Having enjoyed a 3 cups Alessi espresso coffee maker also purchased from Finnish Design a number of years ago, I recently stepped up to an Alessi Pulcina 6 cups aluminimum red model. The aluminium red model is perfect for dinner party needs and is also a great design addition to my kitchen. One thing I have noticed with regard to Alessi coffee makers is that it is beneficial for the efficiency of coffee making and for maintaining the best coffee flavour to change the rubbers regularly.
