Description

The La Pavoni PC-16 Professional Espresso Machine blends timeless Italian design with expert-level performance, making it the ideal centerpiece for home baristas and espresso purists. This lever-operated model offers precise control over every step of the brewing process, giving you the ability to pull espresso shots that rival your favorite café. With its polished chrome finish and sleek black accents, the PC-16 is as much a statement piece as it is a precision tool. Inside, a solid 38-ounce nickel- plated brass boiler maintains steady brewing temperatures and minimizes limescale buildup, allowing you to brew up to 16 shots per fill. Using the manual lever system, you can brew 1 or 2 shots at a time-perfect for single servings or sharing. To ensure a rich, bold flavor and avoid dilution, the portafilter should be reloaded with fresh coffee grounds for each brewing cycle, whether you're making a single or double shot. Frothing milk is just as versatile. Use the traditional steam wand for hands-on milk texturing or opt for the Automatic Cappuccino Maker for easy, consistent foam. The integrated pressure gauge offers real-time brewing insights, helping you dial in each shot with precision. Built with food-safe stainless steel heating elements and handcrafted with attention to detail in Italy, the La Pavoni PC-16 is designed to deliver exceptional espresso for years to come. Note: Units may arrive with slight moisture or markings from the factory's quality assurance testing process-this is normal and ensures full functionality. Perhaps it's not surprising that an Italian company such as La Pavoni takes its espresso and cappuccino very seriously. The detailed manual and video that come with this professional-style machine spare no small detail while guiding you through the espresso and cappuccino process. With proper equipment, La Pavoni argues, including very fine grounds and a state-of-the art machine, an espresso or cappuccino can be a work of art. Because cafe prices are rising and an improperly made espresso is indistinguishable from mud, it's worth investing the time and equipment required for a rich and truly satisfying espresso experience. For me, one thing that separates a barista-style cappuccino from many homemade efforts is the quality of the foam. The Europiccola produces foam with just right amount of frothiness, although the foam can also be controlled if you prefer less enthusiastic frothing. For top- quality cappuccinos, the machine should be descaled four or five times a year (descaling instructions are included). Made of gleaming chrome, this strikingly attractive machine should not be cleaned with abrasives. --Laura CuthbertEditor's note: This item may arrive with water inside from the manufacturer's pressure test. This is a normal occurrence and doesn't point to a problem with the machine.

    • Beautiful Italian product design but somewhat difficult to make a good crema
Well, it’s undoubtedly a gorgeous piece of Italian high art product design, but does require a steep learning curve. After 2 cups a day for two weeks, I can make a pretty tasty brew, but so far, the crema is meager at best. I’ve seen videos showing great crema on this machine, so I’ll keep trying till I get it right. Two months later: I found that the strainer cup from my old Breville machine fits the La Pavoni and makes an incredible crema, typically more than 1 cm thick. The La Pavoni cup has hundreds of holes while the Breville has just one. This creates a high back pressure which streams out the very robust crema and you can use a somewhat courser grind as all the back pressure comes from the strainer cup and not the coffee grind. My recommendation: get the Breville strainer and use it on your La Pavoni machine - the espresso is devine! ... show more

    • I like the manual work
Edit: Two and a half years and still going strong making the best espresso of my day. Joy of my day. I not only enjoy the espresso it makes, but also admire its simplicity and elegance. After five months of heavy use it still works like a charm and looks good as new. I have a thing for the simpler espresso makers. I am currently using a MyPressi at work, and Presso as a backup at home. La Pavoni is the holy grail for me. Not only does it make great espresso, it also heats up pretty fast and can quickly make many servings when you have guests. Granted, once in a while, when I try a different type of beans, I might not get things quite right at first time. However, if a pull doesn't come right for a new batch of beans, that is not a source of frustration but the start of a curious experiment with the grind size, tamp, and timing. Even that takes at most two tries, and I get consistently great espresso afterwards. I like kicking horse beans, and lavazza pienaroma from amazon's selection. My local coffee shops have great beans too. We have a champion espresso maker nearby and espresso from the beans from his shop are to die for. If you are into espresso, definitely try your local coffee shops for beans, you'll appreciate your espresso machine and the local shops more. ... show more

    • 5-stars but for a poor frother
This Pavoni makes excellent espresso. There are a few tricks that allow consistently excellent shots. Leave room at top of Porto filter: about 3/8 inch. A mid fill tamp Is a good idea. Then replace the nozzle provided with a single hole brass nozzle. With this installation the machine is perfect. It is regrettable the machine is not equipped with an appropriate frother given the cost of the Pavoni. ... show more

    • Not an automatic
What a beautiful machine. You're in full control here, and that means that there's going to be a learning curve, which may frustrate some while bringing joy to others. When you finally start getting things right, the espresso can at times be life changing, but such can also have a tendency to come and go until you master your technique completely. The machine is very well built, designed to last a long time and is easily serviced. There's many stories of these machines working well 30+ years with nothing more than basic care and maintenance. It is not well suited out of the box for leaving on for long times, nor pulling many back to back shots. The group head temp can overheat when trying to do so, which can wildly impact extraction (there's mods to help with this if you need them). It has a relatively small portafilter so I typically run a 15 gram dose and target a 2:1 extraction, but you can get the normal 18 gram dose to work by adjusting your pre-infusion technique. There's aftermarket shower heads, naked portafilters, options for measuring and profiling extraction pressure, ways to monitor group head temp, and PID controller mods, all of which will add to cost, but if you want to tech things out you can, and such may help with the learning curve starting out. When you consider the cost over the years the machine will last, it's very cost effective and it can reward you with skills, flexibility and an experience you're not going to get with an auto or super auto machine. ... show more

    • Great espresso
I have now owned my La Pavoni PC-16 for a bit over two years. I researced this machine heavily before deciding to purchase it. I was well aware that it would take lots of practice and time to perfect. Getting the right grind was every bit as challenging as learning to operate the machine itself. However, once I did, I have not been disappointed. I was aware from previous reviews that this machine was more geared towards great espresso and not so much towards steaming the milk. And that is exactly what I have come to learn. I primarily drink espresso and that is why I prefer this machine. It is true that steaming the milk is very inconsistent. For the most part though I have been very satisfied. So far for me, the parts have held up relatively well. I do wish the machine were a bit heavier and not so prone to tipping over or forward. I have not noticed any rust issues. Everything seems to be in fine working order. The espresso continues to not disappoint. I have been exceptionally happy with my purchase and I feel that my research prior to purchasing paid off. ... show more

    • Leaks, leaks, and leaks! Don't buy it!

After about four years the bottom part started leaking and was told I need replacement parts and threw away the machine. This very expensive machine is advertised as a symbol of good technology and Italian tradition, but it is not! It is like any other espresso/cappuccino machine that leak after a few years and it becomes just a mess. In my opinion, the basic design is flawed, because there is a metal plate at the bottom with a gasket. As the rubber gasket wears out overtime, the bottom starts leaking (see images); not to mention the other leaks by the gauge. As a replacement, I just bought a Beelman stove steamer that is supposed to last 20 years without all the bells and whistles of La Pavoni, but for sure that does not have all the leaks of La Pavoni! ... show more
