LA PAVONI PLH PROFESSIONAL LUSSO WOODEN HANDGRIPS sold with a professional mono-dose grinder.

Professional: a combination of style, quality and reliability. The machine is largely constructed of cast brass and is built to last. The large boiler ensures that lime scale deposits have minimal effect, meaning minimum maintenance is needed. By lifting the lever, a piston inside the group is raised, allowing water under pressure to infuse the coffee in the filter holder. The lever is then lowered, causing the piston to force the water through the coffee into the cup. The user therefore can vary the speed at which the water passes through the coffee, ensuring this latter is made exactly according to his own requirements.

Model Professional allows 16 cups of espresso to be made consecutively. Boiler and group in chromed brass, chromed base, safety valve, steam jet comes with the original 3 hole head and a custom made singe hole jet head for more effective frothing, sight glass, manometer. Handles: lever, filter holder, boiler cap, steam knob in rosewood. Drip tray in ABS plastic, grill for cups in steel.

THIS IS THE NEWER MODEL WITH THE LARGER GROUP AND FILTERS FOR IMPROVED TEMPERATURE STABILITY AND ABILITY TO HOLD MORE COFFEE
