In the age of super automatic machine where every aspect is electronically controlled and making an espresso is as simple as pushing one button, a La Pavoni lever machine brings the user back into control. Learning to prepare an excellent espresso on a La Pavoni takes some work and practice but when it finally happens not only is the espresso excellent but there is a feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction that cannot be replicated using an electronically controlled machine. Preparing a good cup on the La Pavoni is in many’s way similar to the Japanese tea ceremony; attention to every detail, the calm and quiet of the process, the pride in doing it right, and the joy of achieving an excellent cup. If you just want a quick, no mess, decent espresso an automatic or super automatic machine is fine, but if you want a hands on experience a La Pavoni is the way to go.
Messes up our day everyday!
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.
Everything has been smooth!! It does sometimes come out different amounts when it’s preset so that’s odd but not a big deal!
The machine is very complex and took some getting used to, but it makes some really good coffee. I have had some of the clips fall off on both sides of the machine. I have put them back on and they keep falling off. The machine seems pretty sturdy except when I lift the handle up, that might be from the washers that have fallen off. I think it's a good machine, but this is my first expensive espresso machine I've invested in, so I didn't know what to expect, especially with the lever.
After zeroing in my Eureka Mignon Zero 55s grinder it is the perfect grinder for our espresso.
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!
The best begins here with the expert and good people at Majesty Coffee
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
Highly recommended
Good communication from company throughout the delivery process, product arrived undamaged and seems to be working well so far!
Super easy to use as a first time buyer for a grinder and love the programmability of it.
It’s a cool gadget, don’t get me wrong, but at almost $500 for a device that just spins around it is very, VERY overpriced. You’re better off using that money to buy a manual or even semi-manual WDT tool and using the savings to putting it toward a better grinder or espresso machine.
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???
We LOVE the coffee maker! Best coffee we have had in a long time! Worth every penny!
Mix feelings at the moment
I appreciate the prompt delivery, I thought the was the 110v, but I guess I got the 120v making me do some adjustments to my set up. I haven’t test it yet waiting on a couple of parts for it, also left an email about the water hose supply was crush on from factory, left a message as text also about the issue, no one has reached out to suggest a possible replacement, hopefully with this review you guys can use the credit and sen me a replacement braided hose. Thank you!
Very nice to work with.
Easy order. Had the item in a few days
The machine is quick for the small restaurant/ cafe set up which coffee is not the main beverage to serve, but water tank capacity considers small and the setting only allows you to do one portion at a time, you need to press again for double.
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.
Grinds super fast and uniform. 18g in 4 seconds with zero clumps. When the scale works, it’s awesome with a very quick workflow. This is a huge upgrade from my old electronic Mini Mazzer. I had a problem with the grinder dispensing between 16g and 20g when I had a 18g setting set. Majesty has sent a replacement and I expect the new grinder to function correctly. I’ll knock off 1 star for getting a bad unit.
Love the machine! And majesty coffee was very helpful.
Easy purchase and quick shipping
I couldn’t wait to get the grinder and I LOVE it!! I will say the hardest part is dialing and figuring out how to grind fine espresso, that part took a while but once you get it down it’s amazing.
