Domus bar has been a long running and much loved espresso machine from La Pavoni. People love the all-in-one design with coffee grinder and espresso machine in a compact and neat package.
One of the very best Italian home espresso machines with integrated grinder - made from quality components designed to bring cafe quality capabilities to your home. Excellent quality espresso combined with excellent milk steaming ability make this a brilliant option for those wanting a compact home espresso machine with strong performance.
A perennial favorite - Domus Bar has been around for over 20 years - customers who purchase the Domus Bar often come back for a second or third to replace an older model - a testament to its lasting quality and great results.
New features on the upgraded La Pavoni Domus Bar
The latest upgrade of the Domus Bar includes a range of refinements and improvements making it better than ever.
Metal coffee grinder outlet and switch
Grinder outlet chute is now metal to reduce static and clumping of the coffee. The grind activation switch and filter holder support fork are also made from metal.
Wire grills
Both the coffee drip tray and grinder drip tray have wire grills - this makes them dirable and easy to clean.
Soft close steam valve gasket
Teflon steam valve replaces the metal on metal valve - this is more relible and gives a more tactile soft close feeling.
Separate coffee tamper
Gone is the tamper mounted in front of the coffee grinder. If you have had a Domus Bar previously and are looking to replace the machine, you will be familiar with the original tamper which you have to lift the filter holder up toward to tamp the coffee. This has been replaced with a separate plastic tamper.
New La Pavoni emblem
Across the La Pavoni manual and semi-professional range; machines now feature a metal La Pavoni emblem or badge with red enamel negative detail. This new emblem is remeniscent of those found on historic motor vehicles. This brand feature pays homage to the traditional La Pavoni brand logo and the traditional La Pavoni red brand colour.

CRAFT BEAUTIFUL ESPRESSO
Excellent thermal stability
The brew boiler is located directly over the brewing group to maximise temperature stability and ensure water travels the shortest path from boiler to your cup while remaining at the right temperature. Brewing group and boiler are constructed from brass to maximise temperature stability and keep your delicious espresso at the correct temperature.
Chromed brass 57mm filter holder
A proper filter holder constructed from chromed brass helps to maintain a nice stable brew temperature for perfect professional quality espresso. Heavy duty 57mm chromed brass filter holder allows you to extract espresso just like the professionals. La Pavoni Domus Bar filter holder has a double outlet and includes a range of coffee filter baskets to suit your requirements.
Brew extraction pressure gauge
A real asset when searching for the ultimate extraction, the brew extraction pressure gauge tells you under what pressure your espresso is being extracted. If the pressure is too high you can adjust your coffee grind to be more coarse; if the pressure is too low, you can adjust to a finer grind.
3-Way brewing control valve
3-Way solenoid valve is a commercial feature that not only directs the flow of water from the boiler to the brew group, but also relieves the water pressure off the ground coffee once brewing is complete. The valve relieves brewing pressure from the filter holder allowing you to remove the filter holder immediately after brewing is complete - ready to make another espresso.
Powerful 15 bar vibration pump
Industry standard 15 bar vibration pump delivers pressurised water to the brewing system.
Factory calibrated Over Pressure Valve (OPV)
Factory calibrated Over Pressure Valve (OPV) ensures the optimum extraction pressure is achieved for a smooth creamy espresso. Over Pressure Valve regulates the pump pressure by returning excess pressure back to the water tank. Over Pressure Valves help to prevent over extraction of your espresso.
Manual Pre-Infusion
While Domus Bar doesn't have any programmed pre-infusion control. You can pre-infuse the coffee by activating the pump switch for 1-2 seconds, then letting the coffee rest for a few seconds. Do this before beginning to extract your espresso to explore hte possibiulities of pre-infusion. This process delivers a small amount of water into the coffee before the full extraction pressure is applied. This pre-infusion creates are more even distribution of the ground coffee to improve espresso flow.
