La Pavoni Professional

La Pavoni Professional

The lever machine that has defined home espresso since 1961 — and the only machine on this page that steams milk. The La Pavoni Professional pairs a chrome-plated brass boiler (1.6 L, enough for up to sixteen double shots) with a fully manual lever group: raise the lever, let the chamber fill, and pull the shot at whatever pressure your arm decides. A steam wand handles cappuccinos and lattes. It’s built from metal, made in Italy, and designed to be serviced rather than replaced — owners keep these for decades.
