Know before you buy
The La Pavoni Professional is a manual lever machine, meaning it requires a learning curve to master grind size, tamping pressure, and lever pull timing. It is best suited for enthusiasts who want full control over their extraction process rather than those looking for a one-touch automated experience.
The bottomless portafilter allows you to observe the espresso extraction in real-time as it leaves the basket. This provides immediate visual feedback on your puck preparation, helping you identify issues like channeling or uneven tamping so you can refine your technique.
Yes, this model is specifically configured for the North American market and operates on standard 110V power. You can plug it directly into a standard household outlet without needing a voltage converter.
The manual steam wand provides professional-grade steam pressure, allowing you to texture milk manually for lattes and cappuccinos. Because it is a manual system, you will need to develop the technique to position the pitcher for optimal microfoam.
The 38oz boiler capacity is designed to provide enough water for approximately 16 cups of espresso. Depending on how much steam you use for frothing, you will likely need to refill it after a few sessions of pulling multiple shots.
To maintain the luster of the copper and brass, you should wipe the exterior down with a soft, dry cloth after each use to prevent water spots. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, which can scratch the metal or strip the protective finish.
