Experience the ultimate in hands-on espresso production with the la Pavoni Europiccola EG-8 Lever Espresso Machine. This lever-based piston-driven machine relies on operator skill which means that it gives you the chance to make espresso just as you like it. Many coffee lovers swear by the hands-on approach of lever machines since they're often more fun to use than button-based electronic ones. Give yourself plenty of time for a learning curve and you'll soon be enjoying the most delicious aromatic espresso you've ever had.The EG-8 features a gold-plated body with eight-cup production ability and dual frothing systems. The steam wand includes a separate cappuccinatore frothing attachment which takes the guesswork out of creating luxurious foam for cappuccinos and lattes. This machine has solid rosewood handles and knobs and a solid brass boiler plus high-quality stainless steel elements for perfect results.Outstanding features of the la Pavoni Europiccola EG-8 Lever Espresso MachineHow it worksLift the lever on the side of the machine to lift a piston inside the grouphead. With the piston raised pressurized water flows from the boiler and infuses into the coffee inside the filter holder. Wait a few seconds if you desire to let the coffee pre-soak in the water for maximum flavor extraction. Then lower the lever. This forces the water through the coffee and into your cup. It's just that easy.Foolproof steamingThe traditional brass steam wand comes with two separate tips: a traditional three-hole tip plus a cappuccinatore tip that attaches with a simple coupling. The cappuccinatore tip is designed to draw milk up out of your container mix it with steam and send it back out as pure foam. This tip is perfect for beginners who haven't mastered the art of foam just yet or for producing drinks in large numbers.High-quality elementsThis machine produces 8-BAR pressure and features built-in safety systems. The solid copper nickel-plated boiler features an internal thermostat with automatic shut-off if temperatures reach unsafe levels. The thermostat can be reset once the machine cools down. There's also a pressure relief valve that relieves excess pressure inside the boiler. The portafilter is also made from solid brass as is the grouphead.Additional features and specificationsGold-plated lacquer finishMillennium brew group with heat diffusers20-oz. boiler makes 8 2-oz. cups of espresso without needing a refillReset fuse mounted to stainless elementsRemovable drip tray for easy cleaning1000 watts 110 volts; ETL-listed12 inches tall; 14 lbs.1-year manufacturer's warranty includedCaring for your machineLime scale and mineral buildup from water must periodically be removed from the boiler and other internal elements.

Also included is an instruction manual and a full instructional interactive DVD that takes you through every step of operation from start-up to professional drink tips and machine maintenance.What does "BAR pressure" mean?Pressure is the result of the packed (tamped) coffee giving the water resistance to pass through. The pump forces the water through that resistance and the power it needs to do so is commonly measured in BAR (= kg per square centimeter). A pressure rating is used on most pump-driven espresso machines. 9 BAR the typical accepted pressure for brewing espresso is 8.8 atmospheres of pressure or 130 pounds per square inch. Good pumps should be able to create more pressure (power) than they need to produce perfect espresso so that they don't break when the right combination (fineness and consistency of grind tamping and amount of ground coffee) is not prevalent. A good pump has a capacity of creating 15 or more BARs. To produce a lasting crema on top of your espresso the water should pass through the coffee at approximately 7 to 9 BARs of pressure.About la PavoniSince 1905 la Pavoni has been building fine espresso machines in a classic Italian tradition.

The la Pavoni Professional PC-16 Lever Espresso Machine is a lever-operated hands-on espresso machine that's ideal for home use. Many espresso aficionados swear by lever-based machines like this one because they're fun to use and give you complete control over the final result yet they're efficient enough to ensure great operation and low maintenance. Experience the pleasure of aromatic luxurious espresso and loads of foamy milk; this machine makes it easy with a re-designed 53.5mm grouphead and a brass steam wand complete with two frothing tips. Pre-infuse your coffee grounds in hot water to bring out maximum flavor and aroma. Produce just the right amount of espresso with the simple pull of a lever. This machine is built with professional-grade equipment including a nickel-plated brass boiler and stainless steel heating elements.Outstanding features of the la Pavoni Professional PC-16 Lever Espresso MachineQuality construction and fun operationThe body of the PC-16 features polished triple-plated chrome with a black base. The efficiently designed 53.5mm piston operation incorporates modern technology yet has a classic layout that dates back to 1961. Experience the pleasure of operating a lever-based espresso machine which gives you control over the final product and is virtually maintenance-free - there are no buttons to push or settings to program.Easy milk steaming and frothingA traditional steam wand with three-hole frothing tip makes it easy to create dense luxurious foam and wonderful heated milk for lattes and cappuccinos. Unlike regular pump machines the PC-16 is always ready to steam - there's no waiting for pressure to build. The lever system acts as a double boiler and provides steam as soon as you need it with about 5 minutes of continuous steam time per boil. This machine also includes a simple-to-use auto-frothing "cappuccinatore" system which is installed via a quick-connect coupling and is great for those who like foam but aren't quite pros at creating it yet. This system draws milk up and out of the container then foams it automatically and allows for continuous filling of cups with frothed milk.How it worksTo brew espresso simply raise the lever handle which raises the piston and allows boiler water to fill the cylinder. At this time water is coming in contact with the espresso grounds waiting in the portafilter; if you like you can wait a few seconds at this point to allow the grounds to "pre-infuse" which means soaking them in water to bring out their full aroma and flavor. When you're ready slowly lower the lever to force the water through the grounds. It's just that easy.Additional features and specifications40-oz.
