Legend Mitch! First time repairing a la pavoni myself and your video made it so simple to follow. Keep up the good work!

[@mitchdoescoffee]

Thanks Donny. I appreciate you tuning in mate. 😎

[@tummy_fritters]

Thank you for this! Having watched, I've seen 3 or 4 things I did wrong in my install lol. Cheers!

[@mitchdoescoffee]

Glad to hear I could help. 🙏 Stay tuned for more LP vods coming soon.

[@crisbivolaru819]

nice mod I think it adds a lot in terms of shot consistency but I have mixed feelings about it because maybe it takes away that "drive by feel" sensation that I love so much about this machine just like an old classic car you want to feel it while you drive it not watching gauges hope it makes sense

[@mitchdoescoffee]

That is actually a very good point... 👍 My only concern is that I am going to be putting some rather high quality beans through this thing soon & I've learnt that I was DEFINITELY pulling way more than 9bar previously... In my opinion, it is well worth the sacrifice of tradition if the final result is a better coffee 💪

[@tawonga05]

@@mitchdoescoffeeI’m considering this mod. I’m curious though, do you have an idea of what 8-9 bars feels like? Sometime I feel like I’m applying as much pressure as I can (perhaps ground too fine) but maybe that’s what 9 bars should feel like, or is that like 12-15 bars? I truly don’t know how much pressure I’m pulling at, but my shots taste pretty good. I just want more consistency. Thanks! Great video

[@Residew]

Awesome! Thanks for the video! Who makes your wall mounted filter holder and demitasse? Any other recomendations for glassware?

[@mitchdoescoffee]

Thanks mate. I'm actually working on my own version of these wall mount accessories that will be available in the next coming weeks. I am a huge fan of the Kruve espresso cups.

[@vinct7023]

Great video. But at that price (330$), I would prefer to buy the next model which have all required sensors plus a larger rank of 1.6l. Yes the next model cost another 2 or 300 $ more depending on country and discount but it is just a matter of choice. Personally 330$ for such basic sensor is way too high, should be available for half that price.

[@mitchdoescoffee]

The esperto Abile is much more than $200-$300 more than the Europiccola. You may be confusing the boiler gauge for the pressure profiling gauge (not a basic sensor)

[@vinct7023]

@mitchdoescoffee I agree my bad English. I mean it was 300$ more on top of the 300$ sensor on top of the Europicolla, which give roughly 1600/1770$

[@kimohoganesq]

Well Done !!!!! 🤙

[@mitchdoescoffee]

Thank you! ❤️

Going to get one of those kits, I suspected I wasn’t getting to 9 bar however even “poor” looking shots still tasted OK. It’s got me thinking low pressure vs the “ideal” 9 bar is better to get fuller richer tasting shots. Not sure what the science says about 9 bar being the ideal pressure?

[@mitchdoescoffee]

I found I would have been pulling WAY over 9bar of pressure... The Coffee is so much better now. I will be doing a follow up video in 2 weeks after some experiments 💪

[@mooriginal]

I wondered. Going to buy a new machine perhaps. Do you think doing this mod will void the warranty?

[@mitchdoescoffee]

I would assume so. Any modifications to a machine will upset the manufacturer. However, LaPavoni has been around long enough to not really worry about these things... They have been proven to last through time. 👍

[@rires6661]

The 9 bars on the La Pavoni's 51mm grouphead may affect the coffee grounds differently from the E61 machine's 58mm grouphead. Or, it might not at all. What's your take on this?

[@mitchdoescoffee]

Under some circumstances, this will definitely throw some variables around. It would take alot of testing to measure exactly what is being effected.

[@nikos4553]

Comes all this lubricant in coffee?😮 it looks like to have direct contact with the water.

[@mitchdoescoffee]

Yes. It is a food safe grease & it is designed for this application. But you should always dump a few dead shots after servicing any machine to wash away the excess.

[@barriedavies5058]

Hi Mitch is there a way to reduce the pressure of my Torino. I watched the video you did on this model and you commented on how high the pressure was, I have the same problem. Also when ever I make a coffee the puk stays in the group head. unless I use a basket filter, single shot double even bottomless it still won't release the puk. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Looking forward to hearing from you Cheers Barrie.

[@mitchdoescoffee]

Hi Barrie... This is possible. Depending on your D.I.Y skills... my favourite version of this is in this link below. coffeesnobs.com.au/forum/equipment/brewing-equipment-pointy-end-1500-3000/53688-guide-sunbeam-torino-em8000-reducing-the-pressure-with-a-dimmer

[@barriedavies5058]

Thanks Mitch very helpful.

[@subhkhan]

Great vid Mitch...I recently installed this but i'm still having issues with a lot of water coming through the group on lifting the lever (this is regardless of tamp and grind) would appreciate any thoughts?

[@mitchdoescoffee]

That doesn't sound right. It sounds like you might have an issue with the grouphead inner sleeve.

[@subhkhan]

@@mitchdoescoffee Thanks Mitch...removed it today the sleeve gasket and sleeve itself look great...really not sure what to try next....got me stumped!

[@mitchdoescoffee]

Are the piston seals facing opposite directions?

[@subhkhan]

@@mitchdoescoffee yep came.preinstalled

[@mitchdoescoffee]

@@subhkhan hmmm... where about are you located?

[@MrLincoln87]

Where did you get this pressure kit from........ annnnnd how much? From what I can see... a good $300-500AUD? Or am I looking in the wrong places?

[@mitchdoescoffee]

This is where I get all of my LaPavoni parts & accessories. These guys have the complete kit for $330 www.casaespresso.com.au/piston-pressure-sensor-kit.html

[@odl21]

Not really necessary as you can feel the right pressure in the handle and repeat it accurately enough. There are more impactful pavoni mods out there

[@mitchdoescoffee]

I strongly disagree with this. How do you know what is "right"? This mod has made by far the biggest difference to making espresso on my LaPavoni
