LA PAVONI Esperto Competente Lever Espresso Machine LPLESC01EU Stainless Steel Gold

The strengths of the Esperto Competente lever machine by La Pavoni

The Esperto Competente LPLESC01EU stands out for its typically Italian vintage aesthetic and meticulous finishes. It incorporates premium materials such as stainless steel and brass, enhanced with golden accents and wood touches. This composition makes it particularly resistant to limescale, thus considerably reducing maintenance operations.

Its original lever system controls the piston housed within the group. Lift it to master pre-infusion. Coffee extraction is then performed by lowering the lever. By precisely controlling the amplitude of your movement to reach the ideal pressure, you will achieve espressos worthy of Italy's most renowned establishments.

The 51 mm brass extraction group incorporates a competition shower screen equipped with 200 µm filtration. Two pressure gauges allow real-time monitoring of boiler pressure as well as extraction group pressure.

The boiler offers a generous capacity of 1.6 L, complemented by a Pressostat system ensuring optimal pressure stability. The heat-up time of the Esperto Abile lever machine is approximately 5 minutes.

It incorporates a safety thermostat manually resettable, a temperature indicator, a safety valve as well as a water level indicator.

This machine is equipped with a standard portafilter with 51 mm diameter and a Fascino portafilter allowing bottomless extractions. It works in perfect synergy with the competition filters provided: a 9 g 1-cup filter, a 14/16 g 2-cup filter and a 20 g filter.

To fully exploit the potential of the Esperto Abile, pair it with a specialized espresso grinder. 

Furthermore, the single one-cup filter is also compatible with ESE pods.

The Esperto Competente LPLESC01EU model allows you to prepare 16 ristretto cups or 8 espresso cups in a row. It also offers you the ability to create creamy milk froths, to compose all your favorite caffeinated beverages.

The Cappuccino Automatic system for your milk-based creations

All La Pavoni lever espresso machines are equipped with a stainless steel steam wand. This allows you to texture milk, heat it, but also prepare tea or lengthen your espresso.

The steam function is interchangeable with the Cappuccino Automatic, which automatically draws milk directly from the container of your choice (jug, bottle...), heats it with steam and dispenses it hot and perfectly frothy into your cup. A simple and effective solution!

Steam can be delivered for a maximum duration of 16 minutes.
