The La Pavoni – Grand Romantica GRL has the classic dome with an eagle attached which covers the top knob on the boiler. It also has a raised pressure gauge with rosewood handles which add to the timeless elegance of this espresso lever machine. La Pavoni machines are made from quality materials that are strong and durable.
The Grand Romantica has a larger nickel-plated brass boiler which is the same size as the Professional model, and similar nickel-plated brass group head, steam wand and chrome base.
The boiler has a capacity to produce up to 16 espressos. Alternatively steam directly from the boiler, produces 12 to 14 cappuccinos.
All lever models are equipped with 51mm 1 cup filter which can be used both with ground coffee and standard pods as well a 2-cup filter dish.
The filter holder is equipped with a ring to avoid the filter’s falling during the dumping of spent coffee grounds. Also included are an interchangeable steam wand with the Cappuccino Automatic frother, a plastic tamper and measuring spoon.
