Hey thanks! I managed for Starbucks for quite a while and for our 15th year anniversary we get one of these!(customized with the company logo, of course). I received it 2 years ago and finally I took it out of the box when I realized that I had not used a manual machine in years! After splattering grinds on my wall, counter and face, I think I finally might pull a good shot! Your video was really helpful and informative! Thanks
1.I could make a knock box out of an old Motorcycle or car piston. 2.Don’t use hot water from the tap. It’s fine if your taking a hot shower and not drinking it. Calcium & impurieties develop in hot water heater. Go with the cold water let the machine do it’s thing. La Pavoni’s are faster than most expresso makers. Go with purified drinking water. This guys guest fell asleep waiting for their shot of expresso. Been drinking and making it since I was 6-7 y/o. I’m Cuban! I’m in my 40′s now.
I was also in the Service stationed in Naples/Rome and Andalucia, Spain I am very familiar with the Cafe’s in Italy and in Spain. They drink the same stuff.((Expresso)) Un Cortadito, Capuccino, Latte, Carajillo (also with liquor in Spain like Conac), Machiato, Cafe Correcto!(with Sambuca) Commercial Machine I saw the most were Faema and Delonghi
Ciao bambino! That’s all folks! lol…..
is it possible to install a steam pressure guage onto a La Pavoni lever machine that comes without one?
Hi yes you can.
I have a Europiccolla 70s model that has a presure gauge, which was put on by my husband about 10 years ago.
My machine is still working well and is 32 years old.
The preasure gauge is not really needed on a Europiccola. How old is your machine?
The video is great except the coffee is either a bit too fine or too much coffee in the porta filter. Also over tampering is not required if the grind is correct.
This is why the coffee comes out just a little too slow when the lever is lifted.
You should use a measuring spoon to get a more accurate dossage as guessing with this grinder is hit and miss and not guarranteed success every time.
I reccoemnd the La Pavoni JL Jolly grinder.
It is the perfect partner for this machine.
Hi there! We do have a pretty similiar approach trying to make the Pavoni spit out some drinkabIe liquid! I have the mahogany LussoLegno-model with the right hand side steam nozzle. I don’t know if you have that on yours but this is how I do it: Put in portafilter, let heat up machine for about 20 mins. Pour water in cup, boil it using steam nozzle, grind coffee, put in filter, tamp, put everything in place, pull lever, leave for 15 (!) secs, lay hand upon, gently pull down (takes app. 10 secs!)
PLEEEEEEASE! -I’m glad you are not making a coffee for me..I’d be over it before I got it!
this is a good video of making a good shot of espresso, MsJendi should probably just stick to instant
I didn’t say it wouldn’t TASTE good….but in terms of being interesting to watch as an instructional/informational video…damn it is painfully slow…and for your information I’d rather drink dishwater than instant coffee – I have a pavoni myself and whilst I don’t profess myself to be an expert at making them (like many other wankers seem to do), I make a pretty good one…so thankyou…
the centrifugal force elongates the coffee
So i just got a post 1999 pavoni, is urs post or pre 1999? how do you get your portafilter to let you spin your basket while grinding the coffee? my basket is in the portafilter pretty tight, Also how big is your basket/tamper? I read everywhere that 51mm is the tamper size for it, but i ordered one off of espressoparts NW as well and it doesnt fit its too big. it doesn’t even go in less then half a centimeter before it gets stuck
Je t’ai langui et je suis sure que tu es expert pour faire du bon cafe apres avoir vu toutes ces videos !
Je t’aime,
Maman.
ten minutes to make an espresso. there’s a reason why it’s called espresso!
@comac1983 exxactly
Your tamper shouldn’t go down further than half way. You don’t want it to go all the way down – what would be the point in that? You do plan on putting coffee in it don’t you? You should be putting 14g of coffee in the double basket, or more, and lightly tamping about 5mm to 9mm below the ridge. If you want I can put up a video showing this? Send me a message.
i didnt say it goes half way, i said less than 5 mm, which is probably just less than an 8th of the way down. anyways i have a friend who has a lathe who was able to very finely trim the sides of the tamper and make it fit just right
thats funny, but hey it takes time cus he’sexplaning I s’pose. I have the same machine and it takes just 5 minutes to heat the thing up!
hej, ar du svensk?
mm, det stammer!
You’re off your trolly, which is a good place to start, I was given a pavoni yesterday.
Half way through your video, I went down and made a coffee, it sure tastes great, a bit to strong if anything, Lavazza, if I come back bonkers in a bit you know I overtoast. How much does the machine cost?
I’ve just done what you do, two quick pulls, two spoons of sugar and then,wait, UHT cream from a can, eat it with a soup spoon, ah man it like ducking drinking dynamite, I realise now that I am out of my mind, but it’s a kind mind, only the coffee died, but it allowed me to live a few minjits longer.
Get a girlfriend.
leave it to some southern redneck to take a 2-3 minute process of making an espresso and into a 10 minute video of “um” “well” “now…a”.
we’re not splitting a ffin atom here tex, its called making an epsresso.
