Hi All
Be gentle. this is my first post!
Can i have some advice on the above with a view to buy
Im looking to buy a coffee machine (assume that I will buy a grinder too). Now, I like my coffee. 90% of my coffees are short macs or short black. my wife drinks hot chocolate. i drink about 2-4 short blacks a day (down from my 16 but thats another story) and was wanting to buy a machine. we have a venezia and that is "OK"
so, i have narrowed it down to a fairly wide list. My interest is drinking coffee.
My questions are:
[list bull-redball][*] How difficult is it to use a pavoni and to get a good shot? Given that it is a lever, that adds another variable to how fast should you pull the lever? Or is it matter of tweaking the tamp and grind to get a good shot with a 25 sec pull?
[list bull-redball][*] What are the pros and cons of the millenium and pavoni? I read the pavoni doesnt do milk that good ( do have the occasional latte
[list bull-redball][*] we do have guests from time to time and wed make maybe 4 at a time but not that often)
[list bull-redball][*] finallay, what is PID? how does it influence the taste of coffee?
thanks all[/list]

) that it couldnt make good (enough) espresso to satisfy me - if youre expecting the sort of god shot that routinely comes from an HX commercial machine driven by an experienced barista then i think you would probably be happier learning to drive the lapav even with its many limitations than you will be with a single boiler pump like the silvia.
