Pasquini Espresso Machine

The Pasquini family has been in the espresso-making business since the '50s. The Pasquini espresso machine models are infused with fifty years worth of passion and experience to create a line of commercial style espresso machines that are well known for their ability to both captivate the eye and of course produce great espresso.

The Pasquini company is known for creating top notch residential and commercial coffee equipment and one of the best known Pasquini espresso machine models out there is the Pasquini Livia 90; built to be durable and long-lasting like a commercial machine, but can fit remarkably well in any household kitchen.

The Pasquini Livia 90 is one of the most popular espresso machines precisely due to the fact that it can be used equally well both in the home as well as a coffee bar environment or why not even at the office. This espresso machine model should be viewed as an investment in a quality product that one will be using for many years to come. Being amongst the finest semi-commercial espresso machines available at the present time, the Livia 90 comes loaded with features that contribute to its excellent reputation.

This model is capable of simultaneously brewing coffee and steaming milk, thus being a tremendous time saver and as such increasing the rate of drink production which in a coffee bar or shop environment is crucial. The machine comes with very simple to use controls which make using it and learning to use it nothing more than a sinch.  Once you turn it on the Livia is fast, warming up within seven minutes of being turned on and ready to make your espressos.

There are in fact two types of Livia machines: one is an automatic model which provides the user with the least direct control over the making of their espresso meaning that the machine will control the flow of liquid without any sort of human effort whatsoever. The other Livia is a semi-automatic model which basically means that the user can turn the flow of the espresso on and off. The Livia can brew one or two cups of espresso at the same time and thanks to its commercial-style construction it can be left turned on all day without any problems, so if you enjoy drinking coffee or espressos all day at home, you can always get a fresh cup in a flash. Its commercial-style construction is also responsible for its rather hefty weight of fifty pounds.

Another Pasquini espresso machine is the Livietta T2 semi-automatic model which is considerably more compact than the Livia 90. This doesn't mean that this model is less than the Livia 90, with a powerfull 15 bar pump and two thermo-blocks which allow it to steam and brew at the same time, the Livietta can be ready to brew in two minutes and is ready for steaming in four minutes. This is a great choice to make when space is at a premium being only twelve inches tall and eight wide.
