Greetings,
I am selling a Pontevecchio Lusso club spring lever espresso machine.
It's a two group machine. (Please note grinder shown in photo is NOT included in this sale).
It was purchased from a work colleage who received it as a wedding gift last September, but doesn't drink coffee, well he does, but he's not a Coffeesnob.
It's approximately 12 months old and in great condition, as can be seen in the photographs. I have the owners manual, but no other paperwork or box, sorry, I didn't receive them.
I was going to list all the features, but chances are that if you are on this site, you probably know a lot about the machine already.
It's beautifully built, and really solid.
It comes with two double portafilters, and a single, single and a half and double filter baskets, a coffee spoon, a plastic tamper, and also a timber (home made) tamper which fits the baskets perfectly. You could buy a new tamper, but the one I made works well, and is really nice to hold.
I can deliver if you are in Melbourne and make a coffee for you if you like, but rest assured it works perfectly, and makes excellent espresso. Steaming milk is so easy, and the steaming power is incredible. I am so impresssed with the steaming ability and ease of making microfoam, it's truly awesome.
It's a spring lever group, which means the spring puts the pressure on the coffee puck, and this means superb repeatability, and really nice espresso.
As a general statement, over the months I've owned it, all I can say with certainty that it's easy to use and very 'forgiving'. It's a serious machine, so it needs to be paired with a serious grinder.
I bought it as a trial to test whether I really want to move from an E61 machine to a Lever before spending big bucks on something like an Izzo Lever, and this machine has been so much fun to use, and a real surprise as to it's abilities. It's definately made me think I'm a lever type of guy.
I'm selling it due to financial reasons, as my wife recently was made redundant, so I need to be politically correct and sell all my surplus toys, this machine, my collection of antique razors, etc etc.....but rest assured, once we are back up on our feet I will be looking to get another lever.........well that's my plan, just don't tell my wife.
Buy with confidence. I am very particular with my equipment, and this machine is really something special.
PS I have the brass fittings for the antivac mod, and will give that to the buyer, as well as some Insulbrite boiler insulation, but I haven't had got around to installing them.
Asking $1250.
Fotos on the way...having troble uploading for some reason
