La Pavoni Napolitana

Looks Nice, Nice form factor. It's nice and narrow - doesn't take up too much counter space, doesn't stick out far from the wall ; The power cord is also long (over 3 feet) ; Brass boiler, brew group, portafilter, etc - everything stays nice and hot ;...

Grinder is LOUD ; Built in tamper (push upward on machine to tamp) is useless - have to open machine body to remove/unscrew it ; The ready light is lit when it's not ready, and unlit when it's ready - very counterintuitive ; Cup warmer could be hotter...

QUALITY of coffee! What else is important? Additionally, the machine is made with industrial quality. The grinder works very well. The switch for the grinder is built in so that pushing the portafilter into the slot starts the grinding. The components...

The steamer does not make the dense foam that a commercial machine is able to produce. The coffee grinder does not have enough whole bean capacity. The grinder is not centered over the portafilter basket. There is no easy way to remove the beans from...

Sturdy stainless construction ; Heavy grouphead/portafilter ; Fast warmup ; Easy to get microfoam ; Easy to pull a shot with nice crema ; Excellent adjustable grinder ; Low cost

My boiler light sometimes comes on before the shot completes ; I wish the boiler generated more steam and hot water before reheating ; Grinder cleanup is harder in combi machine

New Design with easier to use water tank, Nicer portafilter ; NOTE: New design has piece of foam to help hold water tank, and black rubber trim along front edge of machine on top, grates for grinder and waste water also have round holes instead of...

Grinder settings very inconsistent ; Cheaper boiler and pump ; Grouphead temp will not go past 160 without activating steam button

The coffee it produces tastes good. Machine attractive. Grinder works well

Insufficient pump pressure

Great looking machine ; Large drip trays ; Good-sized water tank ; Built-in grinder (didn't have to drop an additional $200-$400 on a grinder!) ; Great espresso

Even with the large water tank, it needs to refilled pretty quickly, but maybe it's our espresso-drinking habits ; No 3-way solenoid; I'd love if this machine had one, specifically for backflushing ; Even though the stainless steel finish is...

Semi-automatic. Huge water tank. Huge drip trays. Looks great just sitting on the counter. Built-in grinder. Built in Tamper. Clean up a breeze

No cup warmer. Coffee port positioned too far ahead of the activation switch. Requires practice to make a great shot

looks good ; easy to use ; easy to clean ; great espresso shots ; good steaming atachment ; affordable

There are only a few. One being that there are a few plastic peices which would have been nicer in a steel finish. These are the grinder and portafilter tray as well as the dials and buttons. However these trays are easily removed for cleaning which is...
