As reviewed in The Telegraph Magazine, the Europiccola “makes a great lever-operated machine, a classic for espresso experts”.

The Europiccola, chrome finish has evolved since it was first introduced in 1958, but one thing has never changed. It is, and always will be, a classic among lever coffee machines.

Constructed chiefly of brass, and with a large boiler to help minimise the effect of limescale deposits, the Europiccola will keep making excellent coffee for as long as there are coffee drinkers in your home.
The simple lever mechanism enables you to make coffee exactly as you want it. Lift the lever to raise the piston, drawing pressurised water into the filter-holder where it infuses the coffee. By then lowering the lever, the water is forced back down through the coffee as slowly or as quickly as you require for your perfect strength cup (the slower the stronger). Since all the water is heated simultaneously, the Europiccola can make eight cups of espresso consecutively.
Classic in look, classic in quality, the Europiccola continues to set the standards for other coffee machines to follow.
Supplied with English plug. UK supplied machines are 240V to ensure satisfactory performance.

La Pavoni Coffee Machines – “Only in Italy could the engineering for a simple cup of coffee be this complicated. like their pasta, which comes in 500 shapes, and their fashion, which confounds the eye with colour and design, Italian coffee-making is a complex and beautiful process. No simple push a la cafetiere, no bubbling percolators, no instant granules. No, to make an espresso you need a machine that will handle high-pressure steam through a series of channels at a certain temperature so the coffee is intense yet never burnt. coffee must be ground to a fine powder with a certain grain and exactly measured. Bitterness, grainy liquid and limply foamed milk is the punishment for getting it wrong. Why not, in that case,” let Armorica allow you to reach coffee nirvana with their professional espresso machines.
