WTS Great little machine, I have brought and restored a La San Marco so this has to go(bills to pay). Great little machine in great condition. I brought from wholesale supplier, they had it in their kitchen. It was clean inside when I bought in about 6 months ago. I have replaced the group seal and pressure valve. I'm after $800 and can pack for shipping I'm located at postcode 5290.

Have just removed boiler and pipes, acid bathed to descale and put back together, so she's all squeaky clean. -

Hi Jason (and anyone else reading) I've previously been considering a Silvia or an Oscar but was wondering how this machine might compare?Comment

Hello mookmill,
Well first there is the size the pavoni is a little bigger then both the Silvia and Oscar. I can only tell you what I seen on YouTube or what I've heard from other people. The Silvia is a single boiler so you can either steam or pull a shot, you can't do at the same time and I've also heard the Silvia takes a while to master. The oscar has a heat exchange so you can brew and steam at the same time but it doesn't have a hot water outlet and it's casing is all plastic, so looks kinda cheap to me. The pavoni is 4lt boiler heat exchange with a vibe pump, and is easy to master. It weighs around 30kgs so it is quite heavy. The pavoni is classified as a commercial machine whereas the oscar and Silvia are domestic machines. I'm sure some Silvia and oscar owners can comment and give some input, I don't want to look biased because I'm selling the pavoni.Comment

I have owned a Silvia and we have a 2 group la pavoni bar at work, which looks like it is similar to this machine. The pavoni is a solid, reliable workhorse. If you want consistency you are far more likely to find it with this machine than a Silvia, the Silvia can make a cracking brew, but it is very finicky. The pavoni we have is very forgiving, you can throw any grind at it and it will normally make a reasonable cup and often a fantastic one. If they were the same price I would take the used pavoni over a new Silvia in an instant. Don't forget this will likely take up more room and running costs a possibly higher. Also keep in mind I am a bit of a noob so do take my comments with a grain of salt.Comment
