La Pavoni Professional espresso machine for sale
£SOLD inc. handmade tamper from madebyknock
Excellent condition, chrome La Pavoni Professional (pre-millenium edition) with pressure gauge with steam wand.
One of the last models to feature the brass piston, for those that are interested in these things, so to many this will be better than buying a new one. The new, ‘post-millenium’ models replaced the brass with cost-saving plastic parts, to the chagrin of coffee snobs everywhere, and people are taking these models and paying for brass pistons to put back into them. Something to do with heat retention, but this already has it so you needn’t bother. More info here. http://www.lapavoni.it/model.asp?id=22. New version, RRP £689, although i have seen them go for around £550.
Used max. 20 times so it’s in excellent condition and it’s designed to last a lifetime. It’s been in a cupboard at my mums for most of its years. Never really found the time to get the hang of it. It needs a bit of practice to get the best results but, as with all good things in life, a bit of searching around the internet will surely give you the pleasure you deserve. I never quite reached that point, hence the sale here today.
Includes brand new Knock tamper in English Walnut wood, worth 25 quid (for 49mm basket size) and all the original accessories including portafilter, double basket and milk frothing device. It’s never been descaled and there’s hardly any scale, so that tells you something positive I hope.
Collection from Walton on Thames, 23mins from London Waterloo on the train. If you buy it I'll knock a tenner off to cover your ticket.
