Product Details
La Pavoni created the first espresso machine for home use, and their expertise remains unparalleled. The Expo 2015 builds on their iconic modern design, and the inner mechanisms have remained virtually unchanged for decades—because it simply works so well, pulling divine shots of espresso every time. The word ‘pull’ is literal here: The lever mechanism provides the pressure needed to extract coffee, and how you pull—as well as the size, dose and freshness of the coffee grounds—are variables you can calibrate to make espresso to your taste. The process is simple: Turn the machine on, prepare coffee in the portafilter, attach, lift, and pull down. But it takes some practice to get right, which is why we put together this comprehensive guide. It’s 100% worth the effort, because this machine lasts forever.
This Expo 2015 comes with wooden handles that stay cool as the machine heats, a drip tray with a metal cover, as well as a sight glass that lets you keep an eye on the amount of water in the tank, so you know when to refill it. A pressure gauge over the tank lets you know when it’s time to start brewing, and a steam wand lets you release ‘false’ pressure and foam milk. Includes:
- Wood-handled portafilter
- Single, double dose, and extra-large 'composition' filter baskets (interchangeable in the portafilter)
- A bottomless 'fascino' filter that provides extra-thick crema and allows you to diagnose how evenly you tamped the grounds
- Coffee scoop
- Tamper
- Additional steam wand for cappuccino attachment
Why we love it
'La Pavoni lever machines are what baristas use at home. Some call it the “weekend espresso” machine. Once you get the hang of it, it’s a joy to use (on weekends and weekdays), because it gives you total control over the extraction process, so you can taste all those complex flavours with great clarity. It’s a vehicle for both creativity and relaxation, which turns out perfect espresso or espresso-based drinks, entirely on your own terms.'
