EPC-8 Europiccola

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

I've used a Flair and really liked it, but for convenience (and I realise not quite what you asked) - what about something with a small boiler like a La Pavoni Europiccola? Then you can steam as well

If we're talking coffee machines, I bought a LA PAVONI EUROPICCOLA. It was about $1200, so a little more expensive. But it's very reliable and self serviceable. No plastic parts, steams milk and makes amazing coffee. You can make your espresso coffee any way you like it. It's not automated in any wa

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

I can’t speak about a Robot specifically, I’m here because I’m thinking about getting one. That being said, I’ve had a lever machine since 1999. Specifically, a LaPavoni Europiccola. Lever machines in general give you so much control over every step of the process that I would never consider an auto

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 For me, the allure is that I'm making espresso how I thought it was originally made.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

I have this exact machine and really love it. I bought it for $200 in generally really great shape and it came with a portafilter. $375 is a lot especially w/o a portafilter. Given the ubiquity of La Pavonis and ease of sourcing parts, you can get a pre-millenium for about that price or a bit more a

I assume we're talking about the Europiccola here, right? They do or did make non-levers too. If so, here's the pros and cons I see as a former owner. Pros - You can make shots as good as anything out there. Fast warm up time. Can keep it forever. Very little to go wrong and you can service it yours

I have the De'Longhi Eletta Explore latest model (ECAM 45086 T) and still getting used to it. It cam grind fine enough to choke the flow. Over 50 drinks are programmed, but a lot of those are a joke. It does have cold brew (actual, not just over ice if thats a consideration.) Uses two different milk
