The Pasquini Livia 90 Semi-Auto Espresso Machine, a standard-setter from Italy, was designed for home, office, or small restaurant use; it is jam-packed with sturdy commercial components from an internationally famous professional espresso machine line.

A true connoisseur's espresso machine, the Pasquini Livia 90 is a lifetime investment for the espresso aficionado. It uses a heat exchanger process - the boiler is used for steaming on demand, and espresso water is drawn straight from the built-in reservoir. The water is flash-heated as it passes through a piping system inside the boiler. This allows the creation of one espresso shot after another, and instant steaming for large parties is never a problem.

The Livia 90 can brew espresso & froth milk simultaneously, an absolute necessity for any espresso machine used for entertaining or in a semi-commercial environment. This timesaving feature eliminates the need to wait for the boiler to ""recover"" between espresso brewing and milk heating functions (common on all single boiler machines).

Similar to the Livia 90 Automatic, the semi-automatic lacks the automatic's one-touch brewing system.

  • SOLID CONSTRUCTED MACHINE, ONE OF THE BEST IN THE PRICE RANGE

    Ping0817 | Fri, 03/09/2012 - 14:44

    Through my road of pursuing espresso nirvana I have experimented with several different machines from the Breville (what a mistake), Gaggia Classic, La Pavoni lever to my most recent acquisition - the Pasquini Livia 90.

    Construction -
    The machine is well constructed with beautifully chrome plated goodness all around, love the large cup warming area that allows me to place 4 espresso cups and two latte cups with room to spare. The chrome plating is much better than some others I have seen/used and provide better scratch resistance. It also quite a bit shorter than most of the E61 machines out there so if counter clearance is a concern for you, this machine fits nicely under my standard height kitchen cabinet. Large water reservoir with auto shut-off feature enable this machine to be ran all day. I had this machine turn on 12+ hrs daily in my office for 2 years with no issues at all.

    Mechanical -
    Wow, two screws opens up the entire machine for you to adore on the wonderful brass awesomeness, although much more complex than the innards of the Gaggia Classic, it is well laid-out easily identified. Love the old school rocker switch and the brew pressure gauge.

    Shots -
    Great espresso shots with nice body and crema, although I feel there is a bit less complexity than the E61s. Quite a bit more sensitive to grind & tamp than the Gaggia Classic. Very strong steam for all you latte drinkers, latte art quality microfoam is easily attainable.

    Common problems -
    The steam wand only has a little plastic tab for you to move it around and inexperience user can easily burn themselves by accidentally touching the wand itself.
    The 3 way valve isn't the best of quality and a stuck valve is a common issue especially you use hard water with high mineral content. I remedied mine by opening it up every 6 month, carefully sand out the build-up on the 3 way valve's shaft, apply food grade lubricant. A tell tell sigh of your valve is start to stick is when you start hearing a clicking sound during or after brewing.

  • GREAT ESPRESSO MAKER

    Fantastic top of the line espresso machine from a company that still understands craftsmanship - this model was one of the first crossover pro-sumer type machines that blurred the lines between full commercial and upscale home use - it't current popularity is a testament to the quality of the original design.
