Classic La Pavoni Europiccola lever espresso. My latest toy from Italy. In the process of replacing all seals / gaskets. Also full soak, clean and flushing of boiler from hard water etc. Plan on sending element for 120v conversion from it's current 220v. Issue that local charges here are more than double the cost (but quicker) than me sending it off to Hungry (6 weeks) for conversion. Ended up selling two other lever machines to a local coffee roaster. He wanted one for his shop and one for home. Nice to hear him state that coffee on the two lever machines equalled or rivalled his shop expensive dual boiler PID machine LM GS3.
Nice - congratulations A friend of mine had one of these machines. It took him some time to master it, but once he figured it out, he made some spectacular espressi
Now for the fun. Removal,of the element from boiler proved to be a task requiring 2 men and a baby. OK wife assisted me.
Here it is partially put together after the base returned from powder coating. I like the contrast of the yellow base and black accessories.
Thats one sweet looking coffee machine, congrats on getting it and breathing new life back into that classic design, would look stunning in any kitchen I'm sure.
Sold but have more. In case you haven't figured it out. Vintage espresso machines are my other hobby. Closest and third are original colour. Dark grey and red I had powder coated.
