OK, we know the La Pavoni PL-16 Lusso Chrome Automatic Espresso Machine
Good espresso machines are out there. Lots of them. But great machines for under $1,000–that is all but unheard of. So when we decided to branch out and take a look at the PL-16 Lusso, it was with some trepidation that the machine might not live up to the La Pavoni name.
As you can imagine, people who review coffee grinders are pretty passionate about coffee; and people who love coffee can’t go long without a fix of espresso. Having to go out for espresso is a pain, but most people refuse to spend the big bucks it takes to get a really great espresso maker.
If this sounds like you, don’t even bother reading the rest of this review–just click the link and grab a PL-16. The design is beautiful, day-to-day maintenance is a snap, the unit is easy to clean, and having a maker like this in your kitchen so you can have national coffeehouse chain quality espresso anytime you want–this is espresso nirvana!
The unit also comes with an attachment allowing you to use coffee pods if you wish. As coffee grinders, this thought seems crazy to us, but the option is there for you. You can also make cappuccino with the frothing adapter, so you have several options from the single purchase. The frothing function worked well enough, but our real love was the espresso.
Bottom line–if you want a great espresso maker with the taste of espresso from a thousand-dollar machine, look no further!
