Product Description
The stove top espresso coffee maker "Pulcina", designed by Michele de Lucchi is the product of intense research into the optimization of the shape of the coffee pot in order to improve and enhance the organoleptic properties of coffee. Thanks to the internal shape of its special heater, "Pulcina" automatically stops filtering the coffee at the right moment. This interruption helps to eliminate the eruption phase, the final filtering stage that generates a burnt and bitter aftertaste, ensuring that only the finest qualities of the coffee are preserved and enhancing its full-bodied and rounded aroma. The spout is quite pronounced. Its typical 'V' shape, reminiscent of a baby chick's beak, is specially designed to perfectly cut drops when pouring. Practical and functional, making coffee with the "Pulcina" is just like making it with a traditional coffee pot.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2024Size: 6 CupsColor: RedVerified PurchaseI have no experience with moka pots, so I read a lot about it and watched a lot of videos before I received this item. Much of the advice said to put hot water into the water chamber, but I followed Alessi’s instructions to fill the chamber with cold water. I also used an Aeropress filter, and coffee ground not too fine (as instructed). I also removed the pot from the heat as soon as the coffee started coming up intensely. I also stirred the coffee after brewing. The coffee came out delicious, and not bitter at all! I was so pleased - even with my first cup. Strong, flavorful coffee, and not bitter.
I disassembled the machine, and washed the parts with hot water only as instructed. Love it so far!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2021Size: 3 CupsColor: BlackVerified PurchaseThe 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.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2020Size: 6 CupsColor: RedVerified PurchaseNot sure why other reviews were having problems with the surface oxidizing. If they would’ve read, do not use any type of soap detergent or keep it out of the dishwasher it stays beautiful. It clearly states that you need to season the coffee pot by running a few pots of coffee to let the oils coat the inside of the coffee pot. I just rinse with water and wipe mine out. As far as some of the people complaining about the handle breaking off, you’re not supposed to use the handle to unscrew the top, or it will break. That’s a no-brainer. This pot is probably one of the best Moka pots I’ve used. I bought two, one for myself and one for gift. I’ve used this for 3 1/2 years straight now. It makes two pretty strong cups of espresso-based coffee. I love it! The only thing I will suggest is for them to make a silicone sleeve for the bottom portion so if you need to make another pot quickly while it’s still warm, you won’t burn your hands. The recipient loves her mocha pot as well. Bought them at the same time.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2021Size: 3 CupsColor: BlackVerified PurchaseI loved everything about it but was disappointed by my American idea of what a cup equals. An espresso shot is technically 1 ounce hence why it's a 3 cup. But even my demitasse cups are 1.5 ounces so its basically a 2 shot espresso maker. Which is fine for just me. Not so good if you're serving company. I gave it 4 Stars because none of the questions figure in the description of the listing. The description isn't wrong it's just not what most would think. Otherwise, it's well worth the money especially compared to those cheap Chinese made Moka pots you find at Marshall's/TJ Maxx/Home Goods, etc kinda places.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2021Size: 3 CupsColor: BlackVerified Purchase( 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2024Size: 3 CupsColor: BlackVerified PurchaseI purchased this originally in 2019 and it is still working perfectly! Easy to use. Great espresso - I use Cafe Bustello. I know the gifted one will be used well!

Und ja, es funktioniert tadellos auf Induktion, obwohl es manchmal andere Meinungen gibt. ich denke die haben es einfach nicht ausprobiert. der Kocher ist megaschön. Fühlt sich gut an, ist nicht zu leicht und die Verarbeitung lässt keine Wünsche offen. Ein wahrer Hingucker. da macht es noch viel mehr Spaß sich ein Espresso zu kochen. Ist jeden Cent wert. Absolute Kaufempfehlung.
