For those who are serious about their coffee, there are few machines better than this. The Pasquini Livia 90 is a beautifully styled coffee machine available in both automatic and semi automatic models. It reflects very closely the professional machines found in cafés and coffee shops, and is able to produce fantastic quality coffee, cappuccino and whatever you feel you can make with it.

 

The beauty of this machine is that it allows you to properly froth the milk. This is what will enable you to be more creative than if you had just a regular domestic coffee machine. After a while, you will be consistently producing great froth, and perhaps eventually produce some interesting designs on your lattes, too, just like a professional barista.

 

The the specs and features of the machine:

 

1. Ability to brew coffee and steam milk at the same time

2. 1200w brass and copper boiler

3. Large water reservoir (over a gallon)

4. Display lights and indicators

5. Safety system

6. Warms up cups

7. Low maintenance

 

The difference between the semi automatic and fully automatic machine is that the fully auto version enables you to push a button and the coffee will be poured automatically for you. This enables you to concentrate on frothing the milk, or do something else. It also means your coffee will be poured at a consistent rate, and largely be the same every time you use it.

 

Apart from that, the machines are the same. It measures around 12 inches by 13 inches x 15 inches and is presented in a stylish stainless steel case which should look good in most kitchens. The Pasquini Livia 90 has space on top to store cups, and this allows them to be warmed through before being used, as well as offering convenient storage. No hunting for cups for example.

 

Both machines are borderline commercial quality, this means that they use high temperatures and pressures to produce the quality coffee, and of course the necessary pressure to produce great milk froth. It is very difficult to produce consistent froth on lower pressure espresso machines, which is why this machine is great for domestic use.

 

Although it is borderline commercial quality, it is unlikely to do a great job in a commercial environment, simply because of demand. Fully commercial espresso makers are able to continually make cup after cup, very quickly. The Pasquini Livia 90 wouldn't be able to keep up, so if you're after a machine for a business, this isn't the one. It is designed for domestic use, and as such, it is ideal.

 

Amazon is a good place to read reviews from customers who have bought products, and for this model, only a handful have written a review. However, out of all the reviews, the lowest rating it receives is 4 stars, and that was from only one person. The rest all gave it 5 stars, so this indicates the quality of the machine. Great, consistent, quality coffee is the most usual complement it receives.

 

In all, this is a high end domestic espresso maker. It is as close as you will come to a commercial standard machine in the home. In all, the Pasquini Livia 90 is a great machine and should seriously be considered by a serious coffee lover.
