Cheap La Pavoni

[quink]

Hi Quink

did you ever get the Pavoni from Italy-outlet?

No, not had the spare cash lying around for any major spending yet . It will probably be the next thing on my list of things to get though. Glad to see that they're not totally fly by night company.

A late reply, but I bought my Pavoni JDL grinder from BestOfItaly.it and when it was broken in shipping (base cracked and doser broken where it joins the grinder) they sent out a replacement the day I called them, without picking up the broken grinder. So I have a working JDL and a full set of spare parts

I later bought the Pavoni base from them as well and had no problems. I'm not sure if the name change was an ownership change though so I would be a tiny bit wary, but I would definatly deal with them again.

These lever-style machine suck royally.
You warm them up, wait for the sweet spot before they overheat and then pull a shot or two.
Let it cool down, warm up again and proceed, etc.
Nice to look at in a yuppie-household but makes you cry for nescafe
