Alessi Pulcina Induction 3-Cup Espresso Pot Red

Alessi Pulcina Induction espresso pot is a beautiful and unique pot dedicated to coffee lovers around the world. The espresso pot has a capacity of 3 cups corresponding to approx 15 cl.

Pulcina is the result of intensive research and optimization of the espresso pot's shape to improve the coffee experience and avoid a bitter and burnt aftertaste. The pot's V-shaped pouring spout resembles a chick's beak and is specifically designed to cut perfectly when pouring. Pulcina means chick in Italian, and it is precisely the spout that gave the pot its name.

Alessi Pulcina espresso pot is designed by Michele De Lucchi in collaboration with Illy coffee and was launched in 2015. The collaboration to develop the pot took 15 years and the result is a unique and incredibly delightful espresso pot!

The red handle and lid knob are made of heat-resistant plastic, so you can serve the coffee immediately after brewing.

The espresso pot is made of aluminium and on this model the base is made of stainless steel, so it can be used on all types of hobs - including induction. If used on a gas stove you should expect the pot to become discolored, and this is not covered by the warranty. Should only be washed by hand, as aluminium does not tolerate the dishwasher!

Note: Avoid leaving water in the pot after use, as it will cause rust.

NOTE. Before you start using the induction pot it is recommended that you test whether it works with your induction hob. This is simply done by placing the pot on the hob WITHOUT coffee and water in it, and feeling whether the pot becomes heated. Feel free to test this on several of your burners - the pots often work best on burners that match their size.
