!!!SOLD!!! - FOR SALE La Pavoni Europiccola 1974
Regretful sale, but due to a change in circumstances I need to start reducing the machines I have collected over the last couple of years.
I bought this from another CS member back in JULY last year. It was used almost daily for a few months, it taught me A LOT about espresso, can get some great shots from this machine with some attention to detail. Since then it has been used every now and then on weekends.
Changed over to Aus plug.
I replaced cracked steam wand with a new one from Francesco Ceccarelli.
New Pavoni double basket from espresso services UK.
New Italian made Motta tamper 49mm.
Single hole steam tip from Orphan Espresso (still have the original 3 hole tip as seen in the pics)
More recently, removed and cleaned piston, checked and lubed the seals with ROCOL sapphire silicone grease. (food grade)
Lubed the pins and pivot point with orphan espresso machine oil.
Pulled apart and cleaned the pressure relief valve, in the process snapping the the already bent stem on the collar, these can be found new quite easily.
Pulled apart and cleaned / lubed the steam valve assembly.
There is no scale.
Gave it a bit of a polish.
Have been pulling a few shots with it over the last week and it is running beautifully. Ethiopians and Central American really shine for my palate with this machine.
Price: $400 Firm.
Prefer pick up from northern beaches Sydney but willing to discuss shipping at buyers expense and risk.
