Review: A Work of Art that Works - After watching reviews I thought it would take a while to get the hang of the La Pavoni, but cappuccinos were good the first day. By day two I had the grind dialed. It is small enough to fit under the cabinet if I take the eagle off. I love the total manual operation. It heats up in less than 10 minutes. I think the steam wand froths milk well. It is nice to have the lever pressure gauge. It is very quiet heating up. Do not touch the boiler when it is hot or you may throw milk all over.
