La Pavoni Professional Lusso High Design
Question about La Pavoni Professional Lusso High Design
I have an important question. When you read on the internet that the optimum pressure for an espresso is 9 bar, can the taste of this machine keep up with, for example, the Quickmill 3000 or Sage Barista Pro? I know that the stated pressure of 12 or 15 bar is only the maximum pressure. But I would like to know if it is worth buying a Sage pro grinder for 230 and using my pavoni or eventually a Sage Barista pro for 600. Then I wouldn't need the grinder separately.

This is a hand lever machine.
The pressure in the boiler is only for filling the brewing chamber. You generate the pressure with which you prepare your espresso by pulling down the lever. With the Pavoni, you will find the optimum force for the espresso with time and practice, and by trying out the grind and filling quantity. (Approximately 30 seconds until the lever is down without grumbling).
A good grinder is highly recommended. Your espresso can be excellent with the Pavoni and can compete with any expensive machine.
Best regards
PS: If you regularly want to make more than 3 coffees at a time, the machine is rather slow, as you have to wait after pressing down the lever until the pressure is gone and you can release the portafilter, and it also tends to overheat in continuous use.
Hey Christof,
Thank you very much for the quick answer.
So far, I only make 2-3 espressos or 2 cappuccini. However, when visitors come, I will probably buy a good barista machine in the long run.
Until then, it will probably be a good grinder. Maybe the sage smart grinder. Or even just a hand grinder. Hario or zassenhaus up to 70 Fr
