Pulcina coffee maker, designed by Michele de Lucchi, comes from a research entirely dedicated to the design and functionality of the espresso coffee maker. It's a high-performance coffee maker with a boiler that stops dispensing the drink at the right time before the coffee gets a bitter aftertaste. This helps to enhance the full and rich aroma of this drink. The spout has been designed with the same attention to functional aspects: when pouring coffee, its special V shape, which recalls a chick's beak (hence the name of the coffee maker) allows it to perfectly stop the drop. The handle and plastic knob in colors black and red complete the coffee maker.
