La Pavoni EPBB-8 Europiccola 8-Cup Lever Style Espresso
Machine
Product Features
Product Details
Product Description
True baristas "pull" an espresso with a lever
instead of punching a button and relying on an automatic pump's whims.
With this Italian-made machine, you force water through the
coffee yourself, using the lever to precisely control speed, which means you
get the full flavor and thick cap of crema that mark an ideal drink.
Pulling an espresso the old-fashioned way is enormously gratifying, and a video accompanying the machine will teach anyone the skills needed to become a barista.
A steam wand heats milk for hot chocolate and creates foam
for cappuccinos, lattes, and other coffee drinks, while an alternate wand with
frothing attachment produces heaps of foam automatically.
The water tank holds 20 ounces, enough to make 8 cups before
the tank (accessible under the machine's removable dome) needs refilling and
before water needs to be heated again (the heating element's rating is 1,000
watts maximum, 800 watts minimum).
A glass tube permits water-level monitoring, and a
thermostat triggers a green light when water reaches the correct
crema-producing temperature.
An internal fuse, which can be reset in the base, prevents overheating.
This version of La Pavoni's Europiccola model comes in gleaming chrome and features black plastic accents and a durable black acrylic base that contains fine, light-reflecting flecks, producing a polished-granite effect.
