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

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. The quickmills are very good machines that are well made and come with very good stock parts, the s

What makes you think the Appartamento will be much better? Heat exchangers are heat exchangers. With your one milky per day and preference for mid 1900’s look, consider a la pavoni europiccola

I saw the video last night and was very intrigued. I’m a strict filter guy for larger coffees - I like espresso neat, to use the spirits term, or occasionally an iced espresso and soda. I generally detest americanos for many of the reason James mentioned, and I find it very disappointing when a cafe

Consider me a fellow believer, because this lever fever has me acting like a total achiever! I’m a manual-pulling, chrome-buffing, espresso-retriever now that I’ve snagged this 1977 La Pavoni Europiccola. It’s essentially a vintage workout routine💪that just happens to produce world class liquid gold

At the risk.of being dumped on. I have a la pavoni Europiccola along with a Nieche zero. I am probably in by avout 1500. Have o ever drunk an expresso? Never - find the taste far too strong... I usually just make lattes. Do I enjoy the.process ..yep
