make a latte, flat white, or cappuccino. Filling the bottom chamber with preheated water can shorten the brewing time, which prevents the coffee flavor from degrading from being on the stove for a long time and being exposed to heat. Architect. Michele De Lucchi is a prominent figure in movements like Cavart, Alchimia and Memphis. He designs lamps and furniture for the most well known Italian and European companies and realized architectural project in Italy and abroad.You can also see our Pumpkin Spice Latte recipe here. It uses a more traditional style stovetop mokapot, but you can use the same recipe with the Alessi Pulcina
