Ray on 10/1/2010, said: The La Pavoni machines are nearly unmatched when it comes to having total control over your espresso extractions. With that said, if you just want to wake up in the morning, push a button and enjoy coffee, then this probably isn't the machine for you. However, if you like to tinker with stuff and/or want to be able to control very fine detail of making coffee (and you love the mechanics of extraction process as much as drinking the espresso itself), then this could be the machine for you. Be warned, the machine gets very, very hot, so as you learn to use it, you will no doubt burn your fingers here or there. The machine demands quite a bit of attention to detail, so again, if you are more concerned with just having a quick espresso, rather than learning and mastering the art of how to properly extract the perfect shot, then think twice. For those willing to put in the time and effort to learn how to use this machine, it pays you back with some of the finest shots of rich/buttery espresso you can imagine. You better also have a grinder that is able to produce some good quality grinds, as the La Pavoni is very sensitive to both grind and tamp. I, personally, would also recommend the use of a bottomless / naked portafilter when using this machine. As an added bonus, the machine is fairly compact and looks like something out of an art museum while not in use. Be prepared to dump a few shots while fine tuning the grind/tamp also. And this isn't the machine for making many shots of espressos or turning out 4 or 5 lattes during a dinner party. It's for the man or woman who is chasing the perfect shot and loves the romance of using a lever machine... Showing comments 1-1 of 1
