Thank you gentlemen! I remember staying at a hotel outside of Lucca and the ladies would serve espresso in the morning from a Grand Pavoni. I mentioned having a small one at home and they lit up with enthusiasm....and served me another on the house 🙂 I also try to keep to one a day.
The Pavonis on ebay here are pricey so Craigslist is a good option. And I have a couple of friends each of whom own a couple. We joke, you have to have at least two, one for when the other needs to be in the shop for a tune up 🙂 Mine will be needing a tune up soon because it's been at least two years. I baby it and it serves me really well. I'll try and post another pic soon in color.
