Review on Chrome La Pavoni EPC-8 Europiccola 8-Cup Lever Style Espresso Machine by Kevin Bucher

The modern Breville electric pump he was about to replace continues to give superior results. 5 hours of various grinding, pounding, temp etc and came to the conclusion that this is not art but old fashioned development for beginners. I'll be back in my Breville in the morning. Not all expensive upgrades work well. This was one of them, although I made a decent espresso before giving up and declaring it an old-fashioned hood ornament.
