Review on Chrome La Pavoni EPC-8 Europiccola 8-Cup Lever Style Espresso Machine by Emmanuel Pictorial

The finish on this La Pavoni is not as nice as the one I have owned for 5 years. My first La Pavoni was bought used (from Craigslist, who knows how many times it has been used and abused) and has been working flawlessly for the past 5 years. I've had it for 4 months and there are signs of degradation in the chrome finish and the sight glass plastic protection has melted a bit. These issues never affected my previous La Pavoni and I am very disappointed. I will try to see if the warranty can protect my purchase. Eventually I'll add photos. SO SURPRISED AND SO SAD. I always thought I would be a La Pavoni loyalist for the rest of my life. 😭😩
