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

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!

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.

The Barista Express by Breville, BES870XL

Create great tasting espresso in less than a minute. The Barista Express allows you to grind the beans right before extraction, and its interchangeable filters and a choice of automatic or manual operation ensure authentic cafe style results in no time at all.

The 4 keys formula for third wave specialty coffee at home:

1. Rich, full flavor

Full-bodied coffee with rich and complex flavors is created using the right dose of 19-22g of freshly ground beans. This dose allows the coffee to fully express the incredible aroma, intense flavors and distinctive character of the coffee, for a true cafe quality result. Anything less than the optimal dose results in a weak and watery taste experience.

2. Perfectly balanced taste

Sweet, delicious and nuanced flavor notes begin with precise control over water temperature. Digital temperature control (PID) technology precisely controls water temperature for a perfectly balanced coffee extraction, giving you the control and consistency for delicious tasting coffee every time.

3. Irresistible body

An opulent, creamy and caramel-colored espresso starts with low pressure pre-infusion that soaks the grinds, allowing water to pass evenly through the coffee during the high pressure (9 bar) extraction process, delivered via our 15 bar Italian pump. This results in a rich, sweet and viscous espresso.

4. Silky, velvety mouthfeel

Savor the silky taste and velvety mouthfeel of true microfoam milk. The milk is steamed with pressure that creates thousands of tiny bubbles, enhancing flavor and mouthfeel, while the temperature brings out the milk’s sweetness, exciting your taste buds, for a harmonious blend of rich, sweet milk and syrupy, golden espresso.

Dose-Control Grinding

Integrated conical burr grinder grinds on-demand to deliver the right amount of freshly ground coffee directly into the portafilter for your preferred taste with any roast of bean.

Grind Size Dial

Simple and intuitive, giving you control over the grind size no matter what type of bean you're grinding.

Precise Espresso Extraction

Digital temperature control delivers water at precisely the right temperature, ensuring optimal espresso extraction.

Micro-Foam Milk Texturing

The steam wand performance allows you to hand texture micro-foam milk that enhances flavor and enables creation of latte art.

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.
