La Pavoni machines are handcrafted in Italy and built around the art of manual espresso. Unlike fully automatic machines, lever models give you complete control over pressure, extraction, and flavour—turning coffee making into a daily ritual rather than a push-button task.
There is a learning curve, but that’s part of the experience. With a bit of practice, users quickly develop a feel for grind size, pressure, and timing. Many owners find the process deeply rewarding and far more engaging than automatic machines.
Yes—freshly ground coffee is essential for quality espresso. We recommend pairing your machine with a dedicated grinder to ensure consistency and full flavour extraction.
With proper care, La Pavoni machines can last decades. Many units from the 1960s and 70s are still in use today. They are built with durable materials and designed to be serviceable over time.
Regular maintenance includes:
Cleaning the group head and portafilter.
Backflushing (for applicable models).
Descaling depending on water quality.
Replacing seals periodically.
This ensures optimal performance and longevity.
