Thrift store find of the century! $30! and seems to be in good working order.

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 love my espresso. But sometimes I just want a big cup of coffee.

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

Continue to wait for fellow espresso series one, or move on to something else? [$3,500]

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 been noticing a lot of local roasters don’t mention if the beans are light / medium / dark roast - why not?

I usually alternate between Peruvian Hero from Coffee Max and Cool Kids from Sixpence (despite my emphatically being neither cool nor a kid). These work well with my La Pavoni Europiccola lever machine. All the Sixpence blends seem to mention fruity tones, while Coffee Max has its appropriately name

Pre filling basket greatly increases output (air buster alternative)

That's a good method, and that sorta worked for me. But if I dose 21g, one pull gives me maybe 15g out. So what I used to do was just do two full pulls to get enough output, but channeling was just really hard to avoid for me with that. I think if I used a puck screen I'd probably be able to do it w

Are spring lever machines really worth all that?

I have Lilet Mara and La Pavoni 1978, Europiccola. The lever is fantastic. Love them both but the lever makes better coffee.

What purchase felt expensive at the time but was completely worth it?

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

Espresso suggestion [$6000 budget]! Possible endgame?

I would get a lever machine with an attached steam wand like an Argos Odyssey or La Pavoni Europiccola. Pretty much ideal for traditional espresso paired with a high end traditional grinder.

Used La Pavoni Europiccola: need advice before buying [€300]

I am speaking from 3 years experience with La Pavoni Pro. Depends from the coffee you are trying to get - the darker the coffee the easier the extraction Must have for me is: Bong isolator, digital temp and pressure profile kit - without this its hard to be consistent , there are no amount of experi

Cover process for our new Webtoon, sketch to final ✨

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