2 Cup and 1 Cup non pressurised filter baskets
Included are 2 Cup and 1 Cup filter baskets for making espresso in the commercial style where you grind coffee freshly for each cup. This achieves the best quality espresso where the grind consistency, dose, and compression are optimised for perfect espresso.
FRESHLY GROUND COFFEE FOR EVERY CUP
Grind fresh coffee for each cup
Grind just the fight amount of coffee fresh for every brew - simply position the filter holder below the grinder outlet and activate the grinder.
Grind directly to your filter holder
Metal filter holder support positions your filter holder below the griner outlet - press the filter holder against the grind button to activate grinding.
Stepless adjustment for precise control
Stepless grind adjustment allows an infinite number of settings for very precise control over the coffee grind. Grind setting is adjusted by rotating the dial on the side of the machine which slowly rotates the upper burr holder to uncrease or decrease grind size. Each turn of the adjustment dial represents a very small grind adjustment.
38mm hardened steel burrs for long-lasting quality
Domus Bar integrated coffee grinder incorporates 38mm hardened steel conical grinding burrs designed specifically for fine espresso grind. Conical burrs deliver a very consistent grind profile while being very durable.
STEAM MILK LIKE THE PROFESSIONALS
Powerful dry steam
Solid brass boiler delivers a nice powerful supply of steam. La Pavoni Domus Bar has the capacity to steam nice velvety milk for 2 cups before you should refill the boiler. The brass boiler construction combined with a 1000w heating element maintains a powerful steam supply from start to finish. This is what sets this machine apart from cheaper and entry-level single boiler coffee machines.
Fast heat time
1000w heating power and a relatively small 250 mL boiler size means this machine can deliver steam in less than 90 seconds. Once steam mode is engaged the boiler temperature increases to over 125 degrees. When steam is ready the centre lamp will switch off; now the steam valve can be opened, and you can steam your milk.
Single hole steam tip for fine micro-foam
Domis Bar includes a single hole steam tip designed to deliver a nice fine stream of super heated steam. Single hole steam tips are the best for small domestic espresso machines delivering a single strong high-pressure jet of steam to assist with creating that desired micro-foam.
Soft-close professional style steam valve
Teflon steam gasket provides an easy to operate and reliable steam seal.
Pannarello milk frother
Domus Bar includes a pannarello milk frother which fits over the steam arm. This Pannarello features a special design to inject air into the steamed milk making it easy to produce fluffy milk. Pannarello is great for creating super fluffy cappuccino style milk, but you will find this milk is too fluffy for a flat white or cafe latte. For dense micro foam we recommend removing the pannarello and using the excellent single hole steam arm.
GREAT FUNCTION AND EASE OF USE
82 mm cup clearance for latte glasses
82mm clearance between the drip tray and the centre of the filter holder outlet allows you to use two latte glasses at once. The distance between the drip tray and filter-holder outlet is 76mm. Suitable for use with 220mL Duralex cafe latte glasses, 8oz takeaway cups, or 227mL (8oz) regular size KeepCup.
Water level indicator
View the water level quickly and easily. The front face of the machine has a cut-out allowing you to view the water level in the water tank.
Metal toggle switches for ease of use
Three front mounted metal toggle switches provide easy control of the machine function. One switch controls the main power on and off, the second has three positions for coffee, hot-water, and steam functions, with the final switch operating the pump. The metal toggle switches are solid and reliable giving a nice positive feel.
Wide cup warmer
A large cup-warming surface located on the top of the machine holds up to 6 espresso cups or 2 latte/cappuccino cups and keeps them warm.
Large drip tray slides out for easy clean-up
The large drip tray can accommodate a generous amount of spent coffee water and slides out for easy cleaning.
Generous 2.7L water tank
2.7 litre water tank is enough for a large number of coffees, so you won't be filling it up every day.
STYLISH DESIGN WITH QUALITY CONSTRUCTION
Polished stainless steel exterior
Polished stainless steel construction for an attractive, durable, and long-lasting machine.
High quality metal components
Switches, lids, and drip tray grill all manufactured from metal for durable and attractive finish.
Superior finish

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 espresso.
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.
