Machine Overview

The Breville Dual Boiler is priced at approximately $1599.95 and targets an intermediate skill level, making it suitable for users with some experience in espresso making. In contrast, the La Pavoni Europiccola is more budget-friendly at around $730 and is designed for advanced users, suggesting that it requires a higher level of skill to operate effectively.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Breville Dual Boiler uses a button activation method and features a dual boiler with a stainless steel construction, providing a heat-up time of 5-15 minutes. Meanwhile, the La Pavoni Europiccola operates with a lever activation system and a single boiler made of chrome; it boasts a quick heat-up time of under 5 minutes. The Breville has a brew boiler capacity of 0.3 liters while the La Pavoni's brew boiler capacity is larger at 0.8 liters but lacks a steam boiler capacity.

Features Comparison

When it comes to key features, the Breville Dual Boiler includes features such as auto shutoff, PID control, pre-infusion, a shot timer, and a steam wand, allowing for greater control and flexibility during brewing. The La Pavoni Europiccola, on the other hand, lacks many of these features including auto shutoff and PID control but does offer flow control and a steam wand as essential capabilities. While both machines are made with stainless steel, the Breville machine provides more advanced brewing functionalities suitable for an intermediate user, while the La Pavoni encourages experimentation for the advanced user.
