La Pavoni Cellini Classic

Overview

The La Pavoni Cellini Classic was a semi-automatic departure from La Pavoni's famous lever machine heritage, designed for users who wanted the La Pavoni name and Italian craftsmanship without the manual lever pulling technique. The large brass boiler provided excellent thermal stability and powerful steam performance. The commercial-style steam wand produced quality microfoam for latte art. The Cellini name evoked the Italian Renaissance goldsmith, reflecting La Pavoni's self-image as artisan manufacturers. While it never achieved the iconic status of the Europiccola, the Cellini Classic earned respect as a capable and characterful semi-automatic during its long production run.

It features a single boiler boiler system made of brass with a 600 ml capacity. The vibratory pump delivers 15.0 bars of pressure for optimal extraction. It uses a Proprietary group head.

Priced at $650, the La Pavoni Cellini Classic is designed for home baristas looking for quality without breaking the bank. As a semi-automatic machine, it gives you control over the brewing process while handling pressure and temperature automatically.

In terms of build quality, the La Pavoni Cellini Classic is a substantial machine, weighing in at 10.5 kg, manufactured in Italy, drawing 1000W of power. With dimensions of 250 x 310 x 330 mm (W×D×H), make sure you have adequate counter space. The built-in water reservoir holds 2000 ml, making it easy to set up anywhere in your kitchen.
