Suitability
Home espresso coffee making
Amazing quality espresso coffee
Lever brewing group for maximum control
Brewing of your espresso coffee is controlled by the pressure or force applied to the lever. Want more pressure, press harder; want a slower extraction, lower the lever a little slower. Lever extraction gives you great control over the rate and pressure of extraction allowing you to produce amazing amounts of tasty crema. A truly rewarding experience.
Excellent thermal stability
Solid brass brewing group, filter holder, and brew piston delivers thermal stability to make sure your espresso extracts at the right temperature.
Chromed brass 51mm filter holder for thermal stability
Filter holder is constructed from brass, just like a commercial espresso machine, to retain heat and maximise thermal stability. Brass helps to maximise and retain the quality of espresso by maintaining adequate heat within the filter holder, where the coffee extraction or brewing occurs.
Uniform extraction from piston brewing system
Unlike a pump driven espresso machine, the La Pavoni lever system uses a piston to press water through the ground coffee puck to extract or brew espresso. The brew piston is raised or lowered within the brewing group using the the lever.
Raising the lever to the top position lifts the piston to the top of the brewing group unblocking an inlet port and allowing hot brew water to fill the bewing group. Lowering the lever presses the "cylinder" of water through the puck of compressed ground coffee beans.
Brew pressure is very consistent across the diameter of the coffee puck resulting in a more even exploitation of the coffee compared to other brewing systems.
Preinfusion
Coffee preinfusion is the process of gently soaking the ground coffee puck with a small amount of water at low pressure prior brewing espresso. Preinfusion allows the ground coffee particles to absorb water, expand, and fill in an inconsistencies in the ground coffee puck; this helps to make extraction more even and improve the overall extraction.
Lifting the lever allows water to fill the brewing system, saturating the ground coffee beans and beginning the preinfusion process; hold the lever up for as long as you desire preinfusion to continue.
After the desired preinfusion time, lower the lever to begin brewing, brew pressure ramps until espresso begins to flow and the true espresso extraction begins.
Progressive infusion
As the lever is lowered brew pressure progressively increases until it overwhelms the compressed coffee cake and espresso begins to flow. Unlike pump driven espresso machines that go from 0% to 100% pressure very quickly, your La Pavoni lever machine slowly and gently builds extraction pressure for a smooth coffee extraction with optimal aroma, body, and crema.
Expert design from the experts in espresso
Hand assembled in Italy by La Pavoni, true pioneers of the espresso machine industry. Since 1905 La Pavoni have been designing and producing truly great espresso machines.

Water level indicator
View the water level quickly and easily. Left-hand side of the machine has a water level gauge allowing you to view the water level in the boiler.
Simple operation - just one switch
One switch turns the machine on and off. Once the machine is to pressure you control espresso brewing by raising a lowering the lever and steam operation by rotating the steam tap.
Generous 1.6L boiler
The boiler is the water supply on a La Pavoni lever machine. 1.6L boiler is good for making about 16 coffees - for a normal household this is good for a couple of days use. To refill the boiler - switch the machine off, purge the boiler pressure, open the boiler cap, and refill the boiler with water.
Easy to clean drip tray

About LA PAVONI
La Pavoni was founded in a little workshop at Via Parini, Milan, Italy in 1905 by Desiderio Pavoni. The concepts behind the first La Pavoni were patented in 1902 by Luigi Bezzera and registered at the Milan State office in 1903 - Mr Desiderio Pavoni purchased these patents and began to develop the La Pavoni "Ideale" in 1905. La Pavoni Ideale was the first modern espresso coffee machine on the market - it incorporated many new and unique features that have remained features of espresso coffee machines over 100 years later - filter holders used to contain ground coffee, a heated boiler kept at constant pressure by gas or electricity, and pressurised water forced through the coffee to brew or extract espress
The real revolution of this first La Pavoni espresso coffee machine was speed - espresso literally translates as "expressed" - this new coffee machine reduced preparation time from a few minutes to one minute. The La Pavoni Ideale coffee machine, which made continuous shots of coffee (so called ‘espresso’), was instrumental in spreading the fashion for drinking Italian style espresso coffee at the bar to the world.
In 1961 again La Pavoni achieved a first with the release of the Europiccola - the first electrical espresso coffee machine for household use. The Europiccola allowed you to brew espresso and steam milk at home. In 1977 this concept was developed into the Europiccola Professional with an enlarged 1.6 L boiler and pressure gauge. Over 50 years later the Europiccola is still in production - a testament to the quality of that original design.
Over 100 years since its beginning La Pavoni continues to develop and produce espresso coffee machines for the commercial and household markets. As one of the original espresso machine manufacturers La Pavoni is characterised by traditional craftsmanship - quality materials, timeless design, hand assembly, and Italian quality.
