La Pavoni Europiccola

The Europiccola is a fully manual lever machine, meaning it requires a learning curve to master grind size, tamping pressure, and lever technique. It is best suited for enthusiasts who enjoy the hands-on process of crafting espresso rather than those looking for a push-button experience.

The 20-ounce boiler capacity allows you to pull approximately eight standard espresso shots. It is designed for making one or two servings at a time, making it ideal for individual use or small households.

No, this model is specifically adapted for the North American market and operates on standard 110V power. You can plug it directly into a standard household outlet.

The manual steam wand provides full control over your milk texturing, allowing you to create microfoam for lattes and cappuccinos. Because it is a single-boiler machine, you will need to wait a moment for the boiler to reach steaming temperature after pulling your espresso shot.

To keep the polished chrome looking its best, wipe the exterior down with a soft, damp cloth after use to prevent water spots and coffee oils from building up. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, which can scratch the finish.

While you can use pre-ground coffee, a high-quality burr grinder is highly recommended. The Europiccola is sensitive to grind consistency, and adjusting your grind size is the primary way to dial in the perfect extraction pressure.
