And you look good doin’ it ….ooooee! 😉 – Kat
Gail mentions that it takes a while to get used to it and to learn how to
make consistent shots. I was wondering if she could share with us her
technique step-by-step to get the best out of the coffee? I really want to
buy one of these lever machines, but I’m a novice at this and I keep
hearing that if you don’t know how to use it, you can ruin a lot of quality
coffee.
Silvia isn’t actually finicky with grind; it gets that rap because it’s
often the first machine people will buy that is actual a traditional
espresso extraction, not pressurized. It’s not any more finicky or
particular, IMHO, than other traditional machines. This guy definitely
benefits from very even grind, so is worth a higher investment re: grinder.
As far as the larger traditional lever machines, not sure – Kat
Cool. They’re a single or double group spring lever machine with a
thermo-syphon head, so much more stable temperature than most
non-commercial levers. Fairly good value IMHO.
I’ve seen these in restaurants all over Europe, but have never seen them in
action. Still haven’t seen it in action : ( Maybe Gail can show us a shot
from one of these on an upcoming video??
You can see her do so on the video linked in the description. – Kat
Cool! Let me know how it goes 🙂 – Kat
Yep – check out the video linked in the description. – Kat
en verdad??? 😀 yo soy de aquí de Mérida, Yucatán. 🙁 pero ya me habré ido
a estudiar a Xalapa, Veracruz¡ nooooo KAT me hubiera gustado mucho
conocerte¡¡¡ 🙁 🙁
Levers! Happy 🙂 Ever heard of the Ponte Vecchi Lusso lever machines from
Italy? I was going to purchase a La Pav but decided to hold off and save a
little more for a PVL. Still saving 🙁
is it worth paying a bit more for the pro model? Is the gauge really
necessary or does the larger boiler create better foam?
i’d love to have one of these machines. they embody the spirit of what
espresso is.
Great to hear! I think it’s more about the practice of working with what
you have. There are a few other machines that also can be a little crazy
with the steam; I think that if you get the hang of it, you’ll be happier
in the long run – Kat
Now you’re just torturing me! There are 3 videos linked in the description
— two shot pulling and 1 frothing. – Kat
I’ve heard of them but we haven’t ever researched them to see what their
story is … I’ll put it on the research list 🙂 – Kat
Orphan Espresso sells a single-hole tip for this machine as well. Rather
inexpensive and just better to spend the extra few bucks on that tip rather
than trying to drill a hole in an acorn nut. I’ve heard of people using
that tip on their De’Longhi EC155 as well, and I’ve ordered one to give a
try on mine.
I much prefer the art of drinking coffee.
Me voy al Yucatan en Septiembre; necesito practicar! 😀
Awwww — sounds like you were in egg v. chicken — too groggy to make
coffee, so you needed coffee to make coffee! 😀 – Kat
I think these units would be awesome for that person that loves drinking
just espresso.
Pressure 🙂 – Kat
Great video but you didn’t pull a shot!! D: Its okay, I still love you guys.
Excellent video and, as always, the girls are spot on! A few comments after
owning a Stradivari model for a few months now: – Best shots I have ever
pulled BUT, as stated, you do need a decent grinder to go with it. I own a
Mazzer Mini and I am very happy with the set up; – Milk frothing is hard –
not only the angle is awkward but it is all too close to the machine and,
on that note, this beast gets HOT… trust me, it will not take long for
you to learn where NOT to touch it! continues…
Please take a look at the link in the description – Kat
Continued… – Keep children away from it… it gets HOT! – If for whatever
reason you can’t finish pulling your shot DO NOT try and take the porta
filter out (you will get burned and have coffee all over you) – Basket a
bit to small and it does not lock on porta-filter (annoying when using
knocker boxes etc); – Ordered a single hole tip… looking forward to
having a go it … (although my thing are espressos only) Am I happy with
it? OH YES!!! Love the whole ritual…
Simply the best domestic on the market I bought my La Pav Pro in Milan in
1984 Its still going strong Runs fine on Red Lavazza or grind your perfect
bean blend whatever. The frothing Arm !! Easy just gently bend the arm
outwards until it fits your Valkyrie (what else would you put your milk in)
use your little finger on it as a temperature gague and get perfect cappos,
machios every time .Buy one great investment !!
le= the in french ,,,,, WHY YOU NO DO SHOT??? <3
Hey Kat! Nothing to do with this video but I thought I’d share with you
here. So, last week I woke up, extremely tired, decided to make a shot and
I dosed my coffee in to the portafilter without the basket… don’t ask me
how I managed to do that… and long story short, there was an explosion on
the kitchen counter. lol just thought I’d share. Great vid as always ps.
I concur; excellent double ristretto shots … I don’t like the steaming
functionality, myself. – Kat
