  • One Burr Grinder + La Pavoni = Perfection. Good Bye Semi Auto's!!
I have had this machine for well over a year now. I purchased a Capresso Infinity Burr Grinder with my order. The Capresso Burr Grinder is on the low end, price wise. I did speak directly with La Pavoni Tech support and he said that this grinder would work just fine. The bottom line is it really does work great. I never had a problem with either machine. If I had too do it over again I would spend a little more money on the grinder. Not because it does not perform with the La Pavoni but because it probably will not work well on a finicky SEMI AUTO MACH. This was and is my first Manual Espresso Machine. I must say I like it better than the Breville 900 Double Boiler and a couple of others I have owned or used. You do everything with this machine that you do with a semi auto model and I mean everything. Actually let me rephrase that. You do the same things on the semi autos that you would do on the Pavoni. The only difference with the La Pavoni is you actually pull your own shot with your own muscles, instead of an electric/electronic pump that will end up defaulting on you and too many other things. You just pull the Arm down. That is how easy it is. PERIOD.. This is in my opinion the best way to go for the best espresso at a fairly low price. I am not even talking about the maintenance on these other machines. There is no maintenance on the Pavoni. You can descale it yourself with ease. This Machine is actually, for me easier to master because you only have too grind and tamp. Your Temperature is always constant and your bars are always constant in your boiler. When you pull the lever you can actually feel the resistance in your shot. DID I MENTION YOU CAN PREINFUSE YOUR OWN SHOT??? You never need too time your shot. You can tell by the resistance when you pull your shot coming from the arm. You can see and taste the crème. I just like the instant feedback that I can feel. This La Pavoni is pretty good looking and is very small and light. I actually pack it in my suit case when I travel. You can not do that with a semi auto. I am not knocking Semi Auto Espresso machines, they are great but they are not easier to operate. I think they are more complicated especially if you are new to this. What is the ideal boiler/brew temp? What is the ideal group head temp? What is the ideal pre infusion time? Etc... If you eliminate some of the variables your solutions become easier. The bottom line is, you want a great espresso in the morning or when ever. What ever helps you achieve that goal in the least amount of time wins. This is a win, win situation. Yes there is a learning curve and if you have a problem just get in touch with customer service. They are great and will walk you through the steps. The instruction book is well written and you can also go on you tube. One thing for sure is you will not receive a broken machine because there is not much that can break on them. Once I dialed in my burr grinder, I was pulling pretty good shots in no time. I also experimented with different coffees. With this machine and many semi auto machines oily beans present a problem but you can use oily beans with the La Pavoni. You just need to tweak your method a little. Like anything else you need to practice. I am on my way to Vegas and I am all packed with my Pavoni. When I wake up in the morning I want my coffee and I really do not like walking around the hotel half sleeping looking for a Starbucks. I just want people to know that owning a semi auto machine is not going to make you pull a better shot. Practice will. There is no magic machine out there. Maybe a fully auto machine will do that. Semi Auto is still manual. You need to do the same amount of work with the exception of pulling the lever. Pull the lever or push a water pump button. The choice is yours. Hope I helped? ... show more

  • Caveat Emptor
A mere 4 months after I bought it, and with just one use per day, this machine it has started to leak from the Sight Glass (water level monitor). Which undoubtedly signals it is not long for this world. Aside from that, the metal boiler has started to rotate over the cheap plastic base when I screw in the filter handle. This, I suppose, is why one never hears a laudatory "Italian engineering." What a waste of time and money! ... show more

  • best tasting coffee shots
If you are looking for a pull handle coffee maker (which I was) this is the one for you. It takes a fine grind tamped firmly and it makes perfect crema on the top of your shot. I read some reviews before I bought this one but the only one that concerned me was the person that said when she pulled the lever, the coffee machine tipped forward. I have found that if it does that your coffee is too finely ground and very firmly tamped so water has a hard time getting through. I tried several different grinds to make sure it was just the right amount of pressure to create the perfect shot. I wanted a pull handle coffee maker because when I had my own espresso stand it made the best tasting shots. I have had it for several weeks and make coffee at least twice a day. The La Pavoni makes great steamed milk too and I have never had to wait more than a few seconds (if any) for the steam to build up. As long as you don't use a giant vessel to steam you will get at least two cups worth of perfectly steamed milk. I read the instructions and followed the cleaning procedure exactly but ran 4 full containers of clean water through instead of two. If you don't you can still taste the cleaner. I also found that the La Pavoni did not have that "break in" period that I have heard from many other types of coffee makers where after a few months it finally made the right tasting shot. Like I said, if you run enough clean water through, the first shot is perfect. ... show more

  • Gorgeous machine that makes great espresso
This is my fourth espresso machine. I bought it after the La Pavoni "Carina" (that I bought from Zabars) started to get unreliable, and I decided I'd rather replace it than to put more money into the Carina ... and still face a week or two of drip coffee. While it is amusing how very little different the Professional and the 'Toy' models look, there is a big difference in performance. The Carina takes a very long time to heat up; this Carina Grande (which is what La Pavoni calls this black-base Professional model) takes five minutes. The Carina generates more steam pressure than a cheap automatic espresso machine, but the Carina Grande generates more steam pressure than the Carina. The result is that I get a better cup of espresso, with less need to plan ahead. The machine is a little quirky. When you turn it on, it vents a bit of steam from the over-pressure valve before it makes a thtip sound and the pressure starts mounting. It's not very consistent about how long it will vent. If the water level is much below half-full, it may keep venting and not start building pressure. I think the bottom line with La Pavoni is you get a really gorgeous Chrome Peacock that makes truly great espresso, but the workmanship is a bit uneven and you certainly shouldn't expect Japanese-car levels of reliability. ... show more

  • This machine is perfection.
We've only had this machine for a week now, but I'm already in love. It makes the best espresso I have ever tasted... We are coffee snobs (roast our own beans even!) and this machine is perfection. It's quiet (so nice not to hear the thunk thunk of a pump!), easy to use, etc. We thought there was going to be more of a learning curve, but after pulling a few shots, we've got it down. The foam extension isn't the best, but we're getting some pretty good foam now a week later. This machine is perfect too for people who have limited counterspace. It looks SO sexy on the counter, is easier to clean than our pump machine, and takes up so little space. I'm in love. :) (Don't tell my husband! ;)) ... show more
