Given budget, space, and the amount of use our filter grinder gets, I'm leaning towards a manual grinder since it will see much less use. Got a short list, just trying to weight pros and cons... (Kinu Phoenix, 1zpresso JE-Plus or JX-Pro)

Might not apply to yours since you mentioned the PO demo'ed steaming and frothing milk. Mine, with the original 3-hole nozzle had a hard time to produce the same kind of froth you get with a commercial machine. It just seemed like it did not produce enough steam pressure and stem volume. This is also the reason folks are selling 1-hole nozzle tips on eBay. I changed mine from 3 to 1-hole and it is day and night... |

I've seen a couple of videos about this, and trying the machine out this morning I concur, I'm not a fan of the 3 hole tip. I pulled a half way decent shot on the first go but I'll still need to practice with this to get it dialed in. <edit> The plastic tamper that comes with these really sucks, but I wanted to give it a go anyway. To temped to play with it while I'm waiting for a proper, correct sized tamper to arrive. W. Last edited by William; 08-04-2020 at 11:30 AM. |

Don’t sleep on the one I linked, it’s every bit as good as more expensive hand grinders. Everyone seems to have latched one to that one brand and they’re all sold out anyways.

I quick reminder to new La Pavoni lever pullers..."IT'S HAWT!!"
I was pulling the lever and resting my other hand on the top of the fill knob, relaxed my fingers which then touched the top of the steam/frothing bar...Whoa...that's hawt!!! Not burned or anything, just a quick reminder that much of this machine gets quite hot. PS: Getting better even without a proper tamper...which is on the way. W.

Well it's here
The good:
- It's indeed a professional, it was sold as a europiccola. I was correct in identifying the model and approximate age. - It's in OK condition. Definitely not like new but overall fairly clean and seemingly undamaged. The bad: - It's 230v but I thought it probably was. Need a 110v element. - It's missing the grate but I knew that already. - It's missing the portafilter which I was 50/50 on since it wasn't pictured but also wasn't mentioned as being missing. I guess that means I'll just get a bottomless portafilter now so not really a big loss. |

Just received mine Monday, what a piece of machinery. Thank you for the detailed review that convinced me to buy one.
