Pros
Larger Brew Group Head
- Compared to other La Pavoni manual espresso machines, the Stradivari has a larger brew group, which has solved some of the temperature quirks of previous models
Heavier Components
- The Stradivari is a weightier espresso machine than other manual models, so while it still has a tendency to move a bit during extraction, it is heavier and remains more stable than other models
Excellent Espresso
- Manual lever espresso machines really are where it's at when you're talking about high-end, quality espresso extraction. You have the ultimate control over your espresso -- which can be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on your perspective!
Cons
Learning Curve
- You're going to have a few up close and personal dates with your Stradivari manual espresso machine before you can really get to know it -- but once you're figured out how to pull shots from this machine, you'll wonder why you ever dabbled with any other espresso machine before
Requires Burr Grinder
- Consistency in coffee ground requires that you invest in a higher end burr grinder in order to successfully extract great shots with the Stradivari
2nd Shot's the Charm
- It's often said that the first shot on manual espresso machines are not that great -- hence, you'll probably end up throwing out your first shot of the day
How it Works
The Stradivari manual lever espresso machine looks to you to do the heavy lifting: You'll grind, tamp and even function as the pump during espresso extraction. Full details on the Stradivari are available in La Pavoni's
