My dad pulled his old La Pavoni Europiccola out of storage for me recently and I’ve really fallen in love with this thing. Its simplicity is its strength, but it also makes it a little temperamental. You’ll probably struggle with it in the beginning, but it is so damn satisfying when you start to learn the ropes and are able to routinely pull perfect espressos by cranking down that lever by yourself. It might end up being too much involvement for the more casual enjoyers, but the real lovers are going to get swept up in the beauty of the process - and may persuade the less-committed with their enthusiasm.
