EPC-8 Europiccola

It will have to be a manual lever such as Cafelat Robot or La Pavoni Europiccola. Even $6000 La Marzocco machines use plastic for the water tank and cold water lines feeding the pump, as does the Cellini. Better quality semi-auto machines such as Cellini are all metal for the water lines and compone

Now I am torn whether to keep this, or my La Pavoni Europiccola. Pulls a pretty good shot considering I'm just getting started with it: Came with manual and everything. I think this is a v1 from 1999. I am surprised by how good condition the machine appears to be in.

I would honestly look at idrinkcoffee.com and get a returned QuickMill Pippa if you want something at the price of a Gaggia E24 or a QuickMill Popup which will cost about 1250 as a return or open box.

I have 3 different french presses, a bialetti moka pot, a ceramic V60 for filter, la pavoni europiccola, picopresso, flair go, and a traditional costa rican coffee sock I love each one of those methods, but for simplicity I use the french press, if I need more clarity I go for the sock or V60, but i

lol this thing always getting hate on here. I preordered mine as soon as I saw it mostly because of how great the Aiden has been for us. My first espresso machine was a vintage dual switch La Pavoni Europiccola. Bought it on eBay in 2018. It’s the only espresso machine I’ve ever owned. I learned how

So, I've never had a small footprint espresso maker like a Bambino. I've heard they are great, but my first real espresso machine was a La Pavoni. For me, the allure is that I'm making espresso how I thought it was originally made. As it turns out, my machine is less sophisticated than the spring le

A La Pavoni Europiccola or Professional could be a good option for you. It will last you a life time, repairs are simple and parts are easily found. Makes traditional espresso and built to last.
