The Europiccola espresso machine by La Pavoni has a chrome base and is triple plated to maintain its beauty and elegance. By lifting the lever, a piston inside the group is raised allowing water under pressure to infuse the coffee in...

My Gaggia Syncrony digital has not been used for quite a while. When I turned it on with no water or coffee the display lighted and there were a line of black squares but no words and none of the buttons did anything. Is this the normal reaction with no water or coffee? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Peter

mjackson ♦ Peter,
It sounds as though your display is going and it may need to be replaced. I am not sure if it could be more. You will need to call our technical support line and see what they can help you diagnose what may be the cause of your problems. It is hard to say and they will be able to help.
I have this espresso machine and love it. However, it needs some maintenance after using it for seven or so years. Is there a refurbishing facility that could return the machine to its former glory? Also, is there a version of the machine that is not plastic?? That would solve some of the issues.
Thanks for being all things coffee.

mjackson ♦ Dodie,
It is a very good machien and I am glad it has served you so well. There is just the one version of the machine. You can call this number for the importer of La Pavoni they can be reached at 1-800-927-0277. They will be able to help you get your machine back in great shape. I hope this helps and thanks for asking.
I bought this unit with expectations that with its price and Italian origin it would last nearly a lifetime. It was nice while it lasted but unfortunately a rock got caught in the works. The interior parts are made of plastic, and replacement parts are no longer available. I am now the proud...

bought my first Pavoni from the factory in Milan in 1973 for $100. and used it daily. It was retired to the basement when It needed gaskets that were not available. Then I bought another one from someone who didn't know how to use it for $125. I bought a Creamina 65 for about $650 and still use it...

I am shopping for a home machine. Is the Pavoni Lusso the best for the price? Is the Gaggia?
Thanks

mjackson ♦ George,
This is a good machine. Many people are very loyal to the La Pavoni machines. It is a tough question to answer. I Love the Gaggia machines and in my opinion for the price they cant be beat.
I've had the La Pavoni Si for at least 3 years. I run it twice a day. In that time, I've never had to descale it, since I always use filtered water to remove any lime before adding the water to the tank. I do clean out the water tank occasionally. If I leave a little water in the tank before...

I am looking for the best machine that can make espresso and then steam milk for cappucino immediately. I would like to spend $700-800. Which one is recommended?

MikeR No machine in the $700-800 range can do it immediately. There are a couple that can do it close to that though. Check out the Gaggia Baby Twin and Pasquini Livietta. Both of these machines have dual thermoblock boilers, allowing for rapid steam. This will get you to steam temp in about 10 seconds compared to 35 to 40 or so on most single boiler machines in that price range. The Gaggia is on sale at $599 and the Pasquini at $790 currently.
Bought my predecessor to the EPC8 in 1976 for $75. Started to throw it out about 15 years ago but saw that what a new one cost. Changed the gaskets and it worked like new. Has a steep learning curve, tempermental about grind and tamp, but when you get it right, it is wonderful.

I have a capresso 1300 that allows me to set the number of ounces of coffee I want it to produce. Does this machine have the same capability?

TechMilanoItalia No, this is a semi-automatic machine without a dosing feature, so you have to start and stop the brew cycle by actuating the brew switch.
