Perhaps it's not surprising that an Italian company such as La Pavoni takes its espresso and cappuccino very seriously. The detailed manual and video that come with this professional-style machine spare no small detail while guiding you through the espresso and cappuccino process. With proper equipment, La Pavoni argues, including very fine grounds and a state-of-the art machine, an espresso or cappuccino can be a work of art. Because cafe prices are rising and an improperly made espresso is indistinguishable from mud, it's worth investing the time and equipment required for a rich and truly satisfying espresso experience. For me, one thing that separates a barista-style cappuccino from many homemade efforts is the quality of the foam. The Europiccola produces foam with just right amount of frothiness, although the foam can also be controlled if you prefer less enthusiastic frothing. For top-quality cappuccinos, the machine should be descaled four or five times a year (descaling instructions are included). Made of gleaming chrome, this strikingly attractive machine should not be cleaned with abrasives. --Laura Cuthbert

Editor's note: This item may arrive with water inside from the manufacturer's pressure test. This is a normal occurrence and doesn't point to a problem with the machine.

• Professional-style machine
• Attractive chrome base
• Great steaming mechanism for cappuccinos

• Power 1000W. Voltage: 120V

User questions & answers

Question:	We have hard water issues. Can the machine descaled
Answer:	Yes it can. Sesttle Coffee Gear has a "how to" video. I think they were using dezcale. I use distilled water in my machine, as I have in my other machines, with no problems & no scaling issues.
Question:	Reveiwers have commented that the PC-8 would only produce a few shots before becoming too hot, is that also the case with the PC-16? I drink 4-6 shots first thing in the morning and need to know if this type of machine is the best fit
Answer:	It also does....The 16 is larger, holds more water and subsequently a greater volume of steam. The heating elements are the same. TBH if you are drinking 4-6 doubles you will spend 25 minutes making those once you know what you are doing. The overheating issue is a novice persons issue, this is not a "put coffee in, get coffee out" machine, it requires a bit of learned skill to know when to turn the switch off to allow sufficient cooling as you make successive shots. So the "becoming too hot" is moot once you know what it is and why you avoid that issue. Avoiding shots made by too hot a machine soon become part of your technique to making good coffee.On another note, i found as my technique got better i required LESS coffee drunk per day as what i was making was by far some of the best coffee ive had and therefore didnt want to spoil the after taste by going overboard.
Question:	Thinking coffee cart for my 50 person company. They come in waves from 6-8. How long does it take to cool down before i can add more water
Answer:	not a good idea for a company machine. you can expect about 8-10 coffees max out of it, at a go, depending on the technique and it has a very very steep learning curve. If someone forgets to put water into it, its toast. But its a fantastic machine for those that know how to use it.
Question:	can you tell me the time it takes to pull 2 shots, thinking of a coffee cart
Answer:	It doesn't take long to pull 2 shots--maybe 20 sec. The problem is it takes about 10 min to heat the water, and you can't add water without waiting for the unit to cool down enough to remove the cap on the reservoir. It would be a very poor choice for a coffee cart!

La Pavoni Professional Line of Lever Espresso Machines

The La Pavoni Professional espresso maker is a a combination of style, quality and reliability. Available in various styles and finishes. The machine is largely constructed of chrome plated brass and is built to last. The base of the espresso machine is made of steel and is triple copper and brass plated on the outside and features wood handles. The inside of the base has has a light polish to prevent problems due to moisture.The large boiler ensures that lime scale deposits have minimal effect, meaning minimum maintenance is needed.

By lifting the lever, a piston inside the group is raised, allowing water under pressure to infuse the coffee in the filter holder. The lever is then lowered, causing the piston to force the water through the coffee into the cup. The user therefore can vary the speed at which the water passes through the coffee, ensuring this latter is made exactly according to his own requirements.

The machine is fitted with a steam jet interchangeable with the Automatic Cappuccino maker, for the preparation of cappuccino and hot drinks in general, and is equipped with a manometer to check the boiler pressure.The "Cappuccino Automatic" attachment ensures a perfect cappuccino every time.

