The Best

It took a few tries to get it right with this machine. However, it gets it right! I had an early model, about 20 years old, and it just wore out. This one does an excellent job. The frother works great and gives me great frothed milk every time. I found that I had to warm the milk slightly in the microwave before frothing or it was too cold and cooled down the coffee. It is also important to grind your coffee very finely and tamp it well. When you do both, the cappuccino is as good as any you will buy out.
Just gets better and better...

We have owned a Briel pump machine for 5+ years, and we roast and grind our own coffee.
The first cups made with the LaPovini were better than anything we have had (or made) in the past 5 years! Better than any local establishments have produced, or that we have managed to eek out of our machine...
Our only regret is that we didn't discover these marvelous machines earlier!
There is enough help online to get you up and running with a LaPavoni, and the video helps as well. The included printed instructions are more than adequate.
You probably won't need the single shot filter holder...the double is just right.
Our mixture for cappaccinos is 1/2 cream and 1/2 water, which froths wonderfully and is much creamier than any milk mixture. The LaPovoni steams this incredibly. Our model doesn't have the automatic attachment, and we don't miss it.
A good burr grinder is a must, but that is likely true for all good coffee making.
Don't be afraid of these beautiful beasts.
Coffee Worth Drinking

Finally there is a Espresso machine that makes a GREAT cup of coffee. Takes only 4 or 5 minutes to warm up, a "no brainer" process to pull a great espresso. Compared to stove top or other electric espresso makers, this company has spent the time and energy to develop a machine that gives GREAT coffee morning after morning. If you can remember to refill the water tank, clean out the basket, wipe off the steamer rod -- you will have good coffee day after day.
My only regret is that I didn't buy the 16 cup maker. But life cannot always come up roses.
