  • La Pavoni EPC-8 Europiccola!
This is a classic manual Italian-made Espresso machine, and it truly makes outstanding Espresso, but there are a few things to consider before buying this machine. First of all, this machine is for the Espresso lover who likes at least some control (in this case pressure via the lever) and drinks maybe 4-6 Espressos a day. It would be no problem to prepare more, but if you are into a lot of shots per day with as little work as possible, this may not be the machine for you. I personally also don't drink Capucchinos or Lattes, so will not comment on that particular feature. I also think if this your preferred drink, you may not per se need a Pavoni, as Espresso quality is perhaps still important, but not as critical (my 2 cents on that). You need to be willing to put some time into preparing your shots, refine your grind, tamp settings, and also be willing to learn how to operate the machine. It is not hard, but will take at least a little bit of time (days to weeks). I personally love it, and am now (after about 4 weeks) able to make consistent (in my opinion) great Espresso shots with lots of crema, flavorful and not bitter. But it does take some getting used and playing around with the settings, but is well worth the effort. I will discuss PROS and CONS, some TIPS on how to use it, and also some needed or recommended ACCESSORIES below. PROS: - The Espresso quality is truly outstanding (that's what it's all about, isn't it?) - Classic design, certainly a "statement" in the kitchen, if this is what you are looking for - Manual control of pressure (and with that extraction time), I personally love this feature - Built with high quality components, and if taken care of, can last for a long time, perhaps life-time CONS: - There is a learning curve, but I was able to make good shots within a few days, and great shots within a few weeks, I used to own many Espresso machines in my life, but this is by far the best - The machine is getting very hot after a while, so be aware of that, and definitely keep out of reach of children! - Many people complain that one can not change the water when the machine is still on (hot / pressurized), as one has to depressurize the machine first. In my experience, this is not a big deal at all, as it only requires to turn on the pressure steamer and once the machine has been depressurized, the machine can be easily refilled (BTW: manufacturer recommends to unplug the machine while doing this) - The machine should not be left on throughout the day, manufacturer recommends for up to 30 min, I fully agree with this recommendation, as the machine does tend to get too hot after 30 minutes plus, and a machine that is too hot will negatively affect espresso quality (in my view adding bitterness, less flavor, shot too hot, may also affect crema). This means that the machine has somewhat of a temperature sweet spot, I find that to be between maybe 15 - 25 minutes or so after turning the machine on (may require some experimentation). The machine has a green light that turns itself off when the machine is supposed to be "ready" (maybe 5-7 minutes or so), but I don't think it is ready at that point, and while you can pull an "early shot" at that stage, the shot temperature will likely be too low / too cold, and the extraction not ideal, shot quality OK, but not great - You may have to be willing to replace gaskets etc eventually. For the mechanically inclined this may not be a big deal, but for some people it might be an issue, for more info see replacement part websites tips below TIPS: - You will need a high quality burr grinder to make great shots with the Pavoni, I personally use the Mazzer Mini Electronic Grinder - Type B, I had the Breville Smart Grinder before, but I feel it was not up to the task, and I was unable to "choke" the Pavoni with the Smartgrinder, which is perhaps not critical, but shows that the Pavoni needs a fairly fine grind, plus the Mazzer lets me really fine tune the grind as it is "step less" - I use filtered water (others even use bottled water), and heat the machine passed the point where the green light turns itself off, for about 15 minutes, this seems to be close to the "sweet spot". If you leave the machine on longer than 30 minutes, the machine tends to get too hot, and espresso quality suffers - Of course, use fresh beans (I use a local roaster), and a decent tamper (51 mm), I tamp it fairly hard (many recommend about 30 pounds and this works fairly well with the Pavoni in my experience) - When pulling a shot, I leave the lever in the up position for 10 seconds, and then pull down to finish the shot before 30 seconds - I tend to pull an "empty" water shot into my espresso cups, which warms up the port-a-filter (if it wasn't inserted already), and of course also the cups, but also cleans out any remaining grinds from the group head - I clean the group head after every shot, and also empty and clean the machine at the end of the day, I