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

Daniel Bennett (quality: 6.0) 01.29.2005 Rating: 4.2
Bottom Line: Looks great, feels poor, doesn't make good coffee but makes the world's most stylish milk steamer!

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.

Gail McNeill (quality: 8.5) 10.03.2009 Rating: 10.0
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.
General Washington (quality: 6.0) 03.18.2000 Rating: 7.2
Bottom Line: Good espresso, but maybe not for the faint of heart.
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
Hugo Thorisson (quality: 5.0) 03.20.2003 Rating: 9.8
Bottom Line: Excellent machine were you are in full control of your espresso coffee
Jay C (quality: 4.0) 01.21.2008 Rating: 9.2
