Hey everyone. First time posting here, but long time reader, I love this forum.
I am creating this topic because I would like to have a talk about the conti lever group, so hopefully a lucky owner of a conti lever machine will be able to answer my questions. I apologise if some...
Anyone know how much difference there is between the lever and pump models of the La Pavoni Eurobar?
Phrased differently, how absurd of a project would it be to convert a model with a pump into a lever machine?
From the photos I've seen, it looks like they share a lot of parts...
My fourth Export and this one will stay.
What a machine.
Superfast ready to make a shot.Probably less than 10 minutes.Amazing quality of espresso.Very good steamer.Small footprint!
No double shots though.
Met up with Ross last week here in CO and got a chance to pull a couple shots with one of his units. He mentioned after CNY concludes he should be able to get enough parts shipped over to build up a few machines for sending out to reviewers. Having had an opportunity to meet...

After the base to my Europiccola corroded badly, I'm replacing it with a Stradivari base. I've also bought various other new parts, including a heating element and boiler gaskets. Having assembled it, as soon as I add water, it leaks very badly at the seal between the boiler and...
One of the machines from my recent lot purchase, this is my first La Cimbali machine. What I find particular about the Cimbali Eleva is how small and light the machine is. I can easily move it myself with no issues, and I estimate the whole machine weighs maybe 20-25kg max....
