Summary: quit heating water after less than 6 months
Comment: Ihad written a previous review...I absolutely loved this machine....but I would think for a price of almost 700 dollars I would get more than 6 months use. After less than 6 months it has quit heating water.....So what do I do with a big shinny anchor in my kitchen that takes up space, cost $700.00 and don't make espresso....

Summary: Great machine
Comment: I've had this machine, using it at least twice a day, since 2005. It has been amazingly reliable, makes great espresso (as dark and thick as i prefer) and has not given me a single problem, barring the predictable wearing out of the group gasket. I just had it replaced (there's only one la pavoni authorized repair in LA! Fortunately they were very quick and dependable. I love the way it looks and has served me well for 5 years. I am so excited to have gambled on a machine that was well made and reasonably priced.

Summary: Great Looks, Lousy Performance
Comment: I would have awarded only one star, but since the machine looks so nice, I give it two. Beyond the looks, the performance of the espresso machine is poor where it really counts, and that is the delivery of espresso. The pump system definitely has prostate problems, and is very weak, failing to deliver a 20 second shot of espresso or ANY crema. There is no solenoid switch either, so one is left with a pool of water over a slurry of spent coffee grinds. This occurs no matter the fineness of the grind. One must also wait to remove the group head so that pressure is relieved, or you can risk removing it very SLOWLY to allow built up pressure to bleed out. On numerous occasions, the pump was unable to force water through a normally tamped portion of coffee, perhaps only a tiny dribble came out. While the unit is attractive, and some parts have excellent build quality, there are few areas that need improvement. The buttons are chrome plated plastic. The trays are constructed from poor quality plastic, the injection molding process seems to have caused slight warping (except for the metal drain screens, which are okay). The burr grinder performed well, but adjusting the fine-coarse setting is a bit of a guessing game. Another thing that irritated me was that the photo showed nice euro-style icon labels for the functions of the three control buttons, but for some unknown reason La Pavoni decided to dumb it down to just words (power, steam, coffee) -- which looks completely foolish to me.
This machine is not worth $600!
I returned it after only one day of use, and now I am going to buy the Rancilio Silvia, which I hope is far superior.

Summary: Looks 10, coffee 4
Comment: I first saw this machine in a shop window it Italy and I fell in love. When I found I could buy it here I was thrilled. But honestly, the performance has been a bit underwhelming. It is truly handsome but there is a steep learning curve, and at the end of the day it really only makes a pretty good cup at best...and that's on a good day. Forget a nice thick crema. If practice makes it any more perfect, I'll update this review later on.
