My boiler is loose on my La Pavoni EPC-8. What's the best way/what do I need to do to tighten it? Any special tools required?

A A Maram,
The difference between the EPC-8 and 16 is the amount of water that they will hold. The EPC-8 will hold enough for 8 shots, while the 16 will hold enough for 16 shots.

mjackson ♦ It is a great machine that does require some manual effort but dies make great shots. It comes with a portafilter, single and double baskets, a plastic tamper, a coffee scoop. , and a auto froth attachment. You may want to get a better tamper it is 51 mm tamper. I hope this helps and make sure you get a decent grinder as well.

can the la pavoni epc 8 use pods as well as the metal filter included? Which other machines in the 500 to 700 dollar range can use both
Thanks Vin

Michael Rosso ♦ Vincent, unfortunately the EPC 8 is not able to use pods. There are many machines in the 500-700 range that allow for both pods and grounds. The Gaggia baby twin allows for both pods and ground coffee. The twin also is programmable and has pre-infusion as well as some other great qualities. Most of the Gaggia semi-automatic machines allow for both ground coffee and pods. Another alternative that allows for both ground and pods is the Rancilio Silvia. The Silvia has been around a long time and has many great reviews. To use pods with the Silvia you would need to purchase the pod adaptor kit. Don’t hesitate to call us with any other questions about specific models or if you just need more recommendations. Happy brewing!
I have a La Pavoni EPC-8 which looks identical to the one pictured, including the plastic tray and grill, but it has a two level pwoer switch under the main switch insteaed of a green light. How can I learn when it was produced?
Thank you very much.

WholeLatteLoveRep1 Unfortunately there is not a known way to use pods with the La Pavoni EPC-8. You can always attempt to use your single filter basket to see what kind of result you get with it, but it's probably not going to create the nice tight seal that you would need to give you a proper brew.
How is the filter basket held in the portafilter when knocking out the coffee grounds?

There is a little clip in the portafilter that holds it in place. It looks like a bent paperclip. It presses on a groove in the filter basket hard enough so that normal knocking keeps the basket in place. Removing the basket requires that you pry it off - I like to use a butter knife when my wife isn't looking
I have a La Pavoni lever machine and I want to buy one of your tampers. Can you tell me the diameter of the portafilter?
Thanks.

Whole Latte Love Staff La Pavoni manual machines require a 51mm tamper, which is available through our website. I have added a link to our tampers page below.
techkathy Unfortunately we are not a La Pavoni certified service center. I would recommend contacting La Pavoni USA at 1-800-927-0277. They should be able to provide you with some guidance in tightening up the boiler.