think this will help in the long run - I removed the plastic cover that goes over the glass sight as it tends to collect dirt, and is otherwise not particularly useful as the machine gets hot anyway, but the risk is that you break the glass sight if you are not careful, I haven't so far! - This machine (like all espresso machines) needs to be cleaned regularly (I would say daily and/or after each use, which doesn't take much), and since Chrome can corrode, I suggest to make sure the machine is dry after each use RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES: - You will need a high quality burr grinder as mentioned above, as mentioned I went with a Mazzer, and had less luck with the Breville Smart Grinder, so this may require a significant investment in addition to the La Pavoni, but in my view worth it (the Mazzer is built like a tank) - You will need a 51 mm Tamper (that's the correct size for the new Europiccolas), I got one of the flat "Chinese" heavy duty ones from Amazon, and that one does the trick for me, since the group head is flat, I am not sure you need a curved tamper - Nylon brush (to clean group head in particular) - Cleaning accessories (in particular decalcifier - I use Durgol Swiss Decalcifier, available on Amazon) - Many people recommend to get a second portafilter basket, I did not get one, and am not sure why you need one - I added a pressure gauge to my machine from orphan espresso, see (item number: 1389 Europiccola Pressure Gauge Adapter - SMALL THREAD with Gauge) -> you will need some Teflon tape, otherwise, it will leak, but this is an easy install and works perfectly and provides you with pressure reading, note that this is not the pressure reading of the group head. Of course, the manufacturer does not recommend this, and it may void the warranty, however, it would be very simple to retrofit it to the original state (simple screw) - If you prefer to pull your shots in a single glass, one can remove the spout from the portafilter (but then tamping becomes challenging) - Replacement parts are available at espressoparts dot com, orphanespresso dot come and also partsguru dot come I have ordered from orphanespresso, and so far am very happy with that site (prices reasonable as well) INCLUDED ACCESSORIES - small portafilter: most people never use it, I don't either - capuccino accessory: can't comment on it, don't use it, sorry I hope this review is helpful, I love this machine and I hope to keep it for a long time, but it is definitely not for everyone! ... show more

  • Money well spent
I have fallen in love this thing. It's solidly built and beautiful, and once you gain a little experience using it, the espresso can be phenomenal. In an age where everything is disposable and digitally controlled, here you have a system that allows you freedom to play with water temps, extraction rates, pressure, etc. It's old school cool, and while that should cause pause, in this age, learning almost anything is at your fingertips. There are many videos/groups specific to it, and how to get the most out of it. It is also up at the tops of the all time best designed/built reasonably priced home espresso machine ever made, which includes that it's designed/built to be serviced. The first machines hit the market over 50 years ago and the design was on point and has only gotten better. There are so many of them out there, 30 years from now seals, rebuild kits, heaters, switches, etc. are going to be available. Generally, most of such is also pretty easy to do. With a minimum of upkeep and care on your part, you'll have a machine able to be used for many decades. Having said all that, what's the downside? Well it's not an auto nor super auto. That's both good and bad. You're going to have to turn it on, potentially vent a little steam and wait for it to come to temp, then grind/tamp a dose and manually pull the shot. Generally, start to end takes about 15-20 minutes, and requires maybe 3-6 minutes of work time on your part. If you just want to wake up in the morning and down a prepared shot of epsresso, this is not the machine for you. But if you want to experiment with different varieties/roasts of espresso, an auto / super auto is not an ideal machine, and this machine certainly allows you to experiment more easily. One other thought; it's been my experience that you do not want to use the machine to pull endless shots. Without some heat management, 1-3 double shots is ideal, then shut it down. When pulling many shots or letting the machine sit on, the grouphead/extraction temp of the water tends to get too hot. It's a home machine, even if the water tank holds 1.6 liters. That's it, hope you found helpful, and if you do buy, hope you fall in love with it like I and so many others have. If not, it may be comforting to know that there's a pretty good secondary / used market for them, and well cared for machines do hold their value better than most expresso machines at this price point. ... show more
