EPC-8 Europiccola

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.

It will have to be a manual lever such as Cafelat Robot or La Pavoni Europiccola.

I would personally just get a whole set of gaskets if you can afford it. Coffee sensor have full service gasket kits for 50€ and for my rebuild (albeit I didn’t have ”new” gaskets like you do) it just was a no brainer. Realistically, check the ones you have. If they feel soft still and have no visib

La Pavoni Europiccola works like a charm

I usually alternate between Peruvian Hero from Coffee Max and Cool Kids from Sixpence (despite my emphatically being neither cool nor a kid).
