I have had my La Pavoni expresso maker for 35 years of coffee making. A couple of years ago we replaced the switch, and that is the only problem I have had. Although, it doesn"t come with alot of bells and whistles, (nothing to go wrong) it makes...

Yeah, all true. I have had a slightly more upscale version for about three years, it has a gauge which tells me when the pressure is right, and a larger boiler - 16 cups (allegedly). I also bought a nice eagle, or whatever, which sits atop the machine...

We love our La Pavoni Espresso Machine but were disappointed to find that there are no replacements for any of the removable parts. With a variety of cups, screens, screws, etc. that are often removed for cleaning and adjusted, it means we have to be...

I have used a Europiccola for several years now, and have pulled many a great shot of espresso from it. There is no rocket science to using it, but it does require some initial experimentation to get the grind and tamp right. It took me five or six...

The machine for those who really love espresso. With a little practice and good quality coffee, you can make the best espresso possible. No automatic, high-tech machine can match the quality of this traditional machine. You need to feel the pressure of...
