  • La Pavoni Botticelli specialty

    Hi coffee experts.
    I was wondering if anyone can advise on how good of a coffee machine the specialty is?
    I was originally looking at the synchronika but have found this to have all the same features for 1k less.
    The only difference being copper La pavoni) vs stainless steel boilers(ECM).
    The bonus with la pavoni is it has flow by default vs an attachment which will set me another $200 or so for the ECM.
    Thanks for your help

    I have no idea but it sure looks the goods.

    Your best bet would probably be to find a local stockist and have a bit of a chat and some hands on time with it.

    Not very helpful I am afraid.

      It would be worth a call out to any of the site sponsers that stocks them too.

      I have had my Niche for maybe 6 weeks and am really enjoying it. I've packed up my Eureka Atom and am using the Niche exclusively at the moment.
      I find it works very well for me.

      Thanks IrisGanache you've been super helpful. I feel like I'll already have a big upgrade as all I've ever known has been the Breville smart grinder and built in grinder in the oracle

      I've had a Breville Smart Grinder, it was my step up from my herb/coffee blade chopper. My first machine was a Delonghi Icona, it was a long time ago lol.

    We supply both the ECM and La Pavoni range.

    The Synchronika is a better finished machine although feature wise both are very similar.

    Also in the mix is the Izzo Alex Duetto, similar in build quality to the ECM and has a Flow Control kit, IMS screen and basket as standard offering at the moment.

      Thank you for your response. When you say better finish. Is it a better build quality ? As in you would expect it to last more or better finish on regards to aesthetics.

      Also with an ims screen vs bottomless stock portafilter can you enlighten me on the perks of having an ims.
      I'm upping my coffee game to this level and hoping for it to be the endgame machine so want to make the most informed decision I can make

        Hi John,

        By better build quality its more aesthetics than lasting longer. Panel fit and finish, rounded edges V straight cut, drip tray fit etc are better on the ECM and Izzo over the La Pavoni at this price point.

        IMS are a specilaist manufacturer of shower screens and baskets. They give a better distribution of water through the shower screen group head / basket and generally will give you a better yield from your extraction. They can be a little less forgiving on incorrect grind and dose so can take a bit to "dial in" when moving from the stock baskets and screens.
        They are a useful upgrade and when looking at a top end dual boiler as you are they they are worthy of consideration.

        Feel free to call if i can answer any questions directly

        Cheers

          Good evening everyone.
          I bought the la pavoni. I tried it in the only Sydney store I could find it in.
          The finish was quite lovely.
          Ultimately ended up paying $3750 for the machine and got a few things chucked in.
          I have to say I'm really grateful to all the support everyone provided me. And Antony despite going local I really appreciated your help. I chose local for purposes of having support near me. But a big thank you for your information.
          And to iris. Your wisdom was appreciated.

          This machine is an absolute gun.
          I just can't believe how much of an improvement it is in both frothing and coffee extract performance over the Breville.

              I wish I can upload a video but after a few shots I managed to pull a perfect extract.
              thanks to everyone with your assistance.
              I tried to upload MP4 and google photos link but both didn't work
