Great Grinder & Great Support

Got the grinder dialed in, I was originally sent the massive cafe hopper. I pointed this out to Majesty and they took care of the rest. Now my Mini G fits under my cabinets and blends so well with my coffee station.

Great!

Everything has been smooth!! It does sometimes come out different amounts when it’s preset so that’s odd but not a big deal!

Emma Gumont
Great compliment to my Quick Mill Silvano Evo

After zeroing in my Eureka Mignon Zero 55s grinder it is the perfect grinder for our espresso.

Quick Mill Silvano Evo

From my original contact, Tony, at Majesty took excellent care of me. He helped me make my final decision on the Quick Mill Silvano Evo and on a grinder to go along with it, the Eureka Mignon Zero 55s. I received my order quickly and with everything as promised. Thank you to everyone at Majesty!

I am exceptionally happy with the LaPavoni Special edition it has the bells and whistles that I was looking for . . . And it made a superb shot right out of the box

Best grinder ever

Super easy to use as a first time buyer for a grinder and love the programmability of it.

La Pavoni per sempre(forever)

Bought my only La Pavoni in the early 1980's when my employer transferred me to Brussels. After many years the sheet metal base rusted. I fabricated a new base with aluminum profiles and a few bolts. Then the backlight switch failed and I replaced it with two switches and two indicating lights. Thank you Radio Shack. Everything still works. I would like to add a pressure gage now that I have lots of spare time. Any hints???

Wonderful Machine:

It was installed on Friday May 8. This machine is amazing. We are still make adjustments but we are so happy with it. We have an older model next to our new machine and they are both being used and we love them. The Instalation was so good. We are very pleased.