User questions & answers

Question:	where is it made
Answer:	Hello, this is a famous brand made in Italy, founded in Milan in 1905. Great machine for the traditionalist at heart. We have many customers who come to us for parts such as gaskets or replacement electric coil, for units that were made 20 or more years ago and it is no problem obtaining them, and they are inexpensive and simple to repair on such units. Let us know if we can be of any help. Mike
Question:	Can this machine burn down if you forget to turn off the switch
Answer:	la Pavoni lever machines are equipped with a re-settable fuse. This internal fuse will turn off power to the heating element should the machine be left in the on position by accident. The fuse can be engaged by first adding water to the macine and then pressing in the fuse which is located beneath the grommet under the base.
Question:	does the lever use a spring -loaded return or is it a manual push
Answer:	manual no springs, had mine for over 17 years and average 2-3 espressos a day.
Question:	Is it worth it to buy the model with the pressure gauge
Answer:	I've had two of these over the years, and neither one had the pressure gauge. Just wait for the light to go out, and it's ready to brew.

Using a naked portafilter can tell you a lot about the quality of the tamp.

Only for The La Pavoni Lever Espresso Machine

The quintessential expression of coffee is espresso.

Bottomless Portafilter also Naked Filter-holder for Europiccola Professional Stradivari La Pavoni Coffee Maker with 51mm filter size.

A Quality Control Check

• The most frequently cited reason for using a naked portafilter is that it allows us to judge the evenness of our extraction and therefore produce tastier and more consistent espressos. The spouts of a traditional portafilter will disguise spurting and channeling but, so the argument goes, this is clearly visible with a naked one. This should, in theory, enable the barista to see the quality of the extraction from the pour. And based on that, they can then focus on methods that produce more evenness, be it through adjusting the distribution, grind, or tamping.

A Higher Fall

• A less contentious advantage of the naked portafilter is the increased cup clearance it provides. This is especially helpful when using drip tray scales in conjunction with takeaway cups. These are typically far taller than china cups and so struggle to fit beneath a traditional spouted portafilter.
• On the other hand, the drop from a greater height might result in a slight bubbling of the espresso. Just give the cup a vertical tap prior to serving, and those worrying bubbles will disappear.

An Aesthetic Delight

• It may not be as important as the taste or the aroma, but the trend of coffee photography is evidence enough that we love the aesthetics of coffee. And extractions really do look pretty.
• Opt for this mod, and you’ll soon be entranced by the way the espresso forms those gleaming brown and gold rivulets. This, in itself, is perhaps enough of a reason to take the plunge and go naked.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I pull shots and steam at the same time? Is it a dual boiler
Answer:	Yes you can do both functions at the same time. This is a single boiler system with a heat exchanger built in. The espresso comes from the water in the heat exchanger. The reset of the boiler handle steam and hot water. Feel free to call us if you need more information. Thank you, EG&H
Question:	Does it have a built-in grinder
Answer:	The PUB 1V does not have a grinder built in. The grinder is a stand alone item
Question:	Hello. How many cups a day can this machine handle
Answer:	There is always a range that is offered because an espresso machine has to work harder to produce cappuccino than espresso. So we recommend no more that 175-200 mixed drinks a day. ( 12 hour days) More than that consider a larger 230 volt unit with a larger boiler and TWO steam wands, such as a BAR T 2V
Question:	Does it come equipped with a built-in refillable water tank? Or does it easily hook-up to a normal kitchen faucet
Answer:	The PUB series machines require a direct 3/8 water line . A 8 liter water softener, included will be positioned vetween the main water souce and the machine. Also, commercial machines are required to stay on 24/7 they only get turned off for service. Something to consider if you are thinking of installing it in a home also needs a dedicated 120 volt electrical line.

User questions & answers

Question:	does it have e61 group head
Answer:	The Bar Star Model does not have the E 61 group head. The E61 group head was revolutionary 55 years ago when it was introduced as it was able to compress the water/coffee ratio to achieve crema however with current technology most all high quality espresso machines produce the same amount of crema. The coffee used is actually a larger factor, dark oil beans tend to produce less crema than a medium roast bean.
Question:	Why is this $2000 more than direct
Answer:	The U.S. suggested retails is $7200.00 Maybe your confusing it with another BAR model...like the BAR T?
Question:	Where can I get a double shot espresso portafilter. I need a double shot porta filter where can I get this for this machine
Answer:	refer to the la Pavoni USA importer, European Gift & Houseware
Question:	How many cups per hour does it make
Answer:	This 2 group unit is rated at 550 to 600 drinks per day.

User questions & answers

Question:

does this require an adapter nut between the gauge and the machine

Answer:

Plastic is pretty much unavoidable on any modern product, but it's pretty restrained on this one. Only the base (what you can see of it), knob, buttons and toast-lowering handle are plastic. The knobs and buttons don't look like plastic, and the handle only does if you're very familiar with plastic moldings. So what little plastic there is is done well. It's also worth mentioning that the toaster is rather light weight, but not flimsy at all.
