Hi all

I''ve been googerling for a couple of hours now and cant realy seem to find any info for the La Pavoni Cellini.. Someone tried to get some advise on the machine a year ago http://www.coffeeforums.com/viewtopic.p ... ht=cellini
But the answer seems in conclusive..

I''ve used a La Pavoni lever machine for some years now.. But over time, i''ve become lazy. I''m now looking for a machine thats makes a decent cup of espresso without all the hazel. Is there anyone out there who knows if this is a decent buy or knows another semi-automatic in that price-range that will do the job.

Sorry if the english isent perfect. Its not my primary langugage :)

I''ve also been looking for info on the Cellini and can''t find any reviews or user experiences. If I do happen to find anything I''ll be sure to post it here.

Perhaps a more knowledgeable member of the boards can take a look at the spec sheet and tell us what they think.

For what it''s worth I''m looking at this as an upgrade to a Pavoni Espresso Inn.

I found a few things about it...... 60mm baskets are a bit large and you may have a hard time finding a nice tamper for them. It has a 40 oz. water tank, which means frequent refills. I just saw another ad claiming it has a 64 oz. tank, so who knows....... Looks to have some sort of cheesy frothing aid on the steam wand. Not needed.........

All in all it looks to be a decent machine, but for that price range I'm sure there are much better options. Later!
