La Pavoni's "budget" lever machine, it features a two stage heating system, manual piston lever control, and an 8 cup capcity.

Bottom Line: Italian steel-and-chrome perfection; seven years (so far) of excellence. If you want is what it was designed for- 6oz double cappuccinos, there's no better. If not, look elsewhere.

Bottom Line: Typically Italian: great to look at, but a maintenance handful.

Bottom Line: Roger Moore vs. Sean Connery
Marc Tischler (quality: 8.5) 06.26.2008 Rating: 9.2

Michael Sanders (quality: 7.7) 04.28.2008 Rating: 7.4
Bottom Line: learn to extract not only espresso but soul and heart from your coffee.

Bottom Line: One has to be interested in the "art" and "science" in order to make best use of the machine. If the review sounds like too much trouble, buy a semi-automatic machine instead.

Randy Fox (quality: 5.7) 10.20.2007 Rating: 9.2
Bottom Line: For the money I feel I got reasonable value
Gino Magnotta (quality: 9.4) 09.09.2007 Rating: 8.2
Bottom Line: A superb machine that will at first frustrate but then educate in the art and science of espresso making, and at a reasonable price. Perserverence will eventually bring you unrivalled espresso pleasure, although be aware of its multiple shots limitations

Johan Vaktnaes (quality: 6.3) 02.11.2006 Rating: 7.2
Bottom Line: Not a machine; a personality which will reward you if you are prepared to invest a lot of time..
Jon Kornberg (quality: 6.5) 01.16.2006 Rating: 7.8
Bottom Line: Great fun for the inquisitive CG with time to spare.
Dave Erickson (quality: 4.3) 01.11.2006 Rating: 7.2
Bottom Line: Owning a La Pavoni Europiccolo is very much like owning an expensive Italian sports car: It's beautiful to look at, and when it works, you feel really great. But if you aren't a mechanic, be ready to pony up regularly for maintenance.
